Product application and Industrial application
Nutraceuticals and Dietary Supplements
Lutein is commonly used in the nutraceutical and dietary supplement industry due to its potential health benefits. As an antioxidant, it helps neutralize free radicals, which can cause cellular damage. Additionally, lutein is particularly beneficial for eye health as it accumulates in the retina, specifically the macula, and may help protect against age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts.
