Lutein

Lutein is a xanthophyll (a natural substance chemically belonging to the carotenoid family) extracted from the inflorescences of Tagetes Erecta.

Lutein is known for its antioxidant and protective properties on sight. This substance is concentrated in the macula, that is, in the central area of the retina of the eye, where it absorbs the natural blue light, protecting it from harmful UV rays. The antioxidant properties of lutein also allow its use in the anti-aging field, slowing down the structural and functional aging of numerous organs and tissues.
