Lutein - food supplement

Description:
During everyday life our eyes are especially exposed to the harmful effects of our environment. This organ needs extra protection because of the harmful effects of free radicals. Lutein is an antioxidant specifically supporting the health of our eyes!

The retina at the back of the eye is responsible for processing the images our eyes see. A part of the retina called the macula is especially sensitive to the blue and ultraviolet portions of the light spectrum. Lutein is concentrated in the macula, and helps support the pigment density that protects the macula from damage, by filtering out blue and ultraviolet light.



We are born with lutein in our eyes, but the body cannot make this nutrient on its own, so replenishment can only come from diet. Dark, leafy green, or bright cruciferous vegetables are good sources of lutein, but many people have diets lacking in sufficient quantities of these types of food. As well, regardless of diet, the amount of lutein in the eye may deplete with age. Lutein supplementation may help support replenishment of this important nutrient.

ATTENTION!

  • You should consult with a qualified medical practitioner, before taking any supplement.

  • Do not exceed the recommended daily intake.

  • Food supplements cannot substitute for a balanced mixed diet.

  • Keep out of reach of young children.

Lutein is a carotenoid, the family of nutrients responsible for giving vegetables their bright yellow or orange color. All carotenoids are excellent anti-oxidants, helping to protect cells against damage caused by free radicals, but lutein also plays an important role in healthy vision.
