Jarrow Formulas Lutein, 20mg
Jarrow Formulas Lutein, 20mg is a softgel food supplement that supplies lutein, a yellow carotenoid that occurs in nature together with zeaxanthin. The lutein is extracted from marigold petals and supplied in the free form.
Key features
- 20 mg lutein (net yield) in each softgel
- Free lutein, the form present in the macula of the eye
- Extracted from marigold petals
- Lutein is a carotenoid closely related to zeaxanthin
- Softgels in two sizes
In the body, lutein and zeaxanthin gather in the macula and lens of the eye, and also in the brain and skin. In the diet they come mainly from dark green leafy vegetables. Average American intake is said to be only about 2 mg a day, while some population groups eat as much as 20 to 25 mg a day, so a 20 mg softgel sits at the upper end of food intake.
Available in 60 softgels and 120 softgels.
