Lutein
Lutein is one of over 600 known naturally occurring carotenoids. Found in green leafy vegetables such as spinach and kale, Lutein is employed by organisms as an antioxidant and for blue light absorption. Lutein has been found to be present in a concentrated area of the macula, a small area of the retina responsible for central vision. The hypothesis for the natural concentration is that Lutein helps the eye to manage high energy light. Various research studies have shown that a direct relationship exists between Lutein intake and pigmentation in the eye. Several studies also show that an increase in macula pigmentation directly relates to healthy eyes and vision.

An antioxidant helps neutralize free radicals in our bodies and protects our cells from damage. A free radical is an unstable molecule that tries to steal electrons from other molecules, thus causing damage. Smoking, pollution, car exhaust, fried foods are some sources of free radicals. Alpha lipoic acid can be found in foods such as meats, and veggies (i.e. spinach. Alpha lipoic acid is also easily absorbed into the blood stream, and it can also cross the blood brain barrier.
