    Product Description:

    Lutein and other carotenoids are thought to have antioxidant properties. Antioxidants protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, a damaging byproduct of normal metabolism. Free radicals in the body rob other molecules of electrons and damage cells and genes in a process called oxidation. Research conducted by the Agricultural Research Service of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) shows that lutein, like vitamin E, fights free radicals, a powerful antioxidant .

    Lutein is concentrated in the retina and lens and protects vision by neutralizing free radicals and increasing pigment density. Lutein also has a shading effect against damaging glare. In a small study published in the journal Experimental Eye Research in 1997, lutein was shown to significantly reduce the damage caused by blue light reaching the sensitive parts of the eye. Two subjects participated in the experiment for 5 months. The equivalent of 30mg of lutein was taken daily.
