Lutein capsules with FloraGLO®: antioxidant support for the eyes*

Science-Backed

*Health claims regarding plant substances such as lutein and zeaxanthin have not yet been conclusively evaluated. However, based on the available studies, the efficacy described here can be sufficiently proven.

Carotenoids as antioxidants

Lutein is a plant pigment found in foods such as spinach, kale, broccoli, peppers, peas, nectarines, peaches and oranges. Lutein belongs to the carotenoid family.

Based primarily on animal and in vitro studies, carotenoids are believed to have antioxidant, immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties; in humans, they are associated with a reduced risk of various diseases. [2] 

Zeaxanthin is also a plant pigment and belongs to the carotenoids. It is found in peppers, parsley, kale, savoy cabbage and spinach, for example. Like lutein, zeaxanthin is also attributed with antioxidant, immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties. [2] 

Lutein capsules for healthy eyes

A large part of the ingested lutein is stored in the eye tissue, especially in the cornea, the macula and in the lenses.

Research shows that a high lutein content can protect the eyes from the damaging UV rays of sunlight. It acts like a filter against short-wave blue light and increases the pigment density of the macula, which is the point of sharpest vision on the retina.

Lutein maintains young skin

If the skin's natural antioxidant defense is not intact, the free radicals can cause great damage and lead to premature skin aging. Lutein molecules are naturally embedded in the entire skin and have the task of counteracting the formation of free radicals.

Lutein Royal with FloraGLO® 

Scientific research confirms that FloraGLO® Lutein can protect the eyes from blue light, a component of visible light. Its importance for eye health was highlighted in a landmark study, the Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2 (AREDS2). [3] 

FloraGLO® Lutein is derived from marigold flowers and offers an absorbable form of lutein, similar to what's found in everyday foods like kale, spinach, corn, and peppers. 

Is Lutein Royal Safe?

Yes. Lutein Royal has been used in many vitamins and nutritional supplements since the mid-1990s, with no negative indications regarding its safety.

Lutein has been assessed by the JECFA (FAO/WHO Joint Committee on Food Additives), an independent, international body recognized around the world for controlling the safety of food additives. The JECFA set a maximum daily dose of 2 mg lutein per kilogram, which corresponds to around 140 mg lutein per day for a person weighing 70 kg.

Lutein Royal's safety was also assessed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which found that Lutein Royal is safe for a variety of uses in conventional and medical foods.

With an expert panel from the field of food safety, the FDA carried out its own assessment of the GRAS findings (Generally Recognized As Safe), based on data from the areas of toxicology, genotoxicity and human safety.

When is the best time to take lutein capsules?

The best time to take Lutein Royal capsules is during a meal. Lutein is fat-soluble and is therefore better absorbed if it is taken with a small amount of fat.
