Lutein is an antioxidant and can absorb harmful light such as blue light.Co-existing with zeaxanthin in nature.Lutein
is the main component of plant pigments such as corn, vegetables, fruits and flowers. It is contained in the chloroplasts of leaves and can transfer the absorbed light energy to chlorophyll a, which is supposed to have a protective effect on photooxidation and photodestruction. It is also the major pigment in the macular area of the retina of the human eye.
Lutein is a kind of nutrient that can be absorbed when people eat raw fruits and vegetables in daily life. But the absorption utilization rate is generally low.If lutein is lacking, take a supplement. If you have a poor digestive system in the elderly, you can use the sublingual spray to supplement xanthophyll. Lutein was added as a dietary supplement as early as 1996.
1. The main pigment components of the retina
Lutein and zeaxanthin constitute the main components of vegetable, fruit, flowers and other plant pigments, but also the main pigment in the retinal macular area *. The human eye contains a high amount of lutein, which cannot be produced by the human body. It must be supplemented by the intake of lutein.Lack of this element, the eye becomes blind.
2.Protect the eyes from light damage, delay the aging of the eyes and prevent diseases
Ultraviolet rays and blue rays from the sun entering the eyes will produce a lot of free radicals, leading to cataracts, macular degeneration, and even cancer. Ultraviolet light can generally be filtered out by the cornea and lens, but blue light can penetrate the eye directly to the retina and macula, and lutein in the macula can filter out blue light to avoid the damage of blue light to the eye. The fatty outer layer of the macular area is particularly vulnerable to oxidative damage from sunlight, so this area is prone to degeneration.
3.Antioxidant
It helps prevent cardiovascular sclerosis, coronary heart disease and tumor diseases caused by aging.
4.Protect Vision
Lutein, as an antioxidant and photoprotective, can promote the regeneration of Rhodopsin in retinal cells, prevent severe myopia and retinal detachment, and improve and protect vision. Especially suitable for students, drivers and others to eat.
5.Relieve symptoms of visual fatigue :(blurred vision, dry eyes, eye swelling, eye pain, photophobia, etc.)
6.Improve macular pigment density, protect macular and promote macular development.
7.Prevent macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa.
8.Reduce the occurrence of glass membrane wart, prevent the occurrence of AMD.
