Product Details
Lutein is a naturally occurring carotenoid found in green leafy vegetables such as spinach and kale, as well as in foods like eggs, corn, and oranges. Lutein is important for supporting eye health. BioPerine is included in this formulation to boost the bioavailability and absorption of lutein, helping the body absorb and make better use of it.
Key Benefits:
-
Maximized Absorption: BioPerine helps improve the absorption and bioavailability of lutein, ensuring efficient utilisation in the body.
-
Antioxidant Support: Lutein and BioPerine both have antioxidant properties, helping to neutralise free radicals and reduce oxidative stress.
-
Eye Health: Lutein plays a role in supporting normal eye function and protecting the eyes from oxidative stress.

How It Works: Enhanced Bioavailability
Lutein is a fat-soluble carotenoid that can be difficult for the body to absorb on its own. Our formula is supercharged with BioPerine® (Black Pepper Extract), a patented bioavailability enhancer. BioPerine® increases the body's thermogenic activity, allowing for more efficient transport of Lutein into the bloodstream. This ensures that the "eye vitamin" reaches the macula of your eyes, where it helps filter harmful blue light and protects against oxidative stress.
