認識葉黃素
葉黃素 Lutein是目前已發現的六百多種天然類胡蘿蔔素中的一種,屬於光合色素。葉黃素本身是一種抗氧化物,可以吸收藍光等有害光線,因為在葉黃素的發色團有共軛雙鍵的結構,所以具有吸收光線的特點。
葉黃素的特性
葉黃素結構中的『共軛雙鍵』很容易被光和熱給氧化降解掉,同時在酸性環境下也不穩定。
葉黃素軟膠囊劑型的優點
Lute-gen專利技術,幫助降低氧化降解
你知道端粒是什麼嗎? 端粒(Telomere)是一種位於細胞染色體末端的結構,可保護染色體基因不受破壞。因此,保護好端粒,就可以延緩衰老!
- Lute-gen 專利技術保護細胞內端粒,延緩衰老、維持細胞機能,包括視神經的感光細胞。
- Lute-gen 屢次獲殊榮經臨床證明可顯著提高健康成年人的黃斑色素光學密度(MPOD)水平。
- 提高MPOD水平可能降低年齡相關黃斑變性(AMD)風險,並減輕因氧化和藍光造成的傷害。
黃斑色素光學密度 (MPOD) 的密度實驗
在一項包含 93 名受試者的隨機、雙盲、安慰劑對照臨床試驗中顯示葉黃素的潛力。該研究將葉黃素和玉米黃質的組合 Lute-gen 與安慰劑進行了比較,六個月後實測結果 :
- 接受 Lute-gen者的黃斑色素光學密度 (MPOD) 有改善。
- 安慰劑組的黃斑色素光學密度 (MPOD) 則沒有變化。
Lute-gen臨床有效實證
- Lute-gen 非常適合擔心因為藍光對眼睛造成傷害的人。
- 黃斑部是由葉黃素、玉米黃素和中玉米黃素所構成,又稱為「黃斑色素」,會在藍光到達受體之前吸收藍光,幫助降低黃斑部病變與視網膜傷害。
- Lute-gen 可促進葉黃素與眼睛之間的健康。
- Bio-gen Extracts 的研究指出Lute-gen對中央窩(視覺敏銳處)的影響 :
- 黃斑色素水平在黃斑中央窩區域達到峰值,光線直接照射在提供最清晰圖像的視錐細胞上。
- Lute-gen的受試者在黃斑方面有顯著的變化 ; 安慰劑組的試驗過程中厚度沒有變化。
- Lute-gen 經臨床證明可顯著提高健康成人的黃斑色素光密度 (MPOD) 水平。 增加 MPOD 水平可降低老年性黃斑變性 (AMD) 的風險,並減輕因氧化反應和藍光造成的損害。
因此,無論是為了防範藍光、年齡相關黃斑部退化的影響,還是改善整體視覺健康,Lute-gen 都是一個明確的選擇!
