An excellent form of lutein along with it in the capsule contains ascorbic acid, which contributes to better absorption. In one capsule, 18 mg., You need to drink only one capsule per day, preferably in terms of a month, twice a year. Lutein is extremely important for maintaining visual acuity and eye health. It forms a yellow pigmented spot in the center of the retina, the so-called macula. This small area of ​​the retina is responsible for the central vision. In the greatest concentration it is contained in the organ of vision: in the retina of the eye, lutein is 10,000 times greater than in the blood plasma. Lutein is an indispensable carotenoid - it is not synthesized in the human body. In the usual vegetables and fruits, lutein is practically absent. For example, in 100 g of carrots it contains only 0.3 mg, about the same in persimmon, and in oranges and mandarins 0.1 mg. As a rule, we consume lutein approximately 5 times less than normal! A person should consume at least 5 mg of lutein daily. For those at risk for eye diseases, this amount should be somewhat larger: 6 to 10 mg of lutein daily. Who is shown the lutein-containing drugs:             - people whose profession is associated with an excessive load of vision;             - those who work with bright light (welding, soffits);             - everyone who spends more than 2 hours a day at the computer and near the TV screen;             - Smokers (smoking increases the risk of retinal dystrophy 6 times);             - persons over the age of 40;             - people with light eyes;             - athletes, alpinists, climbers, surfers exposed to the radiance of the sun reflected from snow or water.   Lutein preparations can be used not only for prevention, but also as an aid in the treatment of eye diseases.  ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ GO TO MY PAGE (click on my nick ✔ Alena-OO7, at the top highlighted in blue), and you will find there, a lot of useful information.
