What is lutein and how can it help eye health?
Lutein is part of a family of substances called carotenoids. These are a critical part of the eye’s macular pigment. The macula can be depleted through years of exposure to light and oxidative stress, but the lutein in ICaps® can help compensate for this. You could call lutein ‘nature’s own sunglasses’ because it acts as a kind of optical filter, protecting the eyes against radiation damage. Lutein also protects the optic nerves from the damaging effects of ageing. In recent years many clinical trials have found that lutein and zeaxanthin are essential micronutrients for eye health.
