Now Foods, Lutein Double Strength

Description

Lutein is a red-orange carotenoid pigment produced by plants and is present in the diet in the color of fruits and vegetables. In the body, lutein is one of the predominant pigments concentrated in the macula, a specialized area of the eye responsible for central vision. It is also known to be deposited in the skin.

The functional role of lutein in these vulnerable tissues is to protect against sunlight-induced free radical production. This product is naturally derived from marigold flowers.
