Whether you’re looking to support healthy vision, protect your eyes against digital exposure or maintain visual clarity as you age, Welzo’s range gives you access to high-quality lutein supplements with trusted sourcing and formulation.
What is Lutein?
Lutein is a plant-derived xanthophyll carotenoid that humans cannot synthesise, so it must be obtained via diet or supplementation. It accumulates in the retina, especially the macula, and plays a role in filtering high-energy blue light, protecting retinal cells from oxidative stress and supporting visual performance. Lutein is found in dark green leafy vegetables (e.g., kale, spinach), egg yolks and yellow/orange-pigmented foods, and is incorporated into supplements when dietary intake may be insufficient.
Benefits and Features of the Lutein Collection
Our Lutein collection is designed to provide evidence-based support for vision and antioxidant wellness. Key features include high-quality lutein formulations combined with complementary nutrients, designed for daily use. These supplements help support the macular pigment in the eye, filter damaging blue light, reduce oxidative stress in ocular tissues and contribute to visual clarity and comfort especially for those exposed to screens or ageing. They are suitable for individuals seeking targeted eye-health support, delivered in UK-friendly formats, transparent labelling and from trusted manufacturers.

Why is Lutein Important?
Visual health is influenced by many factors including age, screen time, light exposure, diet and antioxidant status. As the macula ages or undergoes oxidative damage, visual clarity, contrast sensitivity and central vision may decline. Lutein helps by accumulating in the macular region of the retina, where it acts as a natural filter of blue light and a protector of retinal cells from free-radical damage. Moreover, research shows associations between higher lutein levels and improved visual parameters, reduced risk of age-related eye conditions and possibly support for skin and cognitive wellness. Ensuring adequate lutein intake is therefore a practical strategy for long-term visual resilience.
Statistics, Research and Expert Information on Lutein
• Studies show that taking lutein (often 10 mg/day) can increase macular pigment optical density and improve visual outcomes in certain populations.
• A review in PMC concluded that lutein and zeaxanthin are the only dietary carotenoids found in the human retina, and supportive therapy may delay progression of age-related eye diseases. • According to the UK-based Macular Society, “several studies suggest that eating at least 10 mg of lutein a day has the most beneficial effect on macular pigment levels.”
• A few UK NHS bulletins note that while antioxidant supplements (including lutein) are widely used for eye-health, prescribing is not routinely supported unless risk of progression is high.
• Emerging research also links lutein intake to benefits beyond vision — skin health via UV-protection and cognitive support — although more data is needed.
How We Select Our Lutein Collection at Welzo
At Welzo we apply the following criteria when choosing lutein supplements:
• Transparent ingredient labelling — clear mg per serving of lutein (and zeaxanthin if included)
• Evidence-based formulations (dose ranges used in human studies)
• Manufactured to UK/European quality standards, in audited facilities
Our lutein range draws on established science in ocular nutrition, recommended by dietitians and eye-health professionals. Many optometrists and nutritional therapists highlight lutein as a key nutrient for macular support and visual ageing.
