Lutein for Eye Health

When a lot of friends started blogging about it, I became curious about Super Lutein.

I discovered that Lutein is a phytonutrient (plant-based nutrient) that helps in protecting our eyes, boost immunity and supports healthy skin, tissues and blood.

No wonder my eyes were feeling poorly from all that reading and working on the computer.

 We have been eating broccoli, cucumbler, spinach and lettuce but at most TWO servings per day.



That's when I appreciate the fact that 3 soft gel capsules of Super Lutein, I get:
- FOUR servings of fruits and
- FIVE servings of vegetables from 6 colours of fruits and vegetables.

What happened after I started consuming the Super Lutein?

In the first week, I started on a 1 capsule x 3 times a day but didn't feel anything spectacular.

In the second week, I increased my dosage to 2 capsules x 3 times a day (6 capsules) and that was when I felt the positive effects after about 2 weeks.
First, I experienced a lot of gunk (dry crust and then, thicker mucus?) coming out of my eyes for a few days. 
After that, my eyes felt comfortable and moist, which I didn’t feel after using eye drops (prescription or over-the-counter ones). The best part is that I had:
  • NO dry, red eyes after a bout of reading.
  • NO dry, red eyes after sleeping in an air-conditioned room.
A month later, I was pleased to experience freedom from menstrual cramps and the expulsion of a lot of blood clots!
