BRAND’S® Lutein Essence

Humans are not able to synthesize Lutein and Zeaxanthin, so we have to obtain them from dietary sources such as green leafy vegetables or from supplements. Most Singaporeans do not have sufficient Lutein intake. A study in Singapore found that the average Lutein/Zeaxanthin intake is 1.9mg/day, versus the recommended intake of 10mg (Dai et al., 2014)​

Lutein supplements have been safely used in clinical trials at doses of up to 15mg daily for 2 years. And total daily intake of lutein up to 20mg daily from both dietary and supplemental sources appears to be safe.

Consuming carrots provides vitamin A, which is crucial for maintaining healthy vision and preventing night blindness. Goji berries, on the other hand, are high in zeaxanthin, a carotenoid like lutein. It acts as an antioxidant and blue light filter, protecting the eyes from photodamage. BRAND’S® Lutein Range with the combination of lutein and zeaxanthin, offers a targeted approach to eye health by providing these key carotenoids in amounts that may be more effective than what is typically consumed through diet alone. While carrots and goji berries are beneficial for eye health, BRAND’S® Lutein Range ensures a consistent and higher intake of lutein and zeaxanthin, which are directly linked to protecting and maintaining eye health.

BRAND’S® Lutein Essence is suitable for individuals with light to medium eye concerns and can be consumed by children aged 4 years and older.

Most Multi-Vitamin Supplements contain 1-3mg of Lutein, which is insufficient for maintaining eye health.
