How Lutein Works
Lutein is from the Douglas Labs Vision product line.
Lutein and zeaxanthin are nutritionally important carotenoids that occur in selected, often brightly colored vegetables, such as corn, spinach and kale. Like many other carotenoids, lutein is an important antioxidant nutrient that protects normal cells from oxidative and free radical damage.
Lutein and zeaxanthin are efficient quenchers of free radicals in the body, and recent research has shown that these important carotenoids are the major eye pigments of the retina. Lutein is especially concentrated in the rods, which are those visual cells of the retina that are responsible for black and white vision in the dark.
Lutein’s role in the retina is to protect the tissue from the damaging effects of high-energy blue spectrum light and oxygen to which the eyes are subjected more than any other tissue in the body.
Lutein, provided by Douglas Laboratories, is extracted from Marigold flower petals, a potent natural source.
