This Eye Complex by Vit4ever contains lutein. Each capsule provides 20mg of lutein from marigold extract, supplemented with zeaxanthin, bilberry extract, vitamin A and riboflavin (vitamin B2). One capsule per day is all you need, so the bottle of 180 capsules will last for six months.
Lutein and zeaxanthin are both carotenoids. These are fat-soluble plant pigments that occur naturally in green leafy vegetables, eggs and orange-yellow flowers. In supplements, lutein is often extracted from marigolds (Tagetes erecta), and that is also the case here. What many people do not know: these two substances accumulate in the macula, the central part of your retina. There they together form the so-called macular pigment layer. This product provides 20mg of lutein and 4mg of zeaxanthin per capsule. Lutein is naturally found in spinach, kale and eggs, among others.
In addition to the two carotenoids, this complex also contains vitamin A (890 mcg) and riboflavin. This choice is not random. Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal vision. Riboflavin (vitamin B2) does too: riboflavin contributes to the maintenance of normal vision. But riboflavin does more. It contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative stress. By the way, it also contains 1.25mg of beta-carotene. This is a provitamin A: your body converts it to vitamin A when needed. This way, you get a contribution to your vitamin A intake through two routes, directly via retinyl acetate and indirectly via beta-carotene.
Each capsule also contains 32.5mg of bilberry extract (Vaccinium myrtillus) with 3.25mg of anthocyanidins. Anthocyanidins are polyphenols, a group of plant substances that you also find in red wine and dark fruit. The dosage of bilberry extract in this product is modest. It is clearly a complementary ingredient in the formula, not the main component of this product. But as part of a broader eye complex, it fits into the picture, alongside the two main ingredients lutein and zeaxanthin. Bilberries have been used in traditional Northern European cuisine for centuries, and the extract in this capsule is standardized to the anthocyanidin content, so that each capsule contains the same amount.
Lutein is fat-soluble. In practice, this means that your body absorbs it better when you take the capsule with a meal containing some fat. Think of a slice of bread with avocado, a handful of nuts, a spoonful of olive oil over the salad, or simply your hot meal. If you take the capsule on an empty stomach without fat, some of the lutein will go unused. Good to know: this also applies to the zeaxanthin and the beta-carotene in this formula. All are fat-soluble. A small detail that can make a difference. Many people wonder if it matters what time of day you take the capsule. It actually makes little difference, as long as there is some fat in that meal. Breakfast, lunch or dinner, it all works in principle, as long as there is a source of fat in it.
In short: this Eye Complex by Vit4ever combines 20 mg of lutein and 4 mg of zeaxanthin with vitamin A, riboflavin and a touch of bilberry extract. The capsules are plant-based, vegan and laboratory tested. With 180 pieces in the bottle, you have enough for six months with one capsule per day.
Each capsule contains 20 mg lutein and 4 mg zeaxanthin from marigold extract, in a ratio of 5:1.
The lutein in this product is extracted from marigold petals. Each capsule contains 100 mg of marigold extract, standardized to lutein and zeaxanthin.
One capsule per day is enough. The jar contains 180 capsules, so you have a six-month supply without reordering.
In addition to the carotenoids, each capsule contains 890 µg of vitamin A (111% NRV) and 1.4 mg of riboflavin (100% NRV). Both vitamins contribute to the maintenance of normal vision. Riboflavin also contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

Lutein is a fat-soluble plant pigment from the group of carotenoids. It occurs naturally in green leafy vegetables such as spinach and kale, but also in eggs and orange-yellow flowers. In supplements, it is usually extracted from marigolds (Tagetes erecta). Lutein accumulates in the macula, the central part of your retina, where it forms the macular pigment layer together with zeaxanthin.
Lutein is naturally found in green leafy vegetables such as spinach and kale, and in eggs. Your body does not produce lutein itself. This product provides 20 mg of lutein and 4 mg of zeaxanthin per capsule.
This product provides 20 mg of lutein and 4 mg of zeaxanthin per capsule. No official reference intake (RI) has been established for lutein.
One capsule per day. Each capsule contains 20 mg of lutein and 4 mg of zeaxanthin (5:1 ratio). It also provides 890 µg of vitamin A (111% RI) and 1.4 mg of riboflavin (100% RI).
Both substances are xanthophyll carotenoids: yellow plant pigments found in, among other things, green leafy vegetables, corn, and egg yolk. In this product, they come from marigold extract (Tagetes erecta).
Marigold extract (Tagetes erecta) is by far the most commonly used source of lutein in supplements. The petals naturally contain high concentrations of lutein and zeaxanthin, which are then extracted and standardized. Synthetic lutein also exists, but is hardly used in supplements. In practice, marigold extract is the industry standard.
