Lutein
Supportive
for vision health
Lutein belongs to the carotenoid
family of antioxidants. In the body lutein has been found in the eye,
brain, breast and cervix. Research has shown lutein to be supportive for
vision health. In the eye, it is found mainly in the macular region, the
entire retina, ciliary iris bodies and lens. As an antioxidant, lutein
supports the body in protecting macular tissue from photo-oxidation by
filtering blue light and preventing oxidative damage by free radical
quenching. Adequate levels of lutein in the eye may potentially be
supportive in the absorption and dissipation of damaging UV radiation.
Research involving lutein supplementation has shown a 130% increase in
serum levels of lutein. Furthermore, most subjects had an increase in
their macular pigment density as a result of the supplementation.
