Capsicum annuum

Paprika extract

Antioxidant and visual function support

Paprika extract (Capsicum annuum) is rich in natural pigments called carotenoids, including compounds such as capsanthin and beta-carotene. These compounds are known for their antioxidant properties and their role in protecting cells from oxidative stress.

Carotenoids also play a role in maintaining normal visual function. They contribute to the health of the eyes by supporting light-sensitive processes and protecting eye tissues from oxidative damage.

In addition, paprika enhances the palatability of snacks by adding natural flavor and color, making it a functional and appealing ingredient in daily nutrition (Verhelst, 2025).
