The main effect of lutein
Protect eyes vision
(1) lutein is the main component of the macula in the eye, have a preventive effect on age-related macular degeneration (AMD) to improve the elderly vision loss.
(2) Prevention of age-related macular degeneration lead to blindness disease. 65 years of age or older due to aging and muscle degeneration can lead to blindness disease can not be restored. Lutein in the prevention of muscle degeneration to good effect in the human body can not produce, it must be from food or additional supplement, especially in older people must often choose rich foods containing lutein. The United States in 1996 recommended that 60-65 year-old daily supplemental lutein 6mg.
(3) eyes in the lutein filtration, UV damage to the eye and vision caused by the UV protection from sunlight, computers, launch.
(4) reduce the incidence of cataracts.

2 reduce the danger of body and skin degenerative senile plaques, through antioxidant effects, reduces the formation of lipid peroxidation.

3 regulation of blood lipids. Prevent LDL oxidation, thus reducing the risk of heart disease.

4 Antioxidant role. Inhibit the activity of the active oxygen free radicals to prevent reactive oxygen species damage to normal cells. Inactivation of the role of lutein can be destroyed by physical or chemical quenching singlet oxygen, thereby protecting the body from injury, enhance the immune ability.

5 Blockage of the arteries role. Lutein content in the blood is low, can easily cause thickening of the arterial wall, with the gradual increase in lutein content, arterial wall thickening trend lower, arterial embolization was also significantly lower. Meanwhile, the leaves yellow cable in the artery wall cells can reduce the oxidation of LDL cholesterol.
