Lutein - the "eye molecule"
Lutein is a yellow-orange pigment from the carotenoid family that occurs in certain foods and plants. It is not produced in the body but is obtained exclusively through the diet. Lutein is often referred to as the "eye molecule" because it forms a major component of the retina. Furthermore, its natural composition protects the eye from harmful light and thus reduces the risk of eye problems. This natural pigment also plays a role in the production of melanin, which prepares the skin for sun exposure when the sun rises.

What are the sources of lutein?
Lutein is found in colourful foods such as fruits and vegetables, especially in leafy greens, which often have an orange or yellow colouring. The following foods are particularly rich in lutein:
- Parsley
- Spinach
- Cabbage
- Leek
- Hazelnuts
- Maize
Benefits of lutein
Lutein is one of the most important pigments found in the macula, the central area of the retina of the eye. The macula lutea is a yellowish spot next to the optic nerve, at the centre of which lies the fovea centralis, responsible for the sharpest vision. Therefore, lutein can help to support eye health and may have an effect on age-related changes in the macula.
Dosage of lutein
The recommended dosage of lutein in dietary supplements, depending on individual needs, is between 6 and a maximum of 20 mg per day.
