Want to buy Lutein?

Lutein is an important antioxidant that is mainly found in plants, vegetables and fruit. The substance belongs to the carotenoids (a group of natural pigments) and is found in broccoli, spinach, kale, corn, orange pepper, kiwis, grapes, orange juice, zucchini, pumpkin and carrots. Egg yolks are also a source of lutein.

Lutein esters for supplements are mainly extracted from marigold. Marigold (Calendula Officinalis) is the raw material for the well-known calendula ointment. However, it is less well known that marigold contains a number of other phytochemicals (important components of plants). For example, marigold extract contains a large part of lutein (20%) and a small part of zeaxanthin (1%). In addition to lutein and zeaxanthin, the extract also contains saponins, flavonoids and triterpenes.

Lutein and zeaxanthin

Lutein and zeaxanthin are bioactive substances with an antioxidant effect. Lutein is a yellow pigment (Luteus is Latin for yellow) that occurs in green vegetables. Zeaxanthin is an orange pigment that occurs in green plants, leaves and in certain fruits.

Lutein is often found in combination with zeaxanthin. They are very similar in structure, with only a slight difference in the arrangement of their atoms. Lutein and zeaxanthin are both powerful antioxidants that protect the body from unstable molecules known as free radicals. The carotenoids work together and can fight free radicals more effectively when combined.

Too many free radicals can damage cells in the body and cause so-called oxidative stress. Lutein and zeaxanthin support the protection of the body's proteins, fats and DNA from oxidative damage. In addition, they can help recycle glutathione, another important antioxidant in the body.
