Lutein has been found to be present in a concentrated area of the macula, a small area of the retina responsible for central vision. A study at the University Medical Centre, Utrecht in The Netherlands concluded that supplementation with Lutein significantly increased the density of the macular pigment. Antioxidants have been shown to protect the cells in the eyes from free radical damage. Extensive research has shown that eating diets that are low in lutein can result in diminished levels of lutein in the macular.

Lutein is a powerful antioxidant that protects the eye by filtering out blue light before it can damage the macula. If sunglasses are the first line of defense against blue light, lutein is the last. You are born with a certain amount of lutein in your eye, but your body doesn't reproduce it.

Lutein is a type of carotenoid that is naturally found in leafy green vegetables where it plays a protective role for the plant, protecting it from excessive sun damage.

Amazingly, our bodies use lutein in a similar way, depositing it in the macular of the eye, where it helps to protect the delicate light receptor cells from damage, by filtering out certain harmful wavelengths.

Lutein is one of the most talked about nutrients that has only fairly recently shot to fame, becoming the most recommended supplement for eyes.

Each tablet provides 5mg of Lutein.
