• Description: Lutein - 95% is a purified carotenoid compound, which is derived primarily from the petals of the marigold plant, Tagetes erecta. This high-purity extract contains a significant concentration of lutein, a naturally occurring pigment known for its role in the human body, particularly in the eyes. The primary mode of action of lutein involves its antioxidant properties; it functions by neutralizing free radicals, thus protecting cellular structures from oxidative damage. Within the human eye, lutein is concentrated in the macular region of the retina where it helps to filter harmful high-energy blue wavelengths of light and maintains healthy cells.
