Lutein
-
Lutein, also known as "phytolutein", CO exists with zeaxanthin in nature. Lutein and zeaxanthin are the main components of plant pigments such as corn, vegetables, fruits, flowers and so on. They are also the main pigments in the macular region of human eyes. In nature, lutein is the highest in dark green leafy vegetables such as cabbage, kale, spinach, and flowers such as marigold and marigold. Human eyes contain high amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin, but these two elements cannot be produced by the human body. They must be supplemented by foods containing lutein and zeaxanthin. If these two elements are lacking, the eyes will lose sight.
