What is Lutein?
Lutein, known as “the eye vitamin,” is part of a group of antioxidants called carotenoids. Carotenoids are what give color to certain fruits and vegetables, like peas, corn, avocado, broccoli, kale, cabbage, spinach, and egg yolk. Lutein is also found in the human eye within the macula and retina. Lutein is commonly taken by mouth to prevent eye diseases, including cataracts and Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), a disease that leads to vision loss in older adults.
What are the Benefits of Lutein?
Aside from its powerful antioxidant properties, Lutein may help reduce inflammation in your eyes, reduce oxidative stress, boost the sharpness of your vision, reduce glare impairment, protect eye tissue from sunlight damage, reduce cell loss and cell death related to eye disease, improve visual contrast sensitivity, and protect your eyes from harmful “blue light.” It may also provide benefits related to Diabetic Retinopathy and Dry Eye Disease.
What are the Side Effects of Lutein?
There are no known side effects of using Lutein.
