Lutein and zeaxanthin, its companion carotenoid, go hand-in-hand in nature. These compounds accumulate in the macula of the eye, as well as the brain, skin, breast, and cervical tissues*, acting as a shield against age- and stress-related damage.* Found in dark green, leafy vegetables, many people consume up to 20-25 mg daily, whereas the average American consumes only 2 mg!
Jarrow Formulas® Lutein is extracted from marigold petals. Each softgel contains 20 mg lutein (net yield) as free lutein, the form found in the macula.*
