Lutein is a really helpful supplement for eye health.
- carlmr 4y agoIs this proven helpful? I read about Lutein, Vitamin B3, etc. But I'm never sure if this isn't just the supplement industry advertising.
- jasfi 4y agoYes there are studies on it. I and others who have tried it can personally vouch for it too. 20+mg per day in the mornings works great. Many supplements are very powerful, you just have to find trustworthy sources. A lot of the hype in advertising relates to muscle building and weight loss. Even then there are supplements that help with those goals, but you have to be more careful with the claims some companies make.

- jasfi 4y agoTrue, but in very limited quantities.
- 11235813213455 4y agomaybe, but it's probably dangerous to get isolated supplements, you often need a range of things, even the fiber which is an excellent medium to digest them and move them in the blood and fnally in cells, in a gradual continuous way in short, small natural amount with the right digestion and other nutriments might be better than supplements (no studies, just personal feeling), You can also eat large amount of vegetable if needed, without the risk you have with supplements, because you hit satiety after a few kg
- jasfi 4y agoThat's a good general rule, but it doesn't seem to apply to many supplements which only work well in high concentrations. Lutein is a good example.
