Lutein, also known as xanthophyll, is a yellow carotenoid found is several vegetables, fruits, corn, flowers, and in egg yolks. The best source of lutein is the marigold flower (Tagetes erecta). Carotenoids are a group of natural fat-soluble pigments that play a significant role in the human body. They are well-known for their biological and chemical properties since they act as natural antioxidants aiding in protecting cells and tissues from the damaging effects of singlet oxygen and other free radicals.

However, among the over 600 compounds of known carotenoid pigments, less than 20 are found in the human body. In addition to other essential antioxidants, the human body does not synthesise lutein nor any other carotenoid. Therefore, all carotenoids found in the body are derived from dietary supplements or foods that people eat. Lutein is one of the largest groups of carotenoids and is a highly effective anti-oxidant that has enhanced stability and is, therefore, useful in multiple applications.

Although the best option would be to obtain lutein naturally, Lutein 20% helps realise the anti-oxidant’s full potential concerning disease prevention, chemical, and biological benefits. Other than its anti-oxidant properties, lutein can be converted to vitamin A in the body, which is an essential micronutrient that promotes normal vision. In the macula, lutein together with zeaxanthin filters out potentially harmful UV and blue light, protecting the sensitive optic nerve cells from damage. Recent studies demonstrated that lutein is also likely to protect against skin cancer, prostate and breast cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and certain diseases of the eye such as glaucoma and cataracts. In addition, people with existing eye problems or damage can decelerate or even stop the condition from progressing by adding plenty of lutein to their diet.
Label Information

Ingredients: Lutein 20% (from Marigold oleoresin flowers)

Formula: C40H56O2

CAS: 127-40-2

Purity: greater than 20%.

Ship code: Item will be shipped at ambient temperature only.

Storage Instructions: Lutein should not be refrigerated. Keep in a dry location and at room temperature

Dosage: Lutein is best taken orally. Medical practitioners suggest that the standard daily dosage of Lutein 20% should be 200mg to help achieve the optimum medical effect. This dosage is specifically tailored to ensure that the user does not suffer from retinal disorders, cancer, or AMD (age-related macular degeneration). However, a firm dosage deadline is yet to be established. It is always best to stick to the dose. Controlled intake is also recommended since lutein can be reactive when combined with other medications and substances. Supervised intake of lutein is thus the best way. Furthermore, it is inadvisable to consume lutein without proper medical consultation and prescription from a physician.

Side-effects: Even though lutein has no side-effects when correctly administered, there are several factors that can contribute to the occurrence of side-effects of Lutein 20%. Such factors include the patient’s status of eye sight, age, gender and dosage. As above, lutein should be taken under the supervision of a physician. While research indicates that pure lutein might offer numerous benefits, it can result in lutein pile-up when the dose is exceeded. Uncontrolled lutein intake results in a build-up of lutein on the human skin, in the eye, and in the blood, which has negative effects on the body. Intense lutein build-up can cause breathing problems, chest pain, and irritation in eyes and skin. Some individuals also reported blurred vision due to over dosage of lutein. An excessive presence of pure lutein causes carotenosis which leads to eventual skin discoloration, giving it a yellowish appearance. Among the side-effects of lutein overdose, the most significant side effect is the skin turning yellow.

WARNING: Do not take if you are under 18, pregnant, or nursing. Do not take if you have high blood pressure or any medical complications. Always consult with your physician before taking any new dietary supplements. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent disease.
