Lutein Extract is an excellent antioxidant, which can resist the damage of cells and organs caused by oxygen free radicals in the human body, and prevent cardiovascular sclerosis and coronary heart disease caused by aging. The most important thing is that Lutein Extract is the only carotenoid component that can exist in the eye lens, and it is the main pigment and antioxidant component of the macula of the retina. Many eye diseases are closely related to the lack of lutein, which can be seen that lutein plays an important role in protecting the eyes.

According to the National Health Interview Survey, between 1987 and 1992, the consumption of lutein in the entire population studied decreased by 16 percent among adults aged 40 to 69. The fact that lutein is thought to be abundant in green vegetables or vegetable leaves indicates that they are not getting adequate amounts of lutein-containing crops during this period. According to the study, the most abundant lutein-containing food is kiwi fruit, followed by yellow corn and egg yolks. Since lutein cannot be synthesized in the body, it must be taken from food.


Function of lutein


Antioxidant action


Lutein Extract has a strong antioxidant effect, which can inhibit the activity of reactive oxygen species and prevent the damage of reactive oxygen species to normal cells. Relevant experiments have proved that reactive oxygen species can react with DNA, proteins, lipids, weaken their physiological functions, and then lead to the occurrence of chronic diseases such as cancer, arteriosclerosis, age-related yellow devils degeneration. Lutein Extract can inactivate singlet oxygen through physical or chemical quenching, so as to protect the body from damage and enhance the immune capacity of the body.

 

⚪Reduce the incidence of cataracts

Studies have proved that increasing the intake of Lutein Extract can reduce the incidence of cataract. The mechanism is believed to be that low macular pigment density is closely related to high lens visual density in middle-aged and elderly people, and high lens visual density is considered to be an obvious feature of cataract.

 

Delay arteriosclerosis


The results show that lutein can delay the early arteriosclerosis process. It is mainly the relationship between the thickness of arterial intima and the content of lutein in blood. The low content of lutein in blood is very likely to cause arterial wall thickening. With the gradual increase of lutein content, the trend of arterial wall thickening decreases, and arterial embolism is also significantly reduced. At the same time, Xanthoxylum in arterial wall cells can also reduce the oxidation of LDL cholesterol.

 

Anticancer effect


Many studies have shown that Lutein Extract has an inhibitory effect on a variety of cancers, such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, rectal cancer, skin cancer and so on. According to the New York University School of Medicine, there is a strong relationship between reduced breast cancer incidence and Lutein Extract intake, the study found that the experimental group with low Lutein Extract intake was 2.08 to 2.21 times more likely to have breast cancer than the group with high intake.
