The effects of lutein on cardiometabolic health across the life course: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that higher dietary intake and higher blood concentrations of lutein are generally associated with better cardiometabolic health. However, evidence mainly comes from observational studies in adults, whereas large-scale intervention studies and studies of lutein during pregnancy and childhood are scarce.
