Scientific Studies
Lutein Studies and Age-related Macular Degeneration
Few nutritional ingredients are backed by the extensive science and research as FloraGLO brand lutein. More than 300 published, peer-reviewed studies have documented the potential health benefits of lutein in the eyes, skin, heart, as well as various cancers, the immune system and diabetes. It's simply one of the most researched ingredients available. Below are just a few of these studies
Researchers from Florida International University studied
the effect of 2.4-mg/day lutein (FloraGLO Lutein) intake, in the form of a dietary supplement, on the serum levels and macular pigment (MP)
densities of 24 individuals, over a six-month period (1).
Results: The results from the study showed that all subjects responded to lutein supplementation, measured by a 130% increase of llutein in the serum. Furthermore, most of the subjects had an increase in their macular pigment density as result of the supplementation. The average increase of MP density was 14%.
Dr. Billy R. Hammond and coworkers measured the
macular pigment density of 27 older (aged 60 - 84 years) and 10 younger
(aged 24 –36 years) subjects and determined their visual sensitivity (2).
Results: The results showed that older subjects with high levels of lutein
and zeaxanthin had similar visual sensitivity as younger subjects.
Conversely, older subjects with low lutein and zeaxanthin in their acula
had lower visual sensitivity.
Lutein Studies in the Lens and Retina
A group from the University of South Hampton in
the UK graded the lenses of 372 elderly men and women from
Sheffield, England. They then examined serum samples from
these subjects for the levels of antioxidants, including vitamins C
and E, and various carotenoids, and correlated these levels with
the risk for cataracts. (3).
Results: After adjustment for age, gender, and other risk
factors, those subjects with the highest serum lutein levels (>0.2
µmol/l) were 50% less likely to have posterior subcapsular
cataract relative to those with lowest concentrations of lutein (≤
0.14 µmol/l).
Bilberry
Researchers intrigued by the improved night vision of the bilberry-eating RAF
pilots eventually identified compounds in the berry called anthocyanosides.
These substances appear to fortify blood vessel walls, improving blood flow to
the tiny blood vessels that keep eyes healthy, as well as to larger blood
vessels that help maintain good circulation throughout the body
Ginkgo Biloba
In a 6–month, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 20 people with macular degeneration, use of ginkgo at a dose of 160 mg daily resulted in improved visual acuity.(4)
A 24–week, double-blind study of 99 people with macular degeneration compared ginkgo extract at a dose of 240 mg per day with ginkgo at a dose of 60 mg daily. The results showed that vision improved in both groups, but to a greater extent with the higher dose.(5)
