Lutein and Cardiovascular Health
What is lutein's role in eye health?
Research suggests lutein plays a significant role in human health. For cardiovascular health, lutein present in blood serum may favorably impact arterial wall thickening, a component of atherosclerosis.**
At least one published study produced findings that suggested higher levels of lutein in the serum may be linked with less thickening of arterials walls.† **
