Carotenoids are a group of over 600 compounds known as the carotenoid   pigments. These pigments give yellow, green or orange coloration to vegetables   and fruits and are precursors for vitamin A or retinol, an essential chromophore   in all known visual systems. Lutein is naturally found in egg yolk and several   plants including collard greens, kale, leeks, peas, romaine lettuce and spinach.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLutein\u003c\/strong\u003e is a yellow carotenoid pigment produced by plants and   found in our eyes in the central area of the retina, called macula. The macula   is a small, concentrated collection of photosensitive cells in the middle of   the retina, directly behind the lens, that is responsible for central vision.   In front of the photoreceptor is the neural retina. The neural retina is a network   of various nerve and other cells that carry visual signals laterally to the   optic nerve. A special antioxidant pigment accumulates within the neural retina   directly over the central macular region. This antioxidant is observed as a   yellow spot called the macula lutea. This yellow pigment is derived from the   diet in foods that are rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, a non-vitamin A carotenoid   pigment that is a “cousin” to beta-carotene. While vitamin A, beta-carotene   and lycopene are also members of the carotenoid family, researchers have found   that lutein is the carotenoid found most abundantly in the eye. Recent evidence   suggests lutein\/zeaxanthin acts similarly to yellow \"blue-blocking\"   sunglass filters, protecting receptors from bleaching by sunlight and oxidative   damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDietary lutein\u003c\/strong\u003e is considered an essential micronutrient for   normal vision. Lutein acts as a filter to protect the light-sensitive photoreceptor   cells (cone cells) in macula from potentially damaging forms of light and light-originated   free radical damages. Lutein protects the optic nerve and may help deter the   development of age-related eye disorders such as macular degeneration, a leading   cause of blindness in older people. Macular degeneration is the breakdown of   these light-sensing cells, eventually resulting in the loss of sight in the   central part of the field of vision. This breakdown of light-sensing cells is   due to a process called oxidation. The oxidants responsible for this are present   in all of us, produced by normal metabolic processes. These oxidants are kept   under control by antioxidants that prevent the oxidation of the macular cells.   Unfortunately, as we grow older, this protective process becomes less effective.   Studies show that people who eat more lutein-containing foods or take lutein   rich supplements appear to be less likely to develop macular degeneration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCataracts \u003c\/strong\u003eare the leading cause of vision impairment and a   leading cause of blindness worldwide. They can only be treated by surgically   replacing the lens and cataract surgery is one of the most commonly performed   procedures in the U.S. Recently, the correlation between dietary intake of lutein   and zeaxanthin and the risk of cataracts have been studied. In fact, three recent   epidemiological studies have reported a definite correlation between higher   intake of lutein and zeaxanthin and a reduced risk of cataracts. Lutein and   zeaxanthin are the only carotenoids found in the lens, but at much lower concentrations   than in the macula.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe levels of these nutrients found in foods and in typical multivitamins are   not sufficient to significantly impact the progression of eye-related disease   making supplementation an easy way to obtain the necessary levels of these nutrients   to optimize and support eye health.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOlympian Labs’ Lutein \u003c\/strong\u003eis a 100% pure, vegetarian formulation   containing no animal bi-products and is available in easy-to-swallow, kosher-certified   capsules.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eDETAILS\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Description:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60 Capsules\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 Capsule\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Servings:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eFACTS\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003ctable width=\"100%\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"4\" border=\"0\"\u003e  \u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e     \u003ctd\u003e \u003cspan class=\"sfServings\"\u003eServing Size:\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e 1 Capsule\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e      Servings per Container:\u003cstrong\u003e 60\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e     \u003ctd bgcolor=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"\/images\/clear.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"2\" border=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ctable width=\"100%\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"4\" border=\"0\" class=\"sfColumnTitles\"\u003e  \u003ctbody\u003e\u003ctr\u003e     \u003ctd width=\"225\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIngredients:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e    \u003ctd width=\"93\" align=\"right\"\u003eAmount Per Serving\u003c\/td\u003e    \u003ctd width=\"80\" align=\"right\"\u003e% Daily Value*\u003c\/td\u003e  \u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ctable width=\"100%\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"4\" border=\"0\" class=\"sfColumns\"\u003e  \u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e     \u003ctd colspan=\"3\" bgcolor=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"\/images\/clear.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"2\" border=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e  \u003c\/tr\u003e  \u003ctr\u003e     \u003ctd valign=\"top\" width=\"227\"\u003e Grape Skin Extract\u003c\/td\u003e    \u003ctd valign=\"top\" align=\"right\" width=\"92\"\u003e 100 mg \u003c\/td\u003e    \u003ctd valign=\"top\" align=\"right\" width=\"79\"\u003e ** \u003c\/td\u003e  \u003c\/tr\u003e  \u003ctr\u003e     \u003ctd colspan=\"3\" bgcolor=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"\/images\/clear.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e  \u003c\/tr\u003e  \u003ctr\u003e     \u003ctd valign=\"top\" width=\"227\"\u003e Lutein Zeaxanthin\u003c\/td\u003e    \u003ctd valign=\"top\" align=\"right\" width=\"92\"\u003e 20 mg \u003c\/td\u003e    \u003ctd valign=\"top\" align=\"right\" width=\"79\"\u003e ** \u003c\/td\u003e  \u003c\/tr\u003e  \u003ctr\u003e     \u003ctd height=\"3\" colspan=\"3\" bgcolor=\"#000000\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"\/images\/clear.gif\" width=\"1\" height=\"2\" border=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e  \u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ctable width=\"100%\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"4\" border=\"0\" class=\"sfFooter\"\u003e  \u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e     \u003ctd width=\"460\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e * Percent Daily Values are based on a 2,000 calorie diet.
