1. The main pigment component of the retina. Human eyes contain high amounts of lutein, which is not made by the human body and must be supplemented by the intake of lutein. If this element is absent, the eye will be blind. 2. Protect the eyes from light damage, delay the aging of the eyes and prevent lesions. Ultraviolet light and blue light in the sun enter the eye and produce a lot of free radicals, leading to cataracts, macular degeneration, and even cancer. Ultraviolet light can generally be filtered by the cornea and lens, but blue light can penetrate the eyeball directly to the retina and the macula. The lutein in the macula can filter out the blue light and avoid the damage of the blue light to the eye. The outer layer of fat in the macula is particularly susceptible to oxidation by sunlight, so this area is highly susceptible to degradation. 3. Anti-oxidation, which helps prevent cardiovascular cirrhosis, coronary heart disease and tumor diseases caused by aging of the body; 4. Protecting vision: Lutein acts as an antioxidant and photoprotective agent to promote the regeneration of rhodopsin in retinal cells, prevent severe myopia and retinal detachment, and improve vision and protect vision. Especially suitable for students, drivers and other people to eat; 5. Relieve the symptoms of visual fatigue: (obscured vision, dry eyes, eye swelling, eye pain, photophobia, etc.); 6. Improve the pigment density of the macula, protect the macula, and promote the development of the macula; 7. prevention of macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa; 8. Reduce the production of drusen and prevent the occurrence of AMD. |
