- Benefits
Lutein is xanthophylls, a naturally-occurring carotenoid that is abundant in fruits and vegetables (especially dark, leafy green ones) and egg yolks, and it is highly concentrated in the macula of the eye, with smaller amounts found in the retina, lens, and optic nerve. This powerful carotenoid also helps ward off vision loss—and more specifically helps to prevent macular degeneration—by increasing the thickness of the macula.
