3. Indications and Uses
Lutein can lower the risk of age related vision loss, which causes gradual loss of central vision. Age related vision loss or age related
macular degeneration (AMD) is caused by steady damage of the retina.

Lutein is concentrated in the central part of the retina, called the macula. In the macula are yellow pigments (macular pigments
composed of zeaxanthin and lutein) which protect the retina from damage of the photo-oxidative affect of blue light.
Lutein can also reduce the risk for artery diseases. Studies have shown that persons with the highest lutein intake showed the
lowest artery wall thickening.
Lutein also reduces the oxidation of LDL cholesterol thereby reducing the risk of artery clogging.
Lutein can also reduce the risk of skin cancer and sunburn. Under influence of sunlight.
