HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lutein 20 mg by SuperSmart
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 has one active ingredient: African Marigold extract, which is a natural source of lutein. Lutein is a carotenoid — a plant pigment your body uses, particularly in the eyes.
The product also contains Acacia Gum as an inactive ingredient (a binder and filler).
Does it work?
Couldn't assess
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
African Marigold extract from food amounts is generally well tolerated, and no adverse effects have been reported at higher amounts — though a full safety review hasn't been completed. The concentrated essential oil can irritate skin.
During pregnancy, the safety of medicinal use hasn't been established, so it's best to avoid it. The same goes for breastfeeding — there isn't enough data, so medicinal use isn't recommended while nursing.
If you're pregnant or breastfeeding and interested in lutein, talk with your doctor or pharmacist for personalized advice.
Meds to double-check
No known interactions
No interactions are documented in our data for the ingredients we could check.
The bottom line
Scorecard at a glanceFully disclosed formula with no assessable stated purpose. No medication interactions are currently documented, and safety information is well characterized.
If you're looking for a lutein supplement and want to avoid interactions, this product has no documented ones in our data. That said, the safety data on concentrated forms during pregnancy and breastfeeding is thin, so those situations warrant a conversation with your pharmacist or doctor first.
