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.

Driving without discomfort
This worked! I went to America for a while and had to drive. I discovered this supplement on iHerb, ordered it, and started taking it. Within a week, I was able to drive without discomfort, which was really helpful. Recommended.

No more temporary blindness
I bought 3 bottles for my sister. I used to experience blurred vision and even temporary blindness when in a rush. After taking lutein, carotene, and fish oil for 2 months, it never happened again. I've just ordered three more bottles today.

Clearer vision
I ordered it for my aunt, whose eyesight was deteriorating from constant computer use. The effect is very noticeable; her vision has become clearer and images appear brighter. I highly recommend it!

Less eye fatigue
Our vision is everything! I ordered this for a trial, initially sceptical about its effectiveness. However, after a course, I realised it did work; my eyes became less tired, and it feels like my vision has improved. I recommend it to those who spend a lot of time on computers.

Eyes improved significantly
The quality of this brand is excellent, with a protective effect on the eyes. After often looking at my mobile phone, my eyes felt uncomfortable. I heard lutein was beneficial, so I ordered it and took it daily. My eyes have been getting better lately, with no discomfort. Lutein works brilliantly; I recommend it to friends who frequently use their phones.
