Lutein is an antioxidant that affects the pigmentation of the macula of the retina. This area is responsible for the clarity and quality of our vision. Vision directly depends on the density of the macula, which acts as a natural light filter that protects the eye from damage. The density of the macula, in turn, depends on the plant pigments that form it—carotenoids, which, unfortunately, are not synthesized in the human body. Accumulating in the macula, lutein acts as a protective barrier that weakens the effect of solar radiation and the blue part of the spectrum.
Lutein is a powerful antioxidant that neutralizes free radicals, preventing retinal damage and lens clouding. A lack of lutein increases the risk of developing other eye diseases, such as cataracts, glaucoma, and diabetic angiopathy. Light sensitivity increases, visual acuity decreases, and gradual loss of visual fields appears. The functional activity of the eyes and their resistance to adverse factors and prolonged visual strain decreases. Twilight vision also worsens, leading to the so-called night blindness.
Additional intake of Lutein NOW is primarily necessary for those who work at a computer. The destructive ultraviolet radiation from the monitor, combined with intense eye work, causes computer vision syndrome (CVS). The main signs of this condition are eye soreness, tearing, rapid fatigue, headache, and reduced performance.
The use of Lutein NOW is also recommended for completely healthy people engaged in skiing, windsurfing, and mountaineering, since snow and water surfaces almost completely reflect the same ultraviolet rays. There are other risk factors as well. For example, the lutein content in the macula is lower in women, in people with light-colored eyes, and in smokers.
A person should receive 5 mg of lutein daily. This amount is contained in approximately 1 kg of carrots or 0.5 kg of sweet peppers. For those who are not ready to eat that much, many products and dietary supplements containing lutein have been created.
A distinctive feature of this product compared to other analogues is the high concentration of lutein in each capsule, which allows for a rapid and noticeable improvement in vision.
