Nutri Essentials Lutein Softgels, 20 mg, 240 Count

Nutri Essentials lutein, 20 mg with zeaxanthin is a unique formulation of lutein extract from marigold petals to supply 20 mg of lutein and 1 mg of zeaxanthin per serving for the well being of visual health. Lutein is an antioxidant carotenoid that occurs in nature with zeaxanthin, a closely related carotenoid. These are found naturally in the retina, macula as well as in the skin, breast and cervical tissues. The macula is responsible for focus, sharp, central vision and color differentiation. Lutein and zeaxanthin are two powerful anti-oxidants which help the retina maintain and form macular pigment. Maintaining healthy macular pigment levels may provide retinal protection against oxidative stress caused by normal UV exposure on the aging eye.
