Jarrow Formulas Lutein, Supports Visual Function, 20 mg, 60 Softgels

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 brain; skin; breast and cervical tissues.* Both lutein and zeaxanthin protect the macula from degradation normally associated with aging and 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 lutein (net yield) as free lutein; the form found in the macula.* Keep out of the reach of children.
