Lutein
Carotenoid concentrated in the macula of the eye. Filters blue light and protects against macular degeneration. Frequently combined with zeaxanthin.
💡 Absorption: Take with fat for absorption (fat-soluble). The AREDS2 formula (10mg lutein + 2mg zeaxanthin) is the most studied.
⚠️ Caution: Very safe. No established UL. May cause yellowish skin discoloration at very high doses (carotenodermia, harmless).
Recommended doses
Range: 6 – 40 mg
