Lutein Plus+

Nature's Secret for Healthy Eyes

Lutein is in the carotenoid family, as is the better-known beta carotene. Carotenoids are the natural colorant or pigments found in dark green leafy vegetables such as spinach and in egg yolks.

Lutein levels correlate with healthy eyes, apparently reducing the risk of macular degeneration. A correlation is also seen with higher lutein levels and healthy skin.

Lutein is an antioxidant that appears to quench or reduce harmful free radicals in various parts of the body. Free radicals can play a role in a variety of chronic diseases, including cataracts and macular degeneration.

Lutein also filters the high-energy, blue wavelengths of light from the visible-light spectrum. Blue light, in both indoor lighting and sunlight, is believed to induce oxidative stress and possible free-radical damage in human organs exposed to light, such as the eyes and skin. Blue light is not the same as the commonly known ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B wavelengths of the invisible spectrum.

Most Americans get insufficient lutein in their diets. Research suggests that 6 to 20 mg of lutein per day are needed to realize its health benefits.

Lutein Plus+ contains maximum amounts of Lutein, along with Zeaxanthin, another powerful carotenoid antioxidant that has been shown to be highly beneficial and protective to the eyes. Further increasing the antioxidant properties are Bilberry and Vitamin E.
