Lutein 20 mg
Swanson Ultra Lutein 20 mg is a Non-Nutrient/Non-Botanical supplement that delivers 20 mg of Lutein per softgel. Lutein is a carotenoid widely recognized for its potential benefits in supporting eye health, particularly macular health. The 20 mg dosage provided by this product is at the higher end of the range commonly used in clinical studies for eye health support, suggesting it may be clinically relevant. Despite this, the product received an N+ Score of 45, resulting in an 'F' grade, placing it in the below-average tier. While the ingredient and its dosage are transparent and potentially effective, the low N+ Score indicates other quality factors may be suboptimal. This product may appeal to individuals seeking a higher dose of lutein.
