VisiVite's most highly concentrated lutein formula. Contains 44 mg lutein plus 4 mg zeaxanthin. Super Lutein 444 eye vitamins do not hide what's inside. Natural Lutein and Zeaxanthin have a rich hue, and the clear veg caps show through the beautiful, raw colors of nature.
Natural Lutein and Zeaxanthin have a deep color to them, unlike synthetic versions. With 44 mg lutein and 4 mg zeaxanthin, its clear vegetarian capsules show the beautiful colors of nature clearly. Many eye supplement capsules have synthetic light-colored fillers or use titanium dioxide to make their capsules opaque, so that the pigment cannot be seen clearly. Super Lutein 444 capsules are truly unique.
Lutein is supplied from marigold flowers, and as the world’s harvest of marigolds differs season by season, and year-by-year, the appearance of naturally-sourced lutein can differ in different lots and years. However, each batch of lutein is assayed to assess for potency. And each manufactured lot is independently tested by an outside laboratory to assure the correct lutein dosage is in every capsule of VisiVite eye vitamins. |

What is the goal of taking so much lutein?Are there studies indicating that this is beneficial? Could you elaborate? Thanks.
There are no macular degeneration studies of these high lutein doses. However, the FDA has granted lutein levels of up to 150 mg daily as "Generally Regarded as Safe" also known as GRAS. Of note, a cup full of boiled kale contains approximately 44 mg, so these doses can be obtained by vegetable ingestion if you preferred. Lutein and Zeaxanthin improve retinal pigmentation and visual function, including blue light glare.
is it possible to overdose on lutein ? 44mg seems like a lot
There is 44 mg of lutein per cup of cooked kale.
Would it be better to take this instead of the Gold ARED2?
No, definitely not. Super Lutein 444 can be taken with your AREDS 2 formula, but NEVER instead of your AREDS 2 formula.
