Oxygenated Carotenoid Lutein and Progression of Early Atherosclerosis
This study shows a protective effect of the carotenoid lutein (a cousin of beta carotene) on hardening of the arteries. Something to remember here…it is always beta carotene that gets all the press, and yet nature makes many types of carotenoids and that we need whole foods to get the variety that optimal health needs. Also…some of the best quality multivitamins will also contain a variety of carotenoids.
