Take care of your eye health and visual acuity

Lutein Extra is a dietary supplement in the form of easy-to-swallow SOFTGEL capsules, containing the highest dose of natural crystalline lutein on the market – 40 mg. The formulation is additionally enriched with zeaxanthin and safflower and soybean oil. This product improves vision function and protects it from the harmful effects of radiation and other adverse environmental factors.

In the human body, lutein is concentrated in the macula, the part of the retina responsible for sharpness and central vision. The human body cannot synthesize lutein on its own. It must be adequately supplied through diet (most lutein is found in egg yolk and dark green leafy vegetables) or taken in supplements.

Blue light protection, strengthening, antioxidant

Why is lutein so important for eye health? Its presence in the macula protects vision from UV radiation, especially harmful blue light. Lutein, accumulating in the retina along with zeaxanthin, acts as a natural filter, slowing down tissue oxidation and the release of free radicals. A strong macula translates to healthier and sharper vision.

Nowadays, there's increasing concern about the harmful effects of blue radiation, which we're exposed to while working at computers, using smartphones or tablets, or relaxing in front of the TV. Many of us complain of symptoms like dry eyes, redness, and eye fatigue after a long day. Supplementing with lutein replenishes our stores of this important antioxidant, slowing down the processes that damage vision and strain the eyes. Research also indicates its anti-inflammatory properties and beneficial effects on age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Lutein in the form of a supplement belongs to the group of preparations classified as safe.

Description and action of Lutein Extra ingredients:

• Crystalline lutein, 40mg – an antioxidant in the form of a yellow pigment from the carotenoid group, which concentrates in the macula (the part of the retina responsible for visual acuity). Traditionally described as a "blue light filter," lutein is a powerful antioxidant that protects our tissues from oxidation and the release of free radicals. According to recent research, lutein also exhibits anti-inflammatory properties and stimulates the immune response.
• Zeaxanthin, 2mg – the zeaxanthin used in this preparation comes from the marigold (tagetes erecta). Combined with lutein, zeaxanthin affects the strength of the macula, which in turn determines the eyes' resistance to harmful radiation. Zeaxanthin is a carotenoid found naturally in yellow and red vegetables (tomatoes, corn), as well as in broccoli and Brussels sprouts.
• Safflower Oil – obtained from the seeds of the Carthamus tinctorius plant, this oil is an excellent, natural source of vitamins A and E. Vitamin A is particularly important for maintaining healthy vision, while vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that fights inflammation in our bodies.
