Ultra Lutein® - 60 softgels

Ultra Lutein
contains high doses of lutein, an antioxidant belonging to the carotenoids that is particularly important for eye health.
The highest concentration of lutein in the eye is found in the visual center (macula or yellow spot), the place of sharpest vision. The eye is characterized by a pronounced metabolic activity and a resulting high energy requirement. Accordingly, the need for antioxidants to fight free radicals is also high. Each softgel provides 20 mg of highly concentrated, pure lutein extracted from the petals of
Tagetes erecta
is won.
According to the AREDS2 study by the American National Eye Institute, lutein acts as a natural antioxidant in the macula and also in the lens, helping to protect against the harmful effects of high-energy blue and ultraviolet radiation. In addition, the AREDS2 study provides well-founded evidence that lutein contributes significantly to the prevention of age-related deterioration of vision and conditions such as cataracts and AMD (age-related macular degeneration).
