In the human body lutein is specifically deposited in the macula portion of the eye. Dietary intake of lutein dramatically impacts the concentration found in the macula. Small amounts of zeaxanthin are also found in the macula.

Supports Visual Function and Protects the Macula Lutein is an antioxidant carotenoid complex; 1 of over 600 naturally occurring carotenoids found in green leafy vegetables. Found in high concentrations in the macula (small area in the retina) Studies show that Lutein supplementation can slow or even halt the development of macular degeneration.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a condition which culminates in lower levels of lutein and zeaxanthin in the macula and, consequently, lowers macular optical pigment density (MOPD). A six-year study showed that AMD is, at least in part, a nutrition-responsive disorder and that supplementation, particularly with lutein, can improve eye function and slow progression of the disease. Average eye MOPD increased 50% in both the lutein and lutein plus antioxidant treatment groups. Lutein and lutein/antioxidant treatments significantly improved the visual function parameters, including glare recovery, contrast sensitivity and visual acuity.

Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids found throughout the body, but they are especially concentrated in the retina of the eye. The two display antioxidant properties that fight damaging free radicals. Unlike most other eye health products, Schiff's Lutein contains zeaxanthin in a 1:5 ratio with lutein as found in nature. Schiff Lutein is fortified with vitamins C and E, zinc and copper.
