Jarrow Formulas Lutein 20 Mg, 30 Gels
Jarrow Formulas Lutein Antioxidant Helps Support Visual Function And Protect the Macula. Lutein, as an antioxidant carotenoid, occurs in nature with zeaxanthin. Lutein and zeaxanthin concentrate in the eye’s macula and lens, as well as in the skin, breast and cervical tissues. Both lutein and zeaxanthin protect the macula from degradation normally associated with aging and oxidative stress. The macula is responsible for focus and color differentiation. Lutein and zeaxanthin are found in dark green, leafy vegetables. While the average American intake of lutein is only 2 mg per day, other population groups consume up to 20 to 25 mg per day. Jarrow Formulas Lutein is extracted from marigold petals. Each softgel contains 20 mg elemental lutein from 40 mg lutein esters, which are naturally occurring, more stable and are well absorbed.Lutein (from Latin lutea meaning "yellow") is one of
over 600 known naturally occurring carotenoids. Found in green leafy
vegetables such as spinach and kale, lutein is employed by organisms as
an antioxidant and for blue light absorption.
