Jarrow Formulas Lutein
Lutein
is an antioxidant carotenoid that occurs in nature with zeaxanthin, a closely
related carotenoid. Lutein and zeaxanthin concentrate in the eye’s macula
and lens, as well as in the skin, breast and cervical tissues. Both lutein and
zeaxanthin protect the eyes from oxidative stress. The macula is responsible
for focus and color differentiation. Lutein and zeaxanthin are found in dark
green, leafy vegetables. While the average American intake of lutein is only
2 mg per day, other population groups consume up to 20 to 25 mg per day.
Jarrow Formulas® Lutein is extracted from marigold petals. Each softgel
contains 20 mg elemental lutein from40 mg lutein esters, which are naturally
occurring, morestable and are well absorbed.
