Lutein 20 mg 60 Softgels

Lutein and zeaxanthinare types of pigments found in plants called carotenoids. Carotenoids are what give many fruits and vegetables their bright red, orange, and yellow colors. The name lutein comes from the Latin word luteus, which literally means yellow. Carotenoids play a vital role in the growth and safety of many different plants, but when consumed in a healthy diet, they also benefit humans.

Although they cannot be produced in the body, lutein and zeaxanthin from food accumulate in the eyes. In fact, lutein and zeaxanthin are the only carotenoids found in appreciable amounts in the macula. The macula is an area of ​​the retina with a high concentration of specialized photoreceptor cells responsible for focusing clearly on objects directly in front of you. With so much light entering the eye and the cellular activity that sends these visual signals to the brain, the retina is an area of ​​high oxidative stress.

Luteinhelps filter out high-energy blue light from the sun and artificial light before it reaches these important photoreceptor cells. Otherwise, blue light can cause oxidative stress and possible free radical damage to the eyes.Zeaxanthinmostly placed in the center of the macula. This is the area most responsible for sharp central vision. Because of this location, zeaxanthin may provide additional eye health benefits compared to lutein supplements. Lutein and zeaxanthin support the health of your eyes, supporting healthy vision.
