Marigold is another name for calendula. Marigold petal extract contains antioxidant carotenoids, especially lutein, zeaxanthin, plus beta carotene, which converts to vitamin A (See Antioxidants, Vitamins). It is used as part of a detox programme and helps regulate gut movement. Marigold supports healthy-looking clear skin, immune system function and balanced oestrogen levels. It supports balanced gut flora by protecting against pathogens, especially when exposed to contaminated food or drink.
