Lutein (20mg) Overview
Now Lutein Esters (40mg) contains the powerful eye health carotenoid lutein, rich in lutein esters and standardized to contain high amounts of zeaxanthin and cryptoxanthin. These powerful carotenoids have been shown to protect eye function and promote healthy vision by preventing macular degeneration. These types of lutein carotenoids work as antioxidant scavengers of photo induced reactive oxygen species. In layman’s terms, that means that lutein can help prevent eye degeneration from exposure to sunlight and other external factors. If you’re looking for a scientifically validated eye health supplement, be sure and pick up a bottle of Now Lutein Esters (40mg).
Lutein (20mg) Description from Now
Lutein is an orange-red carotenoid pigment produced by plants and is present in the diet in colorful fruits and vegetables. In the body, Lutein is one of the predominate pigments concentrated in the macula, a specialized area of the eye that is responsible for central vision. In addition, it is known to be deposited in the skin. Lutein's functional role in these vulnerable tissues is to protect against sunlight-induced free radical production. This product is naturally derived from marigold flowers.
