HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lutein 20 mg by AOR Advanced Orthomolecular Research Premium
Our pharmacy team’s full take, with four database checks built into the cards below — a summary of what is known, not a grade of the product itself.
What’s inside
Full disclosure
This product contains one active ingredient: lutein 20 mg per capsule. Lutein is a natural pigment found in leafy greens and other foods; your body deposits it in the eye, where it may help protect your vision.
The capsule shell, safflower oil, and MCT oil are inactive ingredients that help deliver the lutein.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Lutein is possibly effective for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts — the two eye conditions where the evidence leans toward benefit. For retinitis pigmentosa, retinopathy of prematurity, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and necrotizing enterocolitis, the research suggests it is possibly ineffective.
Talk with your eye doctor about whether lutein fits your specific situation.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Orally, lutein is generally well tolerated. Doses up to 20 mg daily — the amount in this product — have not produced adverse effects in the data we hold.
Lutein is naturally present in breast milk, but safety data on higher supplement doses during pregnancy and lactation is limited; the available evidence rates it likely safe, though your doctor or pharmacist should weigh that against your individual situation.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check in this product.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with some supporting evidence for its stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
Lutein 20 mg may be worth considering if you're concerned about age-related macular degeneration or cataracts and want to support your eye health through supplementation. It's generally well tolerated at this dose.
