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
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
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!

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
3 people found this helpful
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 eye fatigue

I didn't expect much when ordering lutein, but it really worked! After about a month, my persistent eye pain and fatigue significantly diminished. Now, I can comfortably work at my computer without feeling the urge to close my eyes. I'm convinced this supplement makes a tangible difference, and I plan to reorder.

Vision improvement

A great supplement for long hours at the computer. As a programmer, I faced burning eyes and fatigue, which worsened my vision. After taking this supplement, these symptoms were alleviated from the first day. I now order it regularly and genuinely recommend that others try it.

Convenient usage

It can be taken on an empty stomach, which is very convenient. After starting it, I noticed a clear improvement in my dry eyes. Previously, I had to use eye drops multiple times a day, but now I don’t need them anymore. If my comment helps you, please give it a like, thank you.

Reduced eye strain

This lutein is essential for anyone working at a computer for long hours, including my husband who is a programmer. After a month of taking Lutein 20 mg and omega-3, he noted that his eyes weren't as tired by the end of the day, and he no longer experienced his usual burning sensation. Our household considers this product a must-have.

Restored vision clarity

Excellent lutein! Copiapasts from the Internet are not sufficient; only my family's practical experience matters. My husband and I took lutein as we both work at computers, leading to eye fatigue. After completing the course, our eyes felt normal again. I also ordered this lutein for my mother, who has eyesight issues, and the doctor approved the use of this specific lutein and omega-3. After her course, her vision improved significantly. I plan to order this lutein again, as it has been beneficial for us.

Lutein was prescribed by my doctor due to my extensive computer use over the past 22 years. It is three times more expensive at our pharmacies. I take it preferably with fats during meals since lutein is fat-soluble and poorly absorbed without. After two weeks, I started to notice improvements in my vision. I plan to order more after a break, continuing with one capsule a day!
