Product Overview
Lutein esters are extracted from marigold flowers. They are naturally occurring, and can also be produced synthetically. A lutein ester has two extra fatty acid molecules, as opposed to pure lutein. Studies show the way your body uses lutein esters is functionally better than pure lutein — with up to 62% increased bioavailability.
Lutein esters have been shown to be more bioavailable than free lutein or zeaxanthin, as they are converted in the body into free lutein at a 2:1 conversion ratio (20% lutein esters is claimed equivalent to 10% free lutein).
