Do children need lutein supplements? Is lutein suitable for children?

Lutein, also known as phytoprogesterone, is a carotenoid with the chemical formula C40H56O2, which is widely found in vegetables, fruits, flowers and other plants, and its chemical formula contains two ketone rings, which are the main pigments present in the macular area of the retina of the human eye.

A variety of green leafy vegetables such as spinach, mustard greens, lettuce, broccoli, winter melon, green radish, corn, etc. contain a very large amount of lutein, and kiwifruit and egg yolk also contain lutein.

However, the content of lutein in the human body is particularly small, once consumed, it must be supplemented in time, and a single food can not be satisfied, and must be supplemented by in vitro nutrients.

Guidance: Leyan Vision Nutrient is rich in lutein, and it has a good effect if you take it consistently. Many children are using it, without any ***, which is the first choice for children's lutein.

The currently known effects of lutein are:

1. Protect the retina and ensure clear vision.

Lutein is a good antioxidant that can prevent the retina from oxidative damage when it absorbs light; It can also protect the microvasculature of the eye and maintain good blood circulation.

2. Improve eyesight.

Lutein is a very strong antioxidant that helps filter out blue light, reduce color aberration, and make vision more accurate.

3. Prevention of glaucoma.

Lutein can reduce the oxidative strength of ocular proteins, and the higher the intake, the lower the incidence of glaucoma.

4. Delay the occurrence of cataracts.

Lutein is the only carotenoid found in crystals, which can enhance the antioxidant capacity of crystals, resist damage from sunlight and free radicals, and delay or prevent the occurrence of cataracts.

5. Prevent the sequelae of high myopia.

High myopia is prone to retinal detachment, hydrops, floaters, etc., and even leads to permanent blindness.

6. Reduce macular degeneration and lesions.

Macular degeneration is a leading cause of blindness in older adults. Lutein has been shown to help improve vision in elderly patients with degenerative macular disease.

Lutein is an essential element for the visual development of adolescents, and appropriate supplementation is a must, supplementing Yimolemolecular lutein can prevent and treat eye diseases such as myopia, strabismus, amblyopia, and retinal pigment in adults.

Degeneration, protection of visual function, **senile retinal macular degeneration (AMD), prevention and treatment of radiation damage of the eyes, **diabetes and retinopathy complicated by diabetes, strong antioxidant, maintain posture.

Lutein, also known as "plant progesterone", exists in green plants, is absorbed by the human body, mainly distributed in the retina, is the core nutrients of the retina and macular area of the fundus, has the effect of protecting vision, anti-oxidation, anti-blue light, relieving visual fatigue, etc., and the human body itself cannot synthesize lutein, can only rely on exogenous supplementation.

Children and adolescents are in the stage of vision development and use their eyes more closely, so it is beneficial to eye health to supplement lutein appropriately and effectively.

When choosing lutein products, parents can listen to the advice of ophthalmologists, pay attention to the content of lutein, and make reasonable supplements every day.

In addition, parents should also make it clear that lutein is a nutritional supplement, not a drug, it can play a certain role in protection and prevention, but not eye disease, if you find myopia, amblyopia, astigmatism and other diseases, you should go to the hospital for relevant examinations as soon as possible, and follow the doctor's instructions to actively control it!

The incidence of myopia in adolescents and children in China is high, and there is basically one in every two children. The childhood and adolescent stage of children aged 3-14 is the key period for myopia control. It is necessary to supplement more eye nutrition and provide eye quality.

1.Eye exercises, which allow blood to circulate smoothly around the eyes and relieve spasms in the eye muscles. When the eyes are tired, you can keep moving your eyes to promote the metabolism of the eyes, and eat more vegetables, fruits, and nuts containing lutein on weekdays.

2.Regular eye examination, prevention is greater than **, early detection and early prevention and control.

3.Outdoor activities, the child's eyes and body contact with sunlight, effectively inhibit the growth of the eyeball, thereby inhibiting the occurrence and development of myopia.

4.For children aged 3-4 years old, lutein can be added to 1 capsule a day. Children over 5 years old can supplement 2 capsules of lutein per day to meet the nutritional needs of the eyes and play a protective role.

There are several types of foods that contain lutein:

1. Egg yolk. We all know that eggs are called a whole nutritious food, from the shell to the yolk, which has very good nutritional value. Egg yolk is rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, which can make the eyes brighter after eating, and the more yellow the egg yolk, the more benefits it will be for the eyes.

2. Kiwi.

This is a fruit that is recognized as having the most lutein content and has a very good eye protection effect. Long-term consumption of kiwifruit can not only help make ** better, but also prevent eye fatigue. Moreover, the vitamins rich in kiwifruit are high antioxidants, which can help clear the abnormal accumulation of oxides in the body.

3. Corn. In the nutrients of corn is not only rich in lutein, but also rich in zeaxanthin, which has a very good effect on protecting the health of the eyes and can help prevent age-related macular degeneration.

4. Spinach and other green leafy vegetables.

The content of lutein in spinach and some green vegetables is also relatively high, but dark vegetables are the most abundant, such as spinach and cabbage, etc., and long-term consumption of these foods can effectively protect our eyes from damage.

However, research has also shown that lutein in food is not only absorbed and concealed, but also has a polar utilization rate, and must be supplemented additionally. Therefore, if you want to supplement lutein with empty pengkai, then in addition to food, it is best to supplement it through nutritional supplements such as Leyan Vision Nutrients.

Lutein is not suitable for children. Although the incidence of myopia in children and adolescents is high, lutein is not the first choice for the prevention and treatment of myopia in adolescents. Because the occurrence of myopia in adolescents is related to excessive eye fatigue, eye muscle spasm, and elongated eye axis, the main reason is not retinal and macular problems, but vitamin AD and B1 are more conducive to the development of the eyeball.

Although lutein is a health supplement, excessive intake of lutein will cause a burden on the liver, so it is recommended to use about 12 mg per day. Lutein is a good antioxidant that can protect the choroidal tissue of the macular retina, reduce photodamage, filter out blue light, and keep our vision normal.
