Lutein

Product Details

Lutein is a kind of natural substance widely existing in vegetables, flowers, fruits and other plants. It belongs to the “carotenoid” group. Medical experiments have proved that natural lutein contained in plants is an antioxidant with excellent performance. Adding a certain amount of lutein to food can prevent cell aging and organ aging, and can also prevent vision loss and blindness caused by senile macular degeneration of eyeball and retina. Through a series of medical studies, carotenoids have been suggested to be used as cancer prevention agents and life prolonging agents, At the same time, lutein can also be used as feed additive for coloring poultry meat and eggs in the food industry.

Lutein is non-toxic, safe and has excellent physiological effects. It is in line with the development direction of “natural”, “nutrition” and “multi-function” of food additives. Together with other beneficial and complementary nutritional elements, lutein can play an effective role in food nutrition and health care. With the improvement of extraction technology and food industrialization level, lutein will have a broader and broader prospect in the field of health food.

Health Benefits

• Protect eyesight:

  The main physiological function of lutein on the eyes is as an antioxidant and light protection. The optic nerve is non renewable and is very vulnerable to harmful free radicals. The antioxidant effect of lutein can inhibit the formation of harmful free radicals. Lutein can absorb a large amount of blue light. The wavelength of blue visible light is close to that of ultraviolet light, which is the most potentially harmful light in the visible light of the retina.

• Antioxidant effect:

  Lutein has a strong antioxidant effect, which can inhibit the activity of reactive oxygen free radicals and prevent the damage of reactive oxygen free radicals to normal cells. Lutein can inactivate singlet oxygen through physical or chemical quenching, So as to protect the body from injury and enhance the immune ability of the body.

• Delaying arteriosclerosis:

  Recent studies have shown that lutein can delay the process of early atherosclerosis. It is mainly the relationship between the change of arterial intimal thickness and the content of lutein in the blood. The low content of lutein in the blood is very easy to cause the thickening of arterial wall. With the gradual increase of lutein content, the thickening trend of arterial wall decreases, and the arterial embolism also decreases significantly.

• Effect on retinitis pigmentosa (RP):

  Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a chronic, progressive, hereditary and dystrophic retinopathy. In the early stage of RP, there is only the symptom of night blindness, which does not affect work at all. Lutein supplementation can increase the density of retinal pigment, improve the vision of RP patients and improve the treatment rate of RP.

• Diabetes retinopathy:

  Lutein and zeaxanthin can significantly improve vascular resistance, restore the balance of osmotic pressure inside and outside the blood vessels, reduce vascular permeability, inhibit material leakage in the blood vessels, ensure the integrity of blood vessels in the eyes and provide sufficient blood supply to the eyes. It can prevent damage caused by free radical and collagen binding, strengthen the retinal collagen structure, and improve the treatment rate of various retinal diseases, such as diabetes retinopathy, retinitis pigmentosa, hemorrhagic and hypertensive retinopathy, and macular degeneration.
