Introduction
Lutein is a carotenoid naturally found in dark green leafy vegetables and serves as the core pigment in the macula of the retina. Since the human body cannot synthesize lutein, it must be obtained through diet or supplements. In today's digital age, lutein-based eye care products have become a hot category in the health supplement market.
