Naturally occurring in marigolds, Lutein is a yellow pigment that belongs to the family of phytochemicals known as carotenoids. Lutein selectively accumulates in the macula of the eye, where it blocks the absorption of blue wavelengths of light — protecting delicate eye tissue against sunlight damage.*
Recently, Lutein has become somewhat of a commonly requested product available from countless raw material suppliers. However, not all Lutein is alike. The stability of Lutein is always in question because Lutein rapidly absorbs oxygen and degrades. Because it is fat-soluble, Lutein is also difficult to absorb. When unprotected, it can react with minerals in formulations, creating black specks on tablets.
