DESCRIPTION:
Lutein is a pigment from the carotenoid family which is found in our body especially in our retinas.It has antioxidant properties (combats free radicals to prevent cell ageing) especially in the retina thus helping to prevent cataracts and macular degeneration (age-related deterioration of a certain part of the retina). It also filters out blue light, which prevents damage to the photoreceptors in your eyes.
Another benefit of lutein is protecting your epidermis from UV rays and it makes the skin more supple and better moisturised.
Lutein can be found in a lot of different vegetables such as cabbage, spinach, broccoli, avocado and corn.
