Lutein 20mg microencapsulated - 90 capsules
Due to the microencapsulated beadlets, the lutein is protected against oxidation and disintegration
Nature gave us humans a very complex and sensitive organ, which allows us to perceive our environment in colour, namely the eye. The ability to see not only makes it possible to cope with everyday life in a constantly changing world, but has also an effect on our well-being.
Lutein is the crucial component of the yellow spot (macula) and acts as a filter, which protects the eye by absorbing short-wave light (e.g. harsh and blinding light). This way, it protects the sensitive visual cells.
Since the body is not able to produce lutein itself, it has to be taken in with the food.
Why is the carotenoid good for the eyes?
The normal everyday life demands a lot from our eyes. Long periods of watching TV, extensive reading, working at the PC, driving at night and intense sunlight often places great strain on them. Therefore, it is beneficial to provide the eyes with sufficient amounts of nutrients, which support their function and performance.
Lutein is a deep yellow pigment and belongs to the group of carotenoids. The highest concentration of lutein can be found in the retina of the eye. It accumulates especially in the macula, the area responsible for the most focused vision. Due to its antioxidant properties, lutein is able to bind free radicals, which are released by light. Furthermore, it absorbs the blue light, which is particularly energy-rich. This is the reason why lutein is referred to as the “inner sunglasses”.

Due to microencapsulation, the lutein in this dietary supplement by Fairvital is well-protected.
Lutein is very sensitive and reacts to light exposure. It is not heat-resistant, oxidises when in contact with air and loses its effectiveness. That is why this product contains microencapsulated lutein in the form of beadlets, which protect it against oxidation and disintegration, Warmth, oxygen and light are not able to compromise the quality. The microencapsulation dissolves in the intestines and releases the lutein.
