Jarrow Formulas Lutein

We explored the relationship between serum levels of carotenoids, like lutein, and cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome in over 1,600 U.S. adults. Through extensive analysis, we found that higher lutein levels corresponded with a lower likelihood of advanced CKM syndrome. Other carotenoids also showed similar protective effects, but β-cryptoxanthin did not demonstrate any significant benefit. This suggests that increasing intake of carotenoids, especially lutein, may be a smart choice for heart health.

Cardiovascular system support

Most Useful Review

This product positively influences the cardiovascular system, lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease, including atherosclerosis and strokes. Additionally, adequate lutein intake helps prevent retinal detachment and cataracts associated with ageing.

Chest Pain

Lutein shows promise in inflammation reduction

Lutein exerts anti-inflammatory effects in patients with coronary artery disease.

Most Relevant Research

We explored the potential of lutein, a carotenoid, in reducing chronic inflammation in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). By analyzing blood samples from 134 stable angina patients and 59 with acute coronary syndrome, we noted a link between lutein levels and reduced inflammation markers like interleukin-6 (IL-6). Notably, when blood cells were treated with lutein, it showed significant anti-inflammatory effects.

While these results are promising, they point toward lutein's potential rather than a definitive solution for chest pain in CAD patients.

Reduced eye pain

Most Useful Review

Taking one capsule daily has significantly eased the pain and dryness in my eyes over the past two weeks. Though my vision remains around -8 due to a retinal detachment, I see better at night, and the discomfort from using the computer has almost vanished. Even while using Taufon drops, which I've taken for a long time without lutein, I notice little difference.

Floaters

Previously, I experienced many eye troubles. After restarting lutein, I noticed the floaters had disappeared after some time. I had also tried eye drops with no effect. I believe the combination of riboflavin, ginkgo, and lecithin may also play a role, but I will continue with lutein.

Lutein shows cardioprotective benefits

The protective role of lutein on isoproterenol-induced cardiac failure rat model through improving cardiac morphology, antioxidant status via positively regulating Nrf2/HO-1 signalling pathway.

Most Relevant Research

We explored how lutein, a powerful carotenoid, impacts heart health in a study involving healthy male rats. The rats were divided into groups to compare the effects of lutein with a control group and those induced with heart issues.

Our findings revealed that pre-treatment with lutein significantly reduced damage and improved heart function after induced heart problems. Specifically, lutein lowered infarct size and several harmful markers while enhancing beneficial antioxidant levels.

These promising results suggest that lutein could provide protective benefits against heart complications in future therapies.

Improved heart health

Most Useful Review

Trusted brand and a wonderful antioxidant supplement for eye health. Research shows that Lutein and Zeaxanthin can help reverse cataracts and significantly enhance glaucoma. It's an investment worth making.

Association between serum carotenoids levels and severe headache or migraine in adults: a cross-sectional study from NHANES.

Most Relevant Research

We investigated the relationship between carotenoid levels in the blood and the prevalence of severe headaches or migraines among US adults. Using data from over 8,900 participants in the NHANES survey, we found a noteworthy inverse association between levels of lutein, zeaxanthin, and several other carotenoids with the incidence of migraines.

While these findings suggest that carotenoids might offer some protective benefits, further research is needed to confirm these results and understand how they work.

No more redness

Most Useful Review

With daily use of lutein, my red eyes and headaches from extended screen time have disappeared. I can now work on the computer for many hours without discomfort, so I highly recommend it.

Lutein protects against liver injury

Lutein Prevents Liver Injury and Intestinal Barrier Dysfunction in Rats Subjected to Chronic Alcohol Intake.

Most Relevant Research

We investigated the effects of lutein on liver and intestinal health in rats subjected to chronic alcohol consumption. Over a 14-week period, groups of rats received various doses of lutein while others were exposed to ethanol.

Our results showed that lutein actively reduced liver injury by mitigating oxidative stress and inflammation related to alcohol intake. We observed improvements in liver tissue integrity and intestinal barrier function.

However, it is important to note that these findings are specific to the rat model used in the study and may not translate directly to humans.

Reported improvement

Most Useful Review

My mother has liver disease due to having Botkin as a child, which means she struggles with medication that affects her liver. The grandchildren, aged 6 and 8, have taken the drug successfully, and I've noticed an improvement. I'm pleased with the product and will order more.

Common Cold

Its anthocyanin anti-inflammatory properties help with fever, aches, and pains, alleviate symptoms of the common cold and flu, strengthen the immune system, and combat various inflammations.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Lutein and zeaxanthin are essential for protecting the retina and preventing chronic fatigue syndrome, especially for those working long hours at computers. They block blue light and protect against harmful radiation. I combine them with Omega-3 and blueberry extract, and I highly recommend these supplements.

Cold Sores

Insufficient effectiveness

Most Useful Review

I took it to my eldest son, but he said it doesn't help. Nutritionists advise that lutein should be consumed throughout life, as it is terribly lacking in food. One jar probably isn't sufficient.

Reflux

Acid reflux. These gave me a bad case of reflux. After taking only two, I discarded the rest. Certain foods trigger my reflux, but most supplements don't affect me.

Back Pain

I experienced discomfort from back pain, but after taking it, the pain subsided. I've continued using it for years. I also recommended it to a friend with early cataracts, and he found his symptoms eased significantly. He often asks me to "buy it together."

Lutein reduces inflammation in TAO

Lutein targeting orbital fibroblasts attenuates fibrotic and inflammatory effects in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy.

Most Relevant Research

We investigated how lutein might help with thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy (TAO), a condition marked by inflammation and fibrosis. In our in vitro study, lutein was applied to orbital fibroblasts before introducing fibrotic and inflammatory triggers.

We observed that lutein reduced important markers related to fibrosis and inflammation, such as ACTA2 and IL-6, while also curtailing cell migration. The research highlights lutein's possible therapeutic role due to its ability to inhibit harmful processes seen in TAO, suggesting it could be a promising treatment option.

Eye strain relief

Most Useful Review

Despite having amblyopia, my work heavily strains my eyes. Although I didn't expect dramatic improvements, after three months of Lutein, my eyes feel less tired and the scratching has almost stopped. While I still experience some dryness, the discomfort has decreased significantly.
