Calendula officinalis, also known as marigold, has an extended history of beneficial qualities for our health. Calendula functioned as a typical component of alternative remedies all through Europe for quite some time.

Marigolds include several antioxidant carotenoids, which is what give the petals their brilliant yellow and orange colours. An antioxidant is a chemical that protects cells from harm due to free radicals or dangerous molecules. Free radicals are a result of the normal wear and tear of our bodies, or environmental elements including tobacco smoke or pollution. Free radicals can harm cells so much that they damage our body’s DNA, and can result in different kinds of cancer. High consumption of anti-oxidants helps to fight the damage of free radicals. The main carotenoids in marigolds are lutein and zeaxanthin, frequently coupled together, and lycopene. The Linus Pauling Institute has stated that zeaxanthin and lutein happen to be the only antioxidants that are in the eye’s retina. Their presence there helps in the protection of the eye against cataracts. Lycopene is documented to decrease the danger of cardiovascular disease and prostate cancer
