Antioxidant and light filtering protection for healthy visual function*

 

Lutein, a carotenoid found in many fruits and vegetables, is naturally present in spinach and leafy greens. A potent antioxidant, lutein has been found to accumulate in the retina, helping to maintain macular pigment density and ocular health. Clinical studies indicate a connection between lutein supplementation and macula lutein concentration. An understanding of the carotenoid-binding protein, tubulin, can explain the uptake of lutein in the receptor layer of the eye. Pure Encapsulations' Lutein is structurally identical to natural lutein.

Clinical trials have indicated that lutein specifically supports vision health through a combination of pigment associated antioxidant protection and light screening mechanisms. Furthermore, a two-year, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study reported that lutein may support healthy visual function in older individuals more efficiently than alpha-tocopherol.*
