Lutein for healthy eyes and beautiful skin

Science-Backed

Studies have shown that lutein is critical to eye health and vision maintenance. Lutein protects the macula, is good for the eyesight and supports the aging eye.

Lutein also promotes beauty from the inside by increasing the elasticity of the skin and increasing its moisture content.

Research shows, that lutein - in conjunction with zeaxanthin - reduces the intensity of blue light by as much as 90% in the retina, which could significantly reduce oxidative damage.

What is Lutein?

Lutein is a carotenoid that is naturally found in fruits and green leafy vegetables such as Spinach, broccoli, corn and egg yolk occur. Since our body cannot produce lutein itself, we have to take it in with food.

Lutein acts as an antioxidant and reduces the damaging effects of free radicals on our body cells and organs.

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.

With lutein deficiency, the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD) or clouding of the lenses (cataracts) increases. Studies have also observed that lutein improves the visual function of people who already have AMD.

Lutein is not only important for the eyes. Research shows that Lutein Royal also has many skin benefits due to its antioxidant properties.

Lutein maintains young skin

Ultraviolet light, air pollution and other factors can damage our skin. Light has the ability to penetrate into the lower layers of the skin through its short-wave UVB rays and long-wave UVA rays.

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.

A clinical study presented at the 'Beyond Beauty Paris' conference in France clearly shows that lutein makes the skin more elastic and beautiful.

Pierfrancesco Morganti, professor at the University of Naples in Applied Cosmetic Dermatology, documented that lutein and its related molecule zeaxanthin in a daily dose of 10 mg lutein increase skin moisture by 38%, skin elasticity by 8% and the natural fat content of the skin associated with the Age decreases, increased by 33%. At the same time, the oxidation (rancidity) of these important fatty acids, which are so important for the beauty of the skin, decreased by 55%.

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). [1] 

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.
