Product details
Lutein 12™ is a high potency source of lutein — a powerful, protective carotenoid that is essential for healthy vision. Diets rich in lutein have long been associated with superior eye health, as well as brain health. Lutein is most highly concentrated in the retina and macula of the eye where its unique structure allows it to protect these delicate tissues from high-energy radiation.
Lutein, along with zeaxanthin, are so highly concentrated in the retina and macula that they provide both its color and its name — the macula lutea or yellow spot. Lutein and zeaxanthin are referred to as optical pigments, since they play an essential structural and functional role in the eye promoting visual acuity (sharpness of vision), optical filtering of high-energy radiation, as well as visual processing speed.
It's at the top of any list of ingredients that protect our eyes from a lifetime of normal age-related changes. Substantial research has also shown that lutein is associated with superior cognitive function, memory and verbal fluency as we age.
Unfortunately, the body cannot produce lutein and the American diet provides very little, which makes supplementation the only viable option to provide our eyes and brain adequate amounts of this essential nutrient.

Key benefits
Supports Macular Health
Lutein and Zeaxanthin are so concentrated in the center of the retina that they give it both its color and its name: the macula lutea, or “yellow spot.” There, they form the macular pigment, which helps filter blue light and acts as an antioxidant, supporting the eye’s most delicate tissues and healthy vision. Each softgel capsule provides 12 mg (12,000 mcg) of Lutein and 600 mcg Zeaxanthin.
Supports Visual Performance
Research suggests that maintaining healthy macular pigment levels supports aspects of visual performance, including contrast sensitivity, recovery from glare and how quickly you process what you see.
Supports Healthy Cognitive Function
Lutein also reaches the brain, where it’s the most abundant carotenoid. Research has linked healthy Lutein levels to cognitive function, memory and verbal fluency in older adults.
Suggested use
Consume one capsule daily. You can increase your intake as required or as guided by your physician.

Frequently asked questions
What is Lutein?
Lutein is a carotenoid, part of the family of natural yellow and orange pigments found in plants. Your body can’t make it, so it must come from foods like leafy greens, egg yolks, and corn, or from supplements, which are often extracted from marigold flowers. In the body, it concentrates in the retina and macula, and it’s also found in the brain and skin.
Can I get enough Lutein from food?
Leafy greens like kale and spinach are excellent sources, but most American diets provide only about 1 to 2 mg of lutein a day, well below the amounts used in eye research. Lutein 12™ offers a convenient, consistent daily source.
Should I take Lutein 12 with food?
Yes. Lutein is fat-soluble, so it’s best absorbed with a meal that contains some fat.
