What is Lutein? And why it is important for young children?

What is Lutein?

Lutein, also known as phytolutein, is a carotenoid that is widely found in vegetables, fruits, flowers and other plants.

Studies have shown that lutein is the only carotenoid found in the retina and lens of the eye. This element cannot be synthesized by the human body and must be ingested externally.

The increased use of the eyes will continuously deplete the lutein content in the eyes, which will lead to severe blindness. Therefore, lutein is also known as the “protective screen” of the eyes.

What is the function of lutein?

1. Blue light filtration

After the ultraviolet and blue light in the sun enters the eyes, a large number of free radicals will be produced, and these free radicals will damage the optic nerve. Lutein can inhibit the formation of free radicals, thereby reducing the damage to the eyes from UV and blue light.

2. Promote the regeneration of rhodopsin

Rhodopsin is one of the three colour-sensing photopigments contained in the cone cells of the human eye and is an important substance for maintaining vision. Lutein can promote the regeneration of rhodopsin in the retina, making vision clearer.

3. Prevent eye diseases

Lutein is an excellent antioxidant that can eliminate tissue damage caused by free radicals. The occurrence of macular degeneration is closely related to free radicals. The rich lutein in the macula can eliminate the damage caused by macular free radicals to the macula, and prevent and control the occurrence and development of macular degeneration. Lutein has a preventive effect on age-related macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, cataract, myopia, eye fatigue, etc.

Lutein can be included in our daily diet. 

Why should you take Mamoru's Blueberry Colostrum Tablets?

The human body cannot produce lutein on its own and can only be supplemented by the outside world. Usually, eat fruits, vegetables and fruits are rich in lutein, for example, an egg contains about 0.14 mg of lutein, and 100 grams of raw spinach contains about 6.6 mg of lutein.

Since you can attain lutein through your diet, why take Mamoru's Bilberry Colostrum tablets?

1. Lutein is a fat-soluble vitamin with poor thermal stability. By cooking at high temperatures and the degradation of gastric acid, the actual absorption of lutein by the human body is not a lot.

2. Many children are serious picky eaters, which will lead to insufficient lutein intake

3. High-intensity eye use will increase the rate of lutein consumption

It can be seen that through Mamoru's Bilberry Colostrum Calcium Tablets, it is necessary to supplement the child's lutein intake in an appropriate amount.

What should you pay attention to when ingesting lutein supplements?

Appropriate supplementation of lutein has great benefits for the eyes, but it cannot be ingested for a long period of time or excessively. It should be supplemented according to the product instructions only. Supplementation for 3-6 months requires a period of rest before continuing the process.
