Lutein 40 mg with Zeaxanthin 7 mg – Retinal Protection, Visual Clarity, Blue Light Filtering and Antioxidants for the Macula

Lutein 40 mg with Zeaxanthin 7 mg, Natural Factors provides a concentrated intake of macular carotenoids from marigold flowers (Tagetes erecta): LuteinRich™ lutein (40 mg) and zeaxanthin (7 mg). These pigments are structural components of the macula – the area of the retina responsible for fine visual acuity and color perception. The formula concentrates a strong lutein–zeaxanthin ratio, suitable for supporting retinal integrity, visual comfort in the face of blue light and oxidative stress, contrast and light sensitivity, as well as maintaining clear vision in everyday activities.

Detailed benefits of Lutein and Zeaxanthin (from Tagetes erecta)

• Macular protection – a natural optical “filter”

Lutein and zeaxanthin accumulate selectively in the macula, forming the macular pigment that acts as an optical filter for high-energy light (blue–violet). Adequate macular density supports:

✅ Clarity of fine details (reading, computer work, driving)
✅ Stability of color perception and contours
✅ Prolonged visual comfort during tasks that require focus

• Defense against blue light (screens, modern environments)

Prolonged exposure to blue light sources – monitors, smartphones, LEDs – can induce visual fatigue and retinal oxidative stress. Macular carotenoids selectively absorb this spectral band, contributing to:

✅ Reduced discomfort under strong light
✅ Support for resilience to the effects of prolonged digital exposure
✅ Maintaining focus and long-term ocular comfort

• Antioxidants for a retina exposed to oxidative stress

The retina consumes a lot of oxygen and has a high density of polyunsaturated fatty acids, making it inherently sensitive to oxidation. Lutein and zeaxanthin neutralize free radicals generated by light and intense metabolism, providing:

✅ Protection of photoreceptors and retinal layers
✅ Stabilization of sensitive cell membranes
✅ Overall support for ocular tissue integrity

• Contrast sensitivity and refined visual perception

Macular pigment density correlates with how we differentiate close hues and subtle contours. A concentrated intake of lutein (40 mg) and zeaxanthin (7 mg) can support:

✅ Contrast perception in variable lighting conditions
✅ Distinguishing details against complex backgrounds
✅ A “cleaner” visual experience in fine tasks

• Comfort in bright light and reduced short-term glare

Sudden transitions from dark areas to intense light or reflections on glossy surfaces strain the retina. Macular carotenoids act as optical dampers:

✅ Smoother visual adaptation between different lighting levels
✅ Reduced discomfort under intense artificial lighting
✅ Support for visual comfort when driving in daylight

• Support for night vision and light–dark transitions

Although lutein and zeaxanthin do not replace the role of rhodopsin, an antioxidant background and well-represented macular pigment can support the quality of visual adaptation:

✅ More comfortable transition to low light
✅ More stable perception of contours at dusk
✅ Visual calibration in activities that involve rapid light alternations

• Active visual aging – maintaining function at older ages

As we age, antioxidant defenses and macular pigment can decline. A concentrated intake of lutein and zeaxanthin from standardized sources helps with:

✅ Supporting macular pigment density
✅ Limiting cumulative oxidative stress
✅ Maintaining day-to-day visual function over the long term

• Why LuteinRich™ from Tagetes erecta? Quality and standardization

Marigold flowers (Tagetes erecta) are a naturally rich source of lutein and zeaxanthin esters. LuteinRich™ indicates a concentrated, standardized extract with a consistent carotenoid profile:

✅ Safe, well-characterized plant origin
✅ High content of free/ readily available lutein
✅ Optimal lutein–zeaxanthin ratio for the macula

• Lutein + zeaxanthin synergy – a team for the macula

Although lutein is present in greater amounts in macular pigment, zeaxanthin occupies critical zones of the fovea. Their combination balances spectral absorption and antioxidant protection:

✅ Extended spectral coverage for blue light
✅ Photo-oxidative stability of the retinal environment
✅ Coherent support for central acuity

• Fit for the modern lifestyle (screens, driving, working in bright spaces)

In today’s environments, the eyes are taxed by intense visual tasks and artificial light exposures. A concentrated formula facilitates daily support:

✅ Comfort during prolonged work in front of a monitor
✅ Stable visual perception in LED/fluorescent-lit offices
✅ Support for attention and clarity in the urban rhythm

• Support for color perception and an aesthetic visual experience

The macula is responsible for vivid colors and fine details. Macular carotenoids contribute to a balanced visual experience:
✅ Well-differentiated hues and clean contours
✅ Chromatic stability in creative activities
✅ The pleasure of a “clear” image in everyday use

• Nutritional coherence and compatibility

Lutein and zeaxanthin are fat-soluble and work harmoniously with other nutrients of a visually healthy lifestyle (omega-3 fatty acids, dietary polyphenol antioxidants, vitamin A from food sources). Overall:

✅ Synergistic antioxidant background for the active retina
✅ Membrane stability and visual neuronal function
✅ Anchoring in a balanced diet rich in colorful plants

Lutein 40 mg with Zeaxanthin 7 mg, Natural Factors is designed for people who want targeted support for the macula and visual comfort: professionals who work extensively at screens, drivers, enthusiasts of fine visual activities, or anyone aiming to maintain visual clarity in the pace of modern life. With a concentrated intake of lutein and zeaxanthin from Tagetes erecta, the formula delivers retinal antioxidant protection, blue light filtering, and support for acuity, contrast, and color perception – anchors of a balanced visual experience day by day.
