What is Lutein?
Lutein, a member of the carotenoid family, is a powerful antioxidant. It is widely found in green vegetables and yellow fruits in nature, such as spinach, broccoli, corn and egg yolks. As a nutrient that the human body cannot synthesize on its own, lutein must be ingested through daily diet or specific supplements. Its unique molecular structure enables it to effectively neutralize free radicals and protect cells from oxidative damage, especially in maintaining eye health. It has a unique yellow hue and can be used as a natural colorant and as a food additive in the food field.
