GreenFood Nutrition Lutein + Vitamin A 90 capsules

Lutein is a carotenoid pigment found in various fruits and vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables and yellow and orange vegetables and fruits. Lutein is also available in the form of dietary supplements. It belongs to the group of xanthophylls. Lutein is extracted from calendula, a plant rich in carotenoids. Calendula flowers are harvested when they are in full bloom, when the lutein content is highest. The flowers are then dried to remove moisture and prepare them for the extraction process. The dried flowers are processed using solvents that extract lutein from the plant material. The extract is then purified to remove impurities and obtain a concentrated lutein extract. The concentration of lutein in the extract is standardised to contain a specific proportion of lutein, in this case 5%. The standardization of the extract ensures that it contains exactly 5% lutein, resulting in a consistent quality product. Standardisation also means that the product undergoes rigorous tests and checks to ensure that the content is as declared.
