Lutein has a variety of health benefits, including but not limited to the following.

For eye health
The macular pigment protects macular cells from the potentially harmful effects of high-energy blue light, and lutein has been shown to protect the eye by increasing the density of macular pigment. In addition, clinical studies have shown that the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties of lutein provide protection and alleviation of ocular diseases such as cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, myopia.

For brain health
Lutein, the main carotenoid found in the human brain, is concentrated in the lipid layer of brain cells and helps stabilize cell membranes and protects important fats from oxidative damage. Its anti-inflammatory properties enhance blood flow to the brain and improve communication between neurons. In addition, lutein has been found to increase Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), which plays an important role in neuronal growth, as well as promoting brain plasticity, which is essential for learning and memory.

For skin health
As an antioxidant, lutein helps neutralize free radicals in the skin and reduces inflammation. In addition, lutein helps to protect the skin by filtering out high-energy visible wavelengths of light ( ultraviolet), and increasing lutein intake may reduce the overall risk of skin cancer. In some studies, lutein may also improve skin elasticity, hydration, and skin tone, especially when used topically and orally.

For heart health
Lutein is also beneficial for heart health, as its powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties help protect arteries from damage and reduce the chances of heart disease.
