Product Description
Lutein is a dietary carotenoid naturally present in eggs and yellow-colored fruits and vegetables, exhibiting diverse biological activities. At a concentration of 10 μM, it reduces hyperglycemia-induced mitochondrial DNA damage, decreases the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and promotes mitochondrial biogenesis in ARPE-19 cells.
