What is Lutein?

Lutein belongs to one of the carotenoids, not only an important natural pigment, but also an excellent antioxidant, and the main component of the macular region of the human eye retina.

In nature, Lutein is usually combined with fatty acids (such as lauric acid, palmitic acid, etc.) in the form of lutein esters  and widely exists in green vegetables and yellow/orange fruits. Marigold petals contain abundant amounts and can be used for industrial extraction. 

The following are cases and literature on the application of Lutein in eye health care:

1. Lutein can prevent and slow age-related macular degeneration. Through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, Lutein can slow down the necrosis of retinal cells and choroidal cells, thereby preventing and delaying the occurrence and development of AMD.

2. Lutein can prevent and slow diabetic retinopathy. Lutein can inhibit VEGF and other angiogenic factors to reduce new blood vessel formation in diabetic retinopathy. 

3. Lutein helps relieve eye fatigue and dry eye symptoms. Lutein can increase tear secretion and fluidity, protect the cornea and conjunctiva, and thus relieve eye fatigue and dry eye symptoms caused by prolonged screen time.
