Together they form the macular pigment, a natural yellow filter that absorbs high-energy blue light and neutralises free radicals before they can damage the delicate photoreceptor cells beneath. The body cannot synthesise these carotenoids — they must come entirely from diet or supplementation. Beyond the eyes, lutein is one of the major carotenoids found in human blood and is distributed to multiple tissues — including the skin, heart, and lungs — where it functions as a potent free radical scavenger, protecting cells from oxidative damage caused by UV radiation, pollution, and metabolic stress. FloraGLO® is the gold-standard lutein ingredient — a natural, highly bioavailable free lutein extracted from marigold flowers (\u003cem\u003eTagetes erecta\u003c\/em\u003e) under a patented process. It is the most extensively studied lutein ingredient in the world, with decades of clinical research supporting its role in increasing macular pigment optical density (MPOD), supporting visual acuity, and reducing the risk of age-related macular changes. Free lutein is the form most readily absorbed and utilised by the body — unlike lutein esters, which require additional conversion steps. Doctor's Best has been formulating science-based supplements since 1990.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports macular pigment — lutein and zeaxanthin are the primary pigments of the macula, essential for sharp central vision\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue light filtration — absorbs high-energy blue light from screens, sunlight, and LED lighting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-tissue antioxidant — protects eyes, skin, heart, and lungs from free radical damage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFloraGLO® free lutein — the most clinically researched lutein, in the most bioavailable free form\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSynergistic zeaxanthin (1mg) — works with lutein for complete macular protection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFat-soluble delivery in safflower oil softgel — optimal absorption of these fat-soluble carotenoids\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGluten free, 60 softgels — 2-month supply\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eFormula Highlights\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLutein (FloraGLO®, free form)\u003c\/strong\u003e — 20mg per softgel; patented marigold-derived free lutein, the most bioavailable form\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eZeaxanthin\u003c\/strong\u003e — 1mg per softgel; works synergistically with lutein for complete macular pigment support\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafflower oil base\u003c\/strong\u003e — fat-soluble delivery for optimal carotenoid absorption\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eSupplement Facts\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eServing size: 1 softgel | Servings per container: 60\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIngredient\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePer Serving\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLutein (FloraGLO®, free form, from marigold flower \u003cem\u003eTagetes erecta\u003c\/em\u003e)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e20mg*\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eZeaxanthin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1mg*\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Daily Value not established.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eSuggested Use\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake 1 softgel daily with food.
