LUTEIN

From six hundred carotenoids only two – lutein and zeaxanthin – possess the ability to penetrate into eye tissues. Lutein enters an organism with food (fruits and vegetables), and zeaxanthin forms from lutein directly in the retina. Lutein and zeaxanthin are the main ingredients of the yellow spot, located in the center of nervous tunic of eyeball and responsible for high acuity of vision. Lutein and zeaxanthin perform a very important function: they do not allow the eye cells to get old and deteriorate.
