Lutein 20 mg produced by the company is also used to prevent cataracts among the elderly.

Lutein is one of the strongest antioxidants in nature, which the human body is unable to produce and should be continuously replaced in the body through the diet every day. 

A healthy lutein layer shields the macula from damaging UV light and can improve our ability to react to bright flashes of light and see more clearly in low-light conditions.

It also improves reaction time – critical to driving at night or enjoying outdoor activities.

Lutein is stored in the retina and protects the optic nerves in the macula.

The macula is part of the retina that is responsible for direct and clear vision such as reading and driving.

The lutein present in the macula prevents damage to the macula by filtering UV light.

As the cells of the macula age, they lose their ability to regenerate, just like other cells in the body.

So, if they are exposed to damage, it will not be possible to repair it and eventually it will cause blindness.
