What is Lutein?
Lutein is a yellow-orange pigment belonging to the carotenoid family, found naturally in leafy green vegetables like spinach and kale, as well as egg yolks. In the body, it accumulates in the retina, particularly in the macula.
Why is it associated with eye wellness?
Lutein is one of the primary carotenoids found in the macula, the part of the retina responsible for central, detailed vision. Its concentration there has led to widespread use in vision-support formulas.
What does the research say?
Lutein has been studied for its association with macular health and visual function, with resources like WebMD's Lutein overview summarizing common use cases.

Safety considerations
Lutein is generally well tolerated as a dietary supplement. If you have a diagnosed eye condition or take medication, consult your doctor before starting any new supplement.
