Update Date: Source: Network

Lutein is a natural pigment that can efficiently filter visible blue light, reduce the base number of blue light falling on the eyes, and also reduce the oxidative effect of light on the eyes, which has a good protective effect on the eyes. Lutein is commonly found in vegetables and fruits, and cannot meet its own needs through diet. Professional lutein ester products can be taken directly to supplement lutein. Lutein, also known as plant xanthophyll, is a natural pigment widely found in vegetables, flowers, and fruits. It is also a very important nutrient for the human body and has a good protective effect on the eyes.

1. Lutein can filter high-energy visible blue light. Experiments have shown that reducing 40% of blue light can greatly reduce the number of free radicals on the retina;

2. As an antioxidant, lutein can reduce the oxidative effect of light on the eyes and control the formation of active oxides and free radicals. According to current research, it is recommended to intake about 6mg of lutein ester daily, which is far from the lutein ester contained in chrysanthemums. Therefore, the National Health Commission approved "lutein ester" as a new resource food in 2008, and it is recommended that it can be directly supplemented through professional lutein ester products.

In fact, the key to protecting the eyes is to develop healthy eye habits, avoid staring at electronic screens such as computers and mobile phones for a long time, and pay attention to resting the eyes.
