Jarrow FORMULAS Lutein-20 Mg-60 Softgels
Lutein is an antioxidant carotenoid that occurs in
nature with zeaxanthin, a closely related carotenoid. 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.
The average American's intake of lutein is only 2 mg per day, other
population groups consume up to 20 to 25 mg per day which is the ideal amount.
Jarrow FORMULAS® Lutein

elemental lutein from lutein esters, which are naturally occurring, more
