Lutein

Lutein, also known as 2,3-di(tetradecanoyloxy)propyltetradecanoate, is a carotenoid belonging to the xanthophyll group. This organic compound is an important phytochemical found in many fruits and vegetables, especially in the rod cells of the retina of the human eye. Its main function is to protect the retina from damage caused by blue light and free radicals. Lutein is also involved in the proper functioning of the immune system, as some research shows.

Lutein is a component of many products on the market, especially dietary supplements designed to support eye health. It is also commonly present in multivitamin supplements or specific products to improve eyesight, such as 'eye health' supplements. Consuming foods that are rich in lutein, such as kale, spinach, broccoli, corn or kiwifruit, provides the body with a natural source of this carotenoid. Yet many individuals prefer dietary supplements that contain higher concentrations of lutein and are considered an easier way to ensure adequate intake of this substance. Lutein is also used in cosmetic products, such as creams or serums, because of its antioxidant properties that can protect the skin from sun damage and aging.
