Description:Lutein - 95% is a purified carotenoid compound, which is derived primarily from the petals of the marigold plant, Tagetes erecta. This high-purity extract contains a significant concentration of lutein, a naturally occurring pigment known for its role in the human body, particularly in the eyes. The primary mode of action of lutein involves its antioxidant properties; it functions by neutralizing free radicals, thus protecting cellular structures from oxidative damage. Within the human eye, lutein is concentrated in the macular region of the retina where it helps to filter harmful high-energy blue wavelengths of light and maintains healthy cells.
The application of Lutein - 95% is predominantly in research focused on ocular health, specifically in studying conditions such as age-related macular degeneration and cataracts. Furthermore, its use extends to nutritional supplementation, given its role in preventing or mitigating phototoxic damage. Additionally, its antioxidant capabilities make Lutein - 95% a molecule of interest in studies exploring the protection against oxidative stress in other systems beyond ocular health. This carotenoid's high purity ensures reliable results in experimental settings, making it a critical component in scientific investigations of visual health.
