Lutein is one of the most prevalent yellow colored carotenoid in nature. Together with zeaxanthin it is highly concentrated in the macula of the eye where it protects it from blue light, light oxidation and improves visual performance. Recently, interest in lutein has expanded beyond the eye to its possible contribution to brain development and function. In this article, we explore how might it be beneficial to the brain.
