Lutein is an antioxidant carotenoid that occurs in nature with zeaxanthin, a closely related carotenoid. It is found in large concentration in the eye. Research shows that lutein intake correlates directly to the amount of lutein found in the macula of the eye. Lutein in the macula protects the eye by blocking harmful blue light rays that come from digital screens, while supporting healthy macular pigment optical density.
Studies suggest a link between adequate lutein levels in the body and less risk of eye disease, especially as we age. Our product contains Lutemax 2020 Lutein, a naturally-derived marigold extract providing all three macular carotenoids – lutein plus enhanced levels of both zeaxanthin isomers, to optimally support eye health.
