What is lutein? What are its benefits to the body? And how can infants obtain it? In fact, lutein is a type of carotenoid. Although there are over 50 types of carotenoids in our daily diet, only lutein (Lutein) and zeaxanthin (Zeaxanthin) accumulate in the macula of the retina. Therefore, they are also called macular pigments. The retina and macula are responsible for image perception, fine vision, and clarity. Tasks such as distinguishing colors, reading, and recognizing words all rely on them. If the macula and retina are chronically deficient in both lutein and zeaxanthin, it can affect vision, and in severe cases, there may be a risk of blindness.
