Lutein is an important antioxidant and a member of the carotenoid family (a group of natural fat-soluble pigments found in plants). It is also known as "plant lutein" and exists together with zeaxanthin in nature.
Lutein is an important antioxidant and a member of the carotenoid family (a group of natural fat-soluble pigments found in plants). It is also known as "plant lutein" and coexists with zeaxanthin in nature.
Main pigment components of the retina: Lutein and zeaxanthin constitute the pigments of vegetables, fruits, flowers and other plants. It is the main component and the main pigment in the macula of the human retina*. The human eye contains a high amount of lutein, which cannot be produced by the human body and must be supplemented by lutein intake. If this element is lacking, the eyes will become blind.
Protect the eyes from light damage, delay eye aging and prevent pathology: Ultraviolet rays and blue light in sunlight enter the eyes and produce a large number of free radicals, leading to cataracts, macular degeneration, and even cancer. Ultraviolet rays can generally be filtered out by the cornea and lens, but blue light can penetrate the eyeball directly to the retina and macula. Lutein in the macula can filter out blue light and prevent blue light from damaging the eyes. The outer fat layer of the macula is particularly susceptible to oxidative damage from sunlight, so this area is prone to degeneration.
Antioxidation helps prevent cardiovascular sclerosis, coronary heart disease and tumor diseases caused by aging.
Protect eyesight: Lutein, as an antioxidant and photoprotective agent, can promote the regeneration of rhodopsin in retinal cells, prevent severe myopia and retinal detachment, and improve and protect eyesight. It is especially suitable for students, drivers and others.
Relieve symptoms of visual fatigue; (blurred vision, dry eyes, swollen eyes, eye pain, photophobia, etc.)
Increase macular pigment density, protect the macula, and promote macular development;⑺Prevent macular degeneration and retinal pigment degeneration;
