DralVis Lutein
Lutein + Zeaxanthin · an ingredient-led editorial overview
A closer look at carotenoids
Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids found in colourful plants. This page explains their place in the DralVis Lutein formula and sets that information beside the wider food habits that make nutrition meaningful, without suggesting any single capsule replaces a varied diet.
Lutein, from Tagetes erecta marigold extract, is a natural carotenoid included as part of the DralVis Lutein daily supplement formula. Zeaxanthin, from marigold extract, is a carotenoid naturally present in leafy vegetables, included as part of the DralVis Lutein daily formula.

Reading the label before you read the page
We encourage every reader to treat the physical product label as the primary source and this page as a plain-language companion to it. A short checklist can make that comparison faster.
- Confirm the marigold extract source and the milligram amount printed for lutein and zeaxanthin.
- Check the %NRV column against your own understanding of a typical daily diet.
- Note the serving size stated on the label, since ingredient tables are shown per capsule.
- Look for the food-supplement wording; this formula is not described as a supplement anywhere on this site.
Where carotenoids show up in everyday meals
- Leafy greens such as spinach, kale and rocket are common dietary sources of lutein.
- Sweetcorn and egg yolk are frequently cited food sources of both lutein and zeaxanthin.
- Citrus fruit and seeds are more commonly associated with vitamin C and vitamin E intake respectively.
- A varied plate, rather than a single ingredient, is generally the simplest way to approach these nutrients through food.
"Naming an ingredient clearly, and stopping exactly where the evidence stops, is the whole discipline of writing a formulation page."
