Lutein

The power of a single flower.

Overview

Product Overview

Lutein is an antioxidant that is commonly found in leafy greens like broccoli and kale. Lutein improves eye function by protecting the macula from oxidative stress that is caused by exposure to blue light and UV.  According to studies, lutein can improve eye function and slow age-related macular degeneration. Lutein has also been shown to improve cognitive health as well as improve skin health. 

  • Standardized from marigolds

    Marigolds aren’t just pretty flowers; we also source our potent lutein from them.

  • Encapsulated for Stability

    Our microencapsulation techniques were developed to help provide stability to these delicate actives. From hard shell capsules to tablets, there’s a delivery system for every occasion.

  • Lycopene and Lutein Patent

    Our synergistic combinations of Lycopene and Lutein are patented for lowering blood pressure or reducing vascular inflammation.
