HelloPharmacist Scorecard of Lutein 5% by BulkSupplements.com
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, a yellow pigment found naturally in plants and in the eye. It's a carotenoid — a type of antioxidant — that your body doesn't make on its own, so it has to come from food or supplements.
The powder form also contains maltodextrin as an inactive ingredient to help with texture and stability.
Does it work?
Moderate evidence
Lutein is possibly effective for age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts — two common eye conditions. The evidence for retinitis pigmentosa, necrotizing enterocolitis, retinopathy of prematurity, and bronchopulmonary dysplasia suggests it is not effective for those conditions.
If you're considering lutein for eye health, AMD or cataracts are where the research suggests it may help.
How safe is it?
Well-documented data
Orally taken lutein from food and typical supplement doses is generally well tolerated, with doses up to 20 mg daily showing no adverse effects in trials. That said, there isn't enough data on the safety of higher supplement doses, so use caution and check with your doctor before starting.
Lutein is naturally present in breast milk, but safety of higher supplement doses hasn't been well studied, so if you're breastfeeding, talk it over 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. That said, run your exact medications through the search tool on this page to be thorough, and let your doctor or pharmacist know you're adding this product.
