Lutein
Overview
Lutein is a naturally occurring carotenoid found in various fruits and vegetables, particularly in dark green leafy vegetables like spinach and kale. It is known for its antioxidant properties and its role in supporting eye health as a pigment in the macula of the eye, helping to filter harmful high-energy blue light and protecting the delicate tissues of the retina. This antioxidant activity may contribute to reducing the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a common eye condition that can lead to vision loss.
