Lutein, 30 softgels

DESCRIPTION Lutein, a yellow pigment carotenoid is found mainly in the macula of the eye, where it is strongly implicated in maintaining eye health. The macula is a spot in the back of the retina which is responsible for sharpness of vision.  People with high intakes of the carotenoid lutein have been reported to be at a low risk for cataracts. Lutein and zeaxanthin are antioxidants that protect the retina from damage caused by sunlight. Lutein has been shown to help people with both early and advanced stages of the disease.   INGREDIENTS  Serving Size: 1 Softgel Capsule Servings per Container: 30 Ingredient Amount Per Serving %DV Lutein 20 mg * Zeaxanthin Isomers 4 mg Other Ingredients: safflower oil, bone gelatin (bovine), sunflower oil, glycerin, purified water, yellow beeswax, sunflower lecithin.     DIRECTIONS Directions: Take one softgel daily, preferably with a meal, as directed by your healthcare practitioner.
