Overview of Lutein

Lutein is a naturally occurring carotenoid and antioxidant widely used in dietary supplements, nutraceuticals, and functional foods. It supports eye health, vision protection, and reduces oxidative stress in the retina. Known for its ability to filter harmful blue light and accumulate in the macula, Lutein helps maintain healthy vision and protects against age-related eye conditions.

Its CAS number is 127-40-2, and it is typically supplied as a yellow-orange powder or in softgel formulations. Lutein is often combined with other antioxidants and carotenoids such as Zeaxanthin, Beta-Carotene, Astaxanthin, Vitamin E, and Vitamin C to enhance its protective effects and bioavailability.
