Description
Pure Encapsulations Lutein 20 mg
Supports Ocular Health
Antioxidant and light filtering protection for healthy visual function. Lutein is a carotenoid found in a vast number of fruits and vegetables. Like other carotenoids, lutein has antioxidant activity in various tissues, but is one of only two that are stored within the retina, where lutein promotes the integrity and density of the macular pigment, a key component of ocular health.
Key Benefits and Features:
- Ages 18 and up
- Ocular health support
- Antioxidant support for healthy visual function
- Promotes macular pigment integrity and density
- Enhances light-screening mechanisms
- Contains free-form lutein, structurally identical to the lutein found naturally in spinach and other leafy greens
- Made with high-quality ingredients backed by verifiable science

More Info.
Multiple clinical studies suggest a direct relationship between lutein supplementation and macula lutein concentration. Lutein uptake reportedly occurs in the receptor layer of the eye through a soluble carotenoid-binding protein called tubulin. Clinical trials have indicated that lutein specifically supports vision health through a combination of pigment-associated antioxidant protection and light-screening mechanisms. Furthermore, a two-year, double-blind, placebo-controlled pilot study reported that lutein may support healthy visual function in older individuals more efficiently than alpha tocopherol.
