Botanical information:
Lutein belongs to a group of chemicals known as carotenoids, which are the fat-soluble pigments (coloring agents) that give plants their distinctive red, orange, or yellow colors. Carotenoids are micronutrients chemicals that the human body needs, but they cannot be made. Micronutrients have to be obtained from foods or supplements. Some study results seem to show that the body absorbs lutein and other carotenoids about equally well from either foods or supplements. In human body, carotenoids act as antioxidants, they are thought to protect body cells from damage caused by oxygen free radicals. Produced by a chemical process called oxidation, oxygen free radicals may contribute to the development of cancer, heart disease, retinal ***erioration, and also conditions such as Alzheimer disease. Recent study evidence suggests that the body supplies of antioxidants such as lutein are severely reduced by inflammation, one of the processes that produce oxygen free radicals. Lutein can be used for dietary supplements, personal care products, food, and beverages.
Lutein is found in foods such as broccoli, corn, egg yolks, grapes, oranges, and spinach. For use in medicine, lutein currently is obtained mainly from yellow and orange marigold petals.
Standard extract effect and application:
In general, individuals who consume large quantities of the vegetables and fruits that contain lutein are less likely to develop age-related macular degeneration (AMD) than individuals with a lutein-poor diet. AMD is caused by the ***erioration of the retina central section, which may result in partial or total vision loss may. Lutein is one of the two most common pigments (coloring agents) in the retina. (The second one is zeaxanthin, also contained in fruits and vegetables.) Both these pigments, but especially lutein, are believed to block out blue light and to protect retinal tissue from being damaged by bright light. In older individuals, the layer of yellow pigment in the retina tends to become |
