What isLutein ester powder?

Lutein is a carotenoid, which is a vitamin that comes from plants — it functions as an essential nutrient and antioxidant in our bodies. Antioxidants reduce the number of free radicals in our system that can cause cell damage and disease.Lutein esters from Tagetes erecta L. is a purified extract derived from the dried petals of yellow marigold flowers with organic solvents. It contains, as a major component, lutein esters of which helenien (lutein dipalmitate) accounts for the major part. A smaller proportion of zeaxanthin esters is also present. Helenien (β,ε-carotene-3,3′-diol dipalmitate) is member of a group of pigments known as xanthophylls and have no provitamin A activity.

You may hear lutein called “the eye vitamin” because it’s proven to help prevent diseases like age-related macular degeneration, or AMD. It functions as a macular pigment and helps your eyes naturally defend against rays from the sun and artificial light.

• It improves eye function and slows progression of Age related Macular Degeneration (AMD), cataract and glaucoma
• As a carotenoid, a powerful group of antioxidants, lutein quenches free radicals and guards against irregular cell growth resulting in degenerative diseases, including cancer and filters uv light to protect the eye and skin from harmful damage,
• Improves cell health by protecting against colon cancer, breast cancer, skin cancer

The following doses have been studied in scientific research:

By mouth:

For an eye disease that leads to vision loss in older adults (age-related macular degeneration or AMD): For preventing AMD, about 6-12 mg of lutein daily, either through diet or supplementation has been used. For reducing symptoms of AMD, 10-20 mg daily has been used. For reducing symptoms, 10-12 mg of lutein daily has been used.
