Description Lutein (Xanthophyll) is a carotenoid with reported anti-inflammatory properties. A large body of evidence shows that lutein has several beneficial effects, especially on eye health.

Lutein is able to arrive in the brain and shows antidepressant-like and neuroprotective effects. Lutein is orally active.
