How much lutein per day

What is Lutein Powder?

Lutein powder is a natural yellow-orange carotenoid extracted from marigold flowers, scientifically known as Tagetes erecta. It is valued for its antioxidant properties and ability to filter blue light, helping protect the retina and macula from oxidative damage.

Lutein is a naturally occurring carotenoid extracted mainly from marigold flowers. It is widely used in dietary supplements, functional foods, beverages, gummies, capsules, and cosmetic formulations because of its antioxidant and eye-health benefits.

How Much Lutein Powder Per Day?

For adults, the commonly recommended daily intake of lutein is:

· 6–10 mg of lutein daily for general eye health.

· 10 mg lutein + 2 mg zeaxanthin daily is a widely used formulation for macular and retinal health support.

· Higher doses, such as 20 mg daily, are used in some nutritional supplements under professional guidance.

According to Yangge Biotech's product information, lutein powder can be used as a dietary supplement at approximately 400 mg of powder once daily, depending on the lutein concentration and final formulation.
