Feature summary

Our most potent Lutein supplement contains 20 mg of FloraGLO® plus Zeaxanthin making it a valuable ally for healthy vision. The leading cause of blindness in adults over 40 is age-related macular degeneration or AMD. The macula is the area of the retina where images are focused and is responsible for fine vision. Macular degeneration interferes with retinal function, leaving only a margin of peripheral vision, effectively preventing enjoyable reading or fine work. Lutein is a yellow-orange carotenoid that may offer significant protection against macular degeneration. Lutein and zeaxanthin are protective carotenoids that absorb harmful blue light, especially from exposure to the sun. The macula, especially the central portion of the macula (the fovea) owes its yellow colour to its high concentration of lutein. Low levels of lutein may be a major risk factor for age-related macular degeneration. Cataracts are caused by solar damage to the lens proteins of the eyes. It has been found that when there is a high level of lutein in the macula, there is a reduced incidence of cataracts.
