Potency and Purity Guaranteed - Certificate of Analysis is available.

Lutein is a potent antioxidant carotenoid found in abundance in fruits and green leafy vegetables. Lutein is also one of the dominant pigments found in the macular region of the retina. In the macula, lutein is selectively accumulated from plasma and filters out visible blue light. Recent studies suggest this filtering process serves to protect the retina from damage caused by light or oxidation. This Lutein product is extracted from the marigold flower.

Lutein dosage for eye health
What is the right dosage of lutein for eye health? Some people may not require any lutein, whereas others may benefit from 20 mg of lutein a day. However, most people will find anywhere from 2 to 6 mg a day of additional lutein is quite adequate. If you can only find a lutein supplement that comes in a 20 mg dosage, try taking a quarter or third of a capsule, or take this lutein supplement two or three times a week.

There is good reason to believe that the lutein in eyes of various animals differs due to genetics, diet, and environmental needs. For instance, analysis of the retina of quail eyes reveals the predominant carotenoids to be astaxanthin and galloxanthin along with smaller amounts of other carotenoids (lutein, zeaxanthin, 3'-epilutein, and epsilon-carotene,).
