Lutein: What it is and it's Benefits
What is Lutein and it's benefits? Well, as a carotenoid, Lutein is a pigment that is responsible for giving fruits and veggies their bright and deep colors.
It has recently been seen (no pun intended) as a vision and eye health supplement, often taken in combination with Zeaxanthin.
These two are commonly taken as a remedy for cataracts and macular weakness, and also provide a range of other eye related benefits.
Lutein Benefits
People generally consume lutein for cataracts because of its powerful antioxidant effects. Cataracts disease can cause vision loss from the growth of patches in and around the front of your eye.
This is caused by the oxidation of lens structures, a process that lutein can slow or even prevent. The antioxidant effects are amplified when lutein is combined with zeaxanthin. Lutein is also believed to have a few non-vision related benefits.
Since its naturally present in the brain, there are many studies being done on its potential of slowing down age-related cognitive decline and the likelihood of reversing damaged cognitive functions.
Side Effects
Because it is naturally found in large amounts in the body, a large scale study found almost ZERO side effects associated with either Lutein or Zeaxanthin supplements.
The only one they could figure was a slight yellowing of the skin in a few patients, however they could not connect that to anything harmful.
