In the human body, lutein is a fat-soluble pigment found in the eyes, skin, cervix, heart and chest and has the function of promoting health in these areas. In the eye, lutein is distributed throughout the retina, lens, and macula.
Lutein has been proven to have excellent ultraviolet absorption and oxygen free radical scavenging ability. It can improve the fundus microcirculation and protect retinal tissue, especially the optic cells.
Lutein can effectively filter ultraviolet and blue light, reducing the damage of light to the eyes. Lutein is an excellent antioxidant with strong antioxidant effect in the eyes, and also it can effectively filter short-wave blue light and ultraviolet light. Lutein and zeaxanthin are the only carotenoids found in the retina and lens of the human eyes. Lutein is very important supplement during the development period of children's vision.
