Short Description
Important antioxidant to help maintain healthy vision.*
What is Vitacost Lutein?
Vitacost Lutein is a dietary supplement providing 6 mg of a high-quality form of lutein, plus 300 mcg of zeaxanthin and 60 mg of bilberry extract per single-capsule serving.
Lutein and zeaxanthin are members of the carotenoid family, nutrients found naturally in the macula of the human retina. The macula, located in the center of the retina, is responsible for producing the sharp, central vision needed to see fine detail (for reading, sewing, etc.). Research shows that higher plasma levels of lutein and zeaxanthin may be associated with macular health.*
Lutein and zeaxanthin are natural, fat-soluble yellowish pigments also found in plants and algae that protect against the toxic effects of ultraviolet radiation and oxidation.
Bilberry, a close relative of the blueberry, is a fruit containing biologically active components called anthocyanosides. Anthocyanosides, which are responsible for the bilberry’s deep blue color, are antioxidants that help protect cells from free radical damage.*
How does Vitacost Lutein support health?
-
FloraGLO’s antioxidants can protect healthy cells from damage caused by free radicals, while also filtering out potentially dangerous, high-energy blue light and ultraviolet radiation from the macula.*
-
Bilberry contains polyphenols and anthocyanidins, which possess antioxidant properties.*
-
Bilberry protects against lipid oxidation.*
-
Bilberry supports antioxidant enzyme activity.*
-
The use of berries in the diet helps to increase quercetin, which is a very powerful antioxidant.*
-
Studies recommend taking 6 mg to 20 mg of lutein daily for eye health and antioxidant protection.*
Why choose Vitacost Lutein?
-
Combines three nutrients in one easy-to-take supplement.
-
Features standardized extracts of lutein, zeaxanthin and bilberry. Standardization ensures consistent levels of active ingredients in every dose.
-
Features FloraGLO lutein, extracted from marigold flowers using a patented purification process which creates a version chemically identical to the lutein found in vegetables and eggs.
-
Marigold flowers are one of the best sources of lutein.
-
Contains 100 servings per bottle.
-
