Lutein is one of many naturally occurring carotenoids
which help us see better. It helps support our skin, and it plays an important role in keeping our eyes healthy.
Lutein is linked closely to another substance called zeaxanthin because they both belong to the xanthophyll family of carotenoids, and because they are the only carotenoids found in both the macula and lens of the human eye. They act as powerful
antioxidants, and they help filter out damaging, high-energy blue light.
Lutein and zeaxanthin are chemically similar in fact,
both have the exact same chemical formula. They are the major components of the macular pigment in the retina. The macula is a small, heavily pigmented area of the retina responsible for our central, high-resolution vision.
Both lutein and zeaxanthin are natural, fat-soluble, yellowish pigments found in plants, algae, and bacteria. Lutein was named from the Latin word luteus which means "yellow," because lutein absorbs blue light, thereby making it appear yellow.
Lutein nutritionally promotes the health of your eyes.
Lutein is the principal carotenoid found in the
central area of the retina called the macula.
Lutein is not made in the body and must be
obtained from dietary sources.
As we age, the body's natural supply of this vital carotenoid can decrease, especially if dietary intake is insufficient.
Lutein supports clear vision.
Staring at a computer all day can be tiring for your eyes and it's been shown that the longer you work on a computer the more your eyes can be affected.
Lutein has antioxidant properties and is found in the macula of healthy eyes.
Scientific evidence indicates that lutein helps filter out high-energy blue light from the sun and artificial light, which may otherwise induce oxidative stress and possible free-radical damage to the eyes and skin.
Lutein can accumulate in cell membranes of the central nervous system, where it may support cognitive health.
Lutein promotes healthy skin and skin hydration.
Lutein may increase skin lipid levels, which can support skin hydration and overall skin health.
