Lutein CAS 127-40-2 , a promising star in the field of botanical substances, is now being favored by people. Lutein is not only an antioxidant that inhibits the risk of cancer and heart disease, but also plays a significant role in protecting the eyes. Lutein is an important carotenoid present in the eyes. According to a recent report in Ophthalmology, foods containing lutein can prevent cataracts and protect the eyes from age-related macular degeneration.

Application

Protection of vision: Lutein has an important protective effect on the macula in the retina. When lacking, it can lead to macular degeneration and blurred vision, leading to symptoms such as visual degradation and myopia. Lutein is a precursor of NA and can be converted into VA in the human body. The main physiological function of lutein on the eyes is as an antioxidant and light protection. The optic nerve is not renewable and is highly susceptible to harmful free radicals. The antioxidant effect of lutein can inhibit the formation of harmful free radicals. Lutein can absorb a large amount of blue light, and the wavelength of blue visible light is similar to that of ultraviolet light, which is the most potentially harmful type of light that can reach the retina. Before reaching sensitive cells on the retina, light first passes through the highest aggregation area of lutein. At this time, if the lutein content in the macula is abundant, this damage can be minimized. The antioxidant effect of lutein is strong, which can inhibit the activity of reactive oxygen species and prevent their damage to normal cells. Relevant experiments have shown that reactive oxygen species can react with DNA, proteins, and lipids, weakening their physiological functions and leading to diseases such as cancer and arteriosclerosis, The occurrence of chronic diseases such as age-related yellow magic degeneration. Lutein can inactivate singlet oxygen through physical or chemical quenching, thereby protecting the body from harm and enhancing the body’s immune capacity. Reducing the incidence of cataracts is a major eye disease worldwide that leads to blindness. The latest research has shown that increasing the intake of lutein can achieve the goal of birth rate. Currently, it is believed that the mechanism is closely related to lower macular pigment density and higher lens visual density in middle-aged and elderly people, and higher lens visual density is considered a significant feature of cataract incidence.
