Lutein reduces inflammation in TAO
Lutein targeting orbital fibroblasts attenuates fibrotic and inflammatory effects in thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy.
High relevance for treatment exploration.
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.

Vegan diet benefits rheumatoid arthritis
Antioxidants in vegan diet and rheumatic disorders.
Highly relevant and beneficial
We examined how a living food (LF) vegan diet, packed with antioxidants, influences rheumatoid disorders. Participants consuming LF, which includes raw fruits and vegetables, nuts, and seeds, showed significant increases in beneficial nutrients like carotenoids and vitamins C and E. Remarkably, those following the LF diet experienced reduced joint pain and stiffness, leading to improved overall health. These positive changes were not only reflected in subjective reports but also in objective assessments. Overall, our findings suggest that a diet rich in plant-based antioxidants may greatly benefit individuals with autoimmune disorders, particularly rheumatoid arthritis.

Lutein boosts carotenoids, not cognition
Randomized, Placebo-Controlled, Single-Blind Study of Lutein Supplementation on Carotenoid Status and Cognition in Persons with Multiple Sclerosis.
Preliminary support for future research.
We investigated the effectiveness of a four-month lutein supplementation in enhancing carotenoid status and cognitive function in individuals with relapse-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Our study involved 21 participants who were split into placebo and treatment groups.

While we found that lutein did boost carotenoid levels, it did not show a significant impact on cognitive performance overall. However, there was a promising connection between increased macular carotenoids and improvements in attention and memory. This paves the way for more extensive studies to explore lutein's potential cognitive benefits in MS.

Restored vision
This lutein helped me maintain and even restore my vision's clarity while relieving tension from my eyes. I've experienced significant improvement after 10 days of taking 2 capsules daily. I'm amazed at its effectiveness, particularly given my initial blurry vision. I also plan to use it preventively moving forward to support my eye health.

Improved night vision
My night vision has remarkably improved after two weeks of taking this product. No more watering or itching eyes! The lutein filters harmful blue light, which I encounter from various devices. Combining it with sunglasses, quitting smoking, and taking regular breaks makes lutein my first line of defence against blue light damage. I highly recommend this product!

Improved eye comfort
Perfectly! For eye health. I ordered it on the recommendation of an ophthalmologist to maintain eye health. This product has the correct ratio of lutein to zeaxanthin, with an effective daily dosage of at least 10 mg of lutein and 2 mg of zeaxanthin. The ophthalmologist advised me to take it in cycles: for three months, then a break for 3-4 months, before starting again. I ordered it for myself and my husband. We nearly finished our course and I've noticed that my eyes do not tire as much when working on a computer. Overall, the quality of my vision has improved in daily life.

Fatigue relief
Excellent! To achieve a positive effect on vision, sufficient quantities of lutein are necessary. I found little information on the lutein content in "blueberry-fort with lutein". In Russia, the standard dosage is 5 mg daily, with a maximum of 10. I was prescribed tablets containing 20 mg daily; unfortunately, these offered no results. I have had poor eyesight since elementary school and was often prescribed supplements like blueberries. I take lutein sporadically each year when my eyes feel strained from computer use. The fatigue subsides, and my vision becomes considerably sharper.

Reduced fatigue
I have ordered this lutein several times. After use, my eyes feel less tired, and colours appear deeper. Lutein plays a vital role in eye health, and I recommend it to friends for its proven benefits against fatigue.
