MaQxan® is the branded Lutein and Zeaxanthin range from Ingex Germany GmbH, manufactured by Ingex Botanicals (P) Limited, India — a leading cultivator and manufacturer of marigold (Tagetes erecta) carotenoids.
Naturally derived from marigold flowers, Lutein and Zeaxanthin are among the most recognised carotenoids for eye, brain and skin health and healthy aging. Naturally present in the macula, they are widely used to support visual wellness, blue-light protection and antioxidant defence.
Backed by 20 years of cultivation expertise, a completely backward-integrated supply chain, 5,000+ acres of dedicated farmland, and 100% natural, ethanol-only extraction (hexane-free), MaQxan® offers true seed-to-shelf traceability.

In nutraceuticals, quality is too often judged at extraction. True quality is defined far earlier — at the field. MaQxan® is built on two decades of marigold agronomy engineered for high-xanthophyll yield, consistency and full traceability.

Carefully selected seed varieties bred for superior lutein and zeaxanthin content, supplied directly to partner farmers — reducing variability at the raw-material level.

Cultivation across Hassan, Chamarajanagar, Thalavadi and Sathyamangalam diversifies risk. Selective early-flush harvesting and off-season programs keep potency high and supply uninterrupted.

A backward-integrated chain embeds traceability into daily operations — faster regulatory responses, confident batch-to-batch consistency, and reduced risk of adulteration or disruption.

Sustainable practices, transparent relationships and continuous agronomic support sustain both the supply chain and the farming communities behind it — creating shared, lasting value.
Quality cannot be engineered downstream if it is compromised at the source. This cultivation-first philosophy is the foundation for standardised extraction and clinical validation.
