How Lutein Supports Vision and overall Wellness
Lutein, a carotenoid pigment found in various fruits and vegetables, holds significant importance in both the food and health industries. Known for its vibrant yellow-orange color, lutein plays a crucial role in promoting eye health by filtering harmful blue light and protecting against oxidative damage in the retina. As such, lutein is often incorporated into dietary supplements aimed at supporting vision and preventing age-related macular degeneration. In the food industry, lutein serves as a natural colorant and nutritional additive, enhancing the visual appeal of products while offering potential health benefits. It is commonly found in foods such as spinach, kale, corn, and egg yolks. Additionally, lutein-fortified foods and beverages, such as juices and cereals, cater to consumers seeking to boost their lutein intake for optimal eye health. The lutein source used by VitaloLifeScience is derived from Marigold flowers, ensuring high-quality and bioavailability.
