Carotenoids - the vibrant hues of plant pigments that the body can use to create vitamin A - contain strong antioxidant properties and bolster the immune system's response to illnesses. In addition, they are precursors to vitamin A and incredibly effective free-radical defenders.

Lutein is a nutritionally important carotenoid that occurs in selected, often brightly colored vegetables, such as spinach and kale.

Like many other carotenoids, lutein is an important antioxidant nutrient that protects healthy cells from oxidative and free radical damage.

Scientific research points to lutein's function in the retina: shielding the tissue from blue-spectrum light and oxygen, both of which generate harmful free radicals that can wreak havoc on the fatty acids in the visual cells. This unchecked production of free radicals is thought to eventually lead to macular degeneration and cataracts.

Lutein is vital for supporting optimal eye health and for promoting healthy vision. Lutein is essential for healthy night vision and a lack of lutein can result in night blindness.
