Brief Introduction:
Lutein is an antioxidant, which belongs to the carotenoid family. It is a yellow coloured pigment. Although lutein is not categorized as a vitamin, dietary lutein is believed to be an essential nutrient for normal vision. Because lutein is fat soluble, a deficiency may occur if fat digestion is impaired.
