What exactly are lutein and cassia?

Cassia can clear the heart and eyes, lower blood lipids, laxative, etc. And also**.

It is a kind of Chinese herbal medicine, because it has the effect of brightening the eyes, so some people use it to soak in water and drink.

Cassia is also called grass cassia and horseshoe cassia is also called. It is a mature seed of cassia of a leguminous plant. It has clear heat and bright eyes. The effect of moistening the intestines and laxative, benefiting the five organs, helping liver qi, and benefiting essence. Make a pillow to cure the head and clear the eyes. There is also some treatment for high blood pressure.

I myself use Kangguo Zhen Lutein Ester Solution.

Lutein is usually found in plant tissues in the form of lutein esters, which are converted to lutein in the metabolic department of the human body.

Studies at home and abroad have shown that the photothermal stability of lutein ester is stronger than that of lutein, and the ability to scavenge free radicals, especially hydroxyl free radicals, is higher than that of lutein.

Natural lutein ester is an important carotenoid fatty acid ester, its stability is better than that of free lutein, and the absorption of it by the human body is also better than that of free lutein, and the bioavailability of lutein ester in the body is twice that of lutein.

At present, lutein ester has been widely used in the field of vision protection, and lutein ester is a representative of this aspect, which is very good for protecting eyesight and improving vision.

1. Differences in nature.

Lutein is a plant lutein, which is a very good antioxidant. Lutein ester is different from lutein in that it is a fatty acid that is a type of carotenoid.

Second, the difference in efficacy.

Lutein is a good antioxidant, then it has an anti-aging effect, it can fight cardiovascular sclerosis and other diseases. Lutein also contains more carotenoids, so it also has an eye protection effect, which can protect our eyes.

Lutein is not equal to lutein esters, which need to be digested by the human body into lutein before they can be absorbed, while lutein can be directly absorbed. In general, the market price of lutein is higher than that of lutein esters.

1. The composition of substances is different.

Lutein ester is an important carotenoid fatty acid ester, lutein is a plant lutein, orange-yellow powder, slurry or liquid, insoluble in water, soluble in organic solvents such as hexane, 2, different absorption methods.

Lutein ester needs to be digested by the human body into lutein before it can be absorbed, lutein is mainly found in vegetables, the darker the color of vegetables, usually the higher the content of lutein, the human body can directly absorb.

3. The scope of application is different from the first.

Lutein ester itself is a food colorant, lutein ester is found in spinach, lettuce, green cauliflower, kale, celery, okra, egg yolk, carrot, corn, pumpkin, papaya, melon, pomegranate, orange, orange, peach, etc. Zeaxanthin**Corn, egg yolk, orange, papaya, yellow pepper, wolfberry, etc.

Lutein itself is an antioxidant, such as kale, green cauliflower, spinach, asparagus, green lettuce, etc., all of which are rich in lutein, and egg yolk is also a good provider of lutein.

1. With lutein esters.

In contrast, lutein can directly enter the intestine and be absorbed by the body, while lutein esters must be hydrolyzed into free lutein in the human body before it can be absorbed into the bloodstream by the body. 2. Due to the difference in the molecular structure of the two, when taking the same dose, the lutein that can be absorbed and utilized by the human body is twice that of lutein ester, that is to say, in order to achieve the same effect in the human body, the dosage of lutein ester is twice the amount of lutein, and the cost is high. We recommend Laiyi brand lutein chewable tablets, which are water-dispersible lutein particles embedded in microcapsules, with the active ingredient particle size of nano and proven bioavailability through experiments.

High eye care supplements.

I have heard that lutein is poisoned, but I have never heard of lutein ester poisoning!

Just checked the literature, take a look!

Lutein ester is a "new resource food" approved by the Ministry of Health of the People's Republic of China

May 26, 2008 (Announcement No. 12 of 2008 of the Ministry of Health) document: The Ministry of Health approved lutein ester as a new resource food, which can be widely used in the field of food and medicine, with a daily dosage of less than 12mg, while the national standard GB2960 stipulates that lutein is used as a colorant or additive.

Lutein esters are more absorbable than lutein.

Experiments have proved that lutein is easily degraded in the acidic environment of the stomach, while lutein ester is not degraded, so the bioavailability of esterified lutein is about 65% higher than that of non-esterified lutein.

Cassia seed, the name of traditional Chinese medicine. It is the dried and mature seed of the leguminous cassia or cassia less, and is known for its ability to clear the eye. Ripe fruits are harvested in autumn, dried, seeded and impurities removed.

Cassia seeds are bitter, sweet, salty, slightly cold, and enter the liver, kidney, and large intestine meridians; Laxative, lipid lowering and brightening, **constipation, hyperlipidemia, hypertension. It clears the liver and eyes, dilutes water and laxatives, has a laxative effect, lowers blood pressure and lowers blood lipids.

Lutein ester is one of the safe** lutein esters that release free lutein during digestion. So the effect is the same, but according to research, the absorption rate of lutein ester is as high as 60% than lutein, and the lutein ester products on the market are Jianshijia bilberry lutein ester, etc., which are said to have a good effect.
