Carlson Labs Lutein With Kale, 180 Caps

Carlson Labs provides lutein, with naturally occurring zeaxanthin, in a base of 260 mg of Kale. Lutein is one of the predominant pigments concentrated in the macula, a specialized area of the eye that is responsible for central vision.

In addition, it is known to be deposited in the skin. Lutein’s functional role in these vulnerable tissues is to protect against sunlight-induced free radical production.

There is very good evidence that the lutein in food helps protect against cataracts and macular degeneration, two common, age-related eye disorders. Lutein and another carotenoid, zeaxanthin, form the yellow pigment of the retina and absorb blue light, a harmful component of sunlight.

Lutein is found in relatively high quantities in your eyes, where it may play an important role in maintaining eye health.

As we age, lutein levels tend to decline in the eye, specifically in a part of the eye that helps to focus light known as the macula. Lower macular levels of lutein are associated with macular degeneration, an age-associated eye disease that commonly causes loss of vision.

According to the American Macular Degeneration Foundation, increasing dietary levels of lutein, or taking lutein supplements, may help to prevent and treat macular degeneration.
