Jarrow Lutein - 20 mg 60 softgels

Jarrow Lutein (20 mg) 60 softgels protect the eye from degrading with age and oxidative stress. Lutein is an antioxidant carotenoid that occurs in nature along with zeaxanthin (a related carotenoid). Lutein and zeaxanthin are concentrated in the eye’s macula and lens, the skin, breast tissue, and cervical tissue. The macula is responsible for focusing and for differentiating color. Jarrow Lutein (20 mg) 60 softgels are derived from petals from the marigold flower. Lutein and zeaxanthin are both found in dark green, leafy veggies. The average American takes in approximately 2 mg. of lutein daily while other populations take in up to 25 mg. daily. Each Jarrow Lutein softgel has 20 mg. of elemental lutein from lutein esters, which occur naturally in a more stable and absorbable form.
