What is Lutein?
Lutein is a carotenoid pigment found naturally in leafy green vegetables and egg yolks. In the eye, it accumulates in the retina, particularly the macula.
Why is it associated with eye wellness?
As one of the primary pigments found in the macula, lutein is commonly discussed in the context of maintaining healthy visual function and supporting the eye's natural filtering of high-energy light.
What does the research say?
General background on lutein and other dietary supplements is available via the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements.
