Introduction to Lutein: A Powerful Natural Antioxidant
Lutein, a naturally occurring substance belonging to the carotenoid family, is abundant in vegetables, flowers, and fruits. While nature boasts over 600 carotenoids, only around 20 are present in human blood and tissues, including key compounds like α-carotene, β-carotene, cryptoxanthin, lycopene, and lutein itself.
Medical research highlights the exceptional antioxidant properties of plant-derived natural lutein. Its ability to combat oxidative stress makes it a valuable ingredient for promoting overall health and well-being.
Adding lutein to food and supplements can help prevent cell and organ aging, potentially mitigating age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and related vision loss. Studies suggest carotenoids may also function as cancer preventive agents, life-prolonging agents, ulcer relief agents, and heart health promoters.
Furthermore, lutein is used as a feed additive to enhance the color of poultry meat and eggs. In the food industry, it serves as a natural coloring agent and a valuable nutritional supplement, enhancing many products..
