FloraGLO® lutein, as contained in Lutein Royal, is the world's leading lutein. It is extracted from marigold petals using a patented manufacturing process. FloraGLO® lutein is ‘free’ lutein, meaning it is the biologically active molecule.
Lutein Royal from Vitality Nutritionals contains the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin. 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.*
Vitality Nutritionals formulations are free from impurities, articial flavourings and artificial sweeteners. Vegan or vegetarian ingredients are used where possible, and every product is non-GMO.
*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.
When it comes to your health, quality and safety are of the highest importance. Vitality Nutritionals has rigorous standards in place to ensure they work with only the most reputable suppliers.

Lutein is a natural plant pigment from the group of carotenoids. It is found in spinach, kale, broccoli, peppers, peas, nectarines, peaches and oranges, among other things. In Lutein Royal, the lutein comes from the petals of the marigold (Tagetes erecta) and is processed as patented FloraGLO® lutein.
Lutein is stored in the body primarily in the eye tissue, especially in the cornea, lens and macula. Carotenoids such as lutein are attributed with antioxidant properties – primarily on the basis of animal and in vitro studies. There are currently no official, EFSA-approved health claims for lutein; the studies are considered promising, but not yet conclusive. If you have any individual questions about the effect, we recommend talking to a doctor or ophthalmologist.
Whether a lutein supplement is beneficial for you personally depends on your diet and your individual needs. Those who eat few green leafy vegetables or peppers absorb correspondingly less lutein through their diet. One capsule of Lutein Royal provides a defined, constant daily amount (21 mg of lutein, 1 mg of zeaxanthin) regardless of your diet. A varied diet remains the basis in any case; dietary supplements are intended as a supplement, not as a replacement.
According to current knowledge, yes. FloraGLO® lutein has been used in dietary supplements since the mid-1990s, and no safety risks have been identified to date. The safety of lutein has been assessed by the JECFA (the Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives) and by the US FDA as part of a GRAS (Generally Recognised As Safe) assessment.
The JECFA has set a safe daily dose of up to 2 mg of lutein per kilogram of body weight – for a body weight of 70 kg, this corresponds to around 140 mg per day, which is significantly more than the recommended daily dose of Lutein Royal (21 mg). In the case of existing illnesses, taking medication, pregnancy or breastfeeding, the intake should be discussed with a doctor or pharmacist in advance.
According to current data, there are no known specific side effects when the recommended daily dose (1 capsule = 21 mg lutein, 1 mg zeaxanthin) is adhered to.
In the case of very high intakes of carotenoids over a longer period of time – well above the recommended intake – the specialist literature occasionally describes a harmless, reversible yellowing of the skin (carotenoderma), which subsides after the intake is reduced.
If you notice any unusual reactions, stop taking it and contact a doctor or pharmacist.
Lutein Royal contains "free" lutein (FloraGLO®), i.e., the form that can be directly utilised biologically. Cheaper lutein ester, on the other hand, must first be enzymatically converted into free lutein in the small intestine. The rate of this conversion depends on individual factors such as health, diet and age, and therefore cannot be reliably predicted. With Lutein Royal, this conversion step is omitted – the amount indicated on the label is directly available for absorption.
One capsule provides 21 mg of lutein and 1 mg of zeaxanthin. The recommended daily dose is 1 capsule, so a pack of 60 capsules is sufficient for 60 days.
Take 1 capsule daily with a glass of water and with a meal.
Since lutein is fat-soluble, it is better absorbed if the meal contains a small amount of fat – a fixed time (morning or evening) is not crucial; what is most important is that it is taken with food.
In principle, carotenoid supplements such as Lutein Royal can be combined with other nutrients.
If you are taking several supplements at the same time or are receiving medical treatment, discuss the combination with your doctor or pharmacist as a precaution, especially if interactions with medication cannot be ruled out.
Yes. Lutein Royal is free of animal ingredients, the capsule shell is made of plant-based hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and the product is suitable for vegetarians, vegans and diabetics.
No, according to the manufacturer, the product contains no allergens (including milk, egg, fish, crustaceans, nuts, soya, cereal ingredients) and is also GMO-free.
The safe upper limit defined by the JECFA is around 2 mg per kilogram of body weight per day (around 140 mg for 70 kg).
The recommended daily dose of Lutein Royal is 21 mg, which is significantly lower.
Do not take more than the recommended amount and keep the product out of the reach of children.
No. Dietary supplements such as Lutein Royal are intended to supplement a balanced diet – they are not a substitute for a balanced diet or for a medical diagnosis or treatment.
If you have vision problems or existing eye diseases, you should contact an ophthalmologist.
