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.
Lutein content in eyes of quail
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,).
