Lutein - Important Antioxidant for the Eye

Lutein is a carotenoid in vegetables and fruits, it is not made in the body and can only be obtained through large amounts of certain fruits and vegetables or though food and vitamin supplements. Products containing lutein are in high demand by consumer's who don't have time or don't choose to consume enough lutein in their diets. If you are concerned about the health of your eyes, consider Lutein.

Lutein is the primary carotenoid found in the macula, the central part of the retina, lutein has been found in the eyes,serum, skin, cervix, brain and breast. Within the human eye, lutein deposits itself in the macular region as well as the retina, cilary iris bodies and lens. While not a vitamin, lutein is an antioxidant that may help protect the macula tissue from destructive oxidation reactions by scavenging free radicals. Lutein also filters high-energy blue light that can damage the macula and skin.

Support for Macula Degeneration and Cataracts

Researchers at Harvard found that eating 6 mg of lutein a day lowered the odds of developing macula degeneration, a leading cause of blindness in older people, by 43%. According to several studies, loading up on lutein also seems to reduce the likelihood of cataracts on the eyes by 20 to 50%.

Lutein is found abundantly in green leafy vegetables such as spinach or kale, but few people eat enough to get an adequate intake of lutein. In order to consume the recommended 6 mg per day, one must eat a large bowl of spinach salad or equivalent.
