Description
Lutein Plus 20 mg with Zeaxanthin & Bilberry — Lutemax®
AlchePharma's Lutein Plus is built around Lutemax®, a patented and trademarked carotenoid extract sourced from marigold (Tagetes erecta) flowers — delivering both lutein and zeaxanthin together, in the ratios naturally found in leafy green vegetables. This dual-carotenoid delivery matters: the macula, the central region of the retina responsible for fine and focal vision, is preferentially built from exactly these two pigments, and the body cannot synthesize either one on its own.
Each capsule provides 20 mg of lutein and 1000 mcg of zeaxanthin, plus 25 mg of bilberry fruit powder (Vaccinium myrtillus) for its anthocyanoside content — compounds studied for supporting healthy blood vessel function and structural integrity around the eye.† Together, these three ingredients are positioned to support the eye's own natural defenses against a specific, modern stressor: the blue light emitted continuously by screens, devices, and overhead lighting.
What sets Lutemax® apart from a generic marigold extract is standardization and patent protection — most budget lutein products isolate lutein alone, in unstandardized concentrations. Lutemax® is formulated and trademarked specifically to deliver both carotenoids together, which is the combination studied in the published research on macular pigment.† AlchePharma sources this formulation through Reliance, keeping the ingredient story traceable back to a named, patented material rather than an anonymous bulk extract.
Available in 30, 60, or 120-capsule sizes to match how consistently you take it — because macular carotenoid support is a daily-use nutrient, not a one-time dose.
Key Benefits
-
Macular Support: Lutein and zeaxanthin are the two carotenoids the macula is built from, supporting its structure and function with daily use.†
-
Blue Light Defense: These carotenoids act as natural filters for blue light at the retinal level.†
-
Antioxidant & Vascular Support: Bilberry's anthocyanosides support healthy circulation to the small blood vessels supplying the eye.†
-
Patented, Standardized Source: Lutemax® guarantees a consistent lutein-to-zeaxanthin ratio batch to batch — not left to natural variation.
Differentiators
- Patented Lutemax® — not a generic, unstandardized marigold extract
- Delivers both lutein and zeaxanthin, not lutein alone
- Standardized ratio mirrors what's naturally found in green vegetables
- Bilberry added specifically for synergistic vascular/antioxidant support, not filler
- Gluten-free, non-GMO, and free of major allergens
- Available in 30/60/120-count sizes
Production & Ingredient Advantages
Sourced through Reliance's private-label supply chain, this formulation centers on a single named, patented raw material (Lutemax®) rather than an unbranded bulk carotenoid blend — meaning the potency and lutein:zeaxanthin ratio are standardized and traceable, not just declared. The formulation avoids synthetic dyes, artificial flavors, and added sugar, and keeps the excipient list short: cellulose, spinach powder, rosemary extract (a natural preservative), magnesium stearate, silica, and d-alpha tocopheryl succinate (natural vitamin E, used here as a stabilizer).
