Lutein

Lutein is a carotenoid (meaning a natural color pigment) and a natural antioxidant that is found in dark green leafy vegetables, various fruits, and egg yolks. Lutein supports health of the eyes, and has been linked to reducing the risk of macular degeneration. Lutein helps to reduce the damage caused by free radicals, and it has been shown that many Western diets are deficient of this nutrient.

About 6 to 10mg of lutein per day may cause a dramatic improvement in the overall health of the average American, with research indicating that this small amount could cut health care costs by $2.5 billion over 5 years.

The eyes and skin are exposed to the outside environment and the toxins that come with it. By supplementing with lutein, you can keep your eyes and skin healthy and more resistant to daily free radical damage, thereby allowing you to maintain a more enjoyable life for a long time.
