Lutein is called a carotenoid vitamin. It is related to beta-carotene and
vitamin A. Foods rich in
lutein include broccoli, spinach, kale, corn, orange pepper, kiwi fruit, grapes, orange juice, zucchini, and squash. Lutein is absorbed best when it is taken with a high-fat meal.
Many people think of lutein as “the
eye vitamin.” They use it to prevent
eye diseases including age-related
macular degeneration (AMD),
cataracts, and
retinitis pigmentosa.
Some people also use it for preventing
colon cancer,
breast cancer,
type 2 diabetes, and
heart disease.
Many multivitamins contain lutein. They usually provide a relatively small amount of 0.25 mg per tablet.

Cystic fibrosis: People with cystic fibrosis might not absorb some carotenoids from food very well, and often have low blood levels of lutein. How much the body absorbs from lutein supplementation might also be decreased in people with cystic fibrosis.
How does it work?Lutein is one of two major carotenoids found as a color pigment in the human eye (macula and retina). It is thought to function as a light filter, protecting the eye tissues from sunlight damage.
