Natural Factors Lutein 40mg, Natural Antioxidant to Support Eye Health,60 Gels Features : Lutein and companion carotenoid zeaxanthin work in synergy to provide nutritional support to our eyes and skin, the only organs of the body directly exposed to the outside environment. Natural Factors uses LuteinRich, a naturally-sourced lutein and zeaxanthin derived from marigold petals. LuteinRich is non-irradiated and non-GMO. Because Natural Factors Farms are certified organic, we don't pollute the earth with pesticides and chemical fertilizers. We grow true species non-hybridized, non-GMO seeds, including many open-pollinated varieties. Growing locally also helps reduce the carbon emissions from overseas transportation, and keep jobs in the community. Of all the senses, vision may be the most important for participating in our visually oriented world. But some people experience deteriorating vision as they age, with accompanying loss of independence and reduced quality of life. Specific antioxidants can help prevent and even reverse this loss of eyesight. Lutein is a yellow-orange carotene that research has shown to offer powerful support to help the body protect the eyes, lungs, and arteries from free radical damage. Lutein and a related carotene Zeaxanthin are found concentrated in the eyes (particularly in the macula and the lens) where they help to absorb damaging blue light, quench singlet oxygen, and inhibit lipid peroxidation. Natural Factors Lutein provides 40 mg of natural Lutein in a highly absorbable form derived from FloraGlo Lutein (derived from marigold flowers) and is purified according to a patented process.
