in fruits and vegetables (especially dark leafy greens) and egg
yolks. Lutein is a member of the carotenoid family. It is an
antioxidant that can help protect healthy cells from free
radical damage.* Lutein is found naturally in the body,
concentrated in the macula of the eyes. The macula, located in
the center of the retina, is responsible for producing the sharp
central vision required to see fine detail (for reading, sewing,
etc.). Lutein helps protect the macula by scavenging free
radicals and filtering out potentially dangerous, high-energy
blue light and ultraviolet radiation.* The body cannot make
lutein on its own; it must be consumed through diet or
supplements. Studies recommend obtaining 6 mg to 20 mg of lutein
daily for eye health and antioxidant protection.* How does
