Indication of  Marigold Extract Lutein

Lutein is a kind of mixed carotenoid, a natural colorant and antioxidant with stable, safe and reliable effect.

A, Promoting the health of skin through reducing the risk of macular degeneration, and supporting normal eye function and protecting retina from blocking harmful ultraviolet.

B, Eliminating radicals, protecting human body from harm, improve immunity.

C, Preventing cardiopathy and cancer.

D,Resisting arteriosclerosis.

Function of Marigold Extract Lutein

1. A major component of retinal pigment: lutein and zeaxanthin constitutes a major component of vegetables, fruits, flowers and other plant pigments, as well as the human eye macular area main pigment. The human eye contains high levels of lutein, this element can not be manufactured by the body and must be supplemented by the intake of lutein, if the lack of such elements, the eyes will be blind;

2. protect the eyes from light damage, slow aging and prevent diseases of the eye: the sun's ultraviolet radiation and blue light entering the eye will produce a lot of free radicals, leading to cataracts, macular degeneration, and even cancer. General cornea and lens UV filter can, but they can penetrate the eye directly to Blu-ray and macular retina, macular lutein is able to filter out blue light, blue light to avoid damage to the eyes. Fat outer macular are particularly vulnerable to oxidative damage of sunlight, so this area prone to degradation;

3. antioxidant, helps prevent aging body caused by cardiovascular sclerosis, coronary heart disease and cancer.

4. protect vision: Lutein as antioxidants and light protection, promotes retinal cells rhodopsin (Rhodopsin) re-generated, can prevent severe myopia and retinal detachment, and can improve vision, protect eyesight. Especially for students, drivers, and human consumption;

5. relieve visual fatigue symptoms: (blurred vision, dry eyes, eye swelling, eye pain, photophobia, etc.

6. raise macular pigment density, protecting the macula, macular promote development;

7. prevent macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa;

8. to reduce the generation of drusen, prevent the occurrence of AMD.

Application of Marigold Extract Lutein

1. Lutein is one of basis in lens and retina of the eye, can prevent Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), and improve eyesight.

2. Lutein can prevent blindness resulted from AMD. In 1996, USA suggested that aged people of 60-65 should reinforce Lutein 6 mg per day.

3. Lutein is helpful for protecting cells against the damaging effects of free radicals and/or as a filter in light sensitive tissues such as the eye macula, lens and retina that protect eyes against UV radiation from light and computer.

4. Lutein alleviates Age Pigment Degeneration in human body and anti-lipid peroxidation by antioxidation.

5. Lutein adjusts blood-fat, prevent low density lipoprotein against antioxidation, and thereby alleviate cardiopathy.
