Size:60 Vitacost Lutein is a dietary supplement providing 20 mg of a high-
quality form of lutein, plus 840 mcg of zeaxanthin per serving.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.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.).How does
Vitacost Lutein support health?Research shows that higher plasma levels of
lutein and zeaxanthin may be associated with macular 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.Studies recommend taking 6 mg to 20 mg
of lutein daily for eye health and antioxidant protection.About
