Q
is leutin fatty acid or an amino acid
I'm a seasoned industrial engineer with a keen interest in machine learning. Here to share insights on latest industry trends.
Lutein is neither a fatty acid nor an amino acid; it's actually a type of carotenoid, which are natural pigments found in plants and are responsible for vibrant yellow, orange, and red colors in many fruits and vegetables. As an antioxidant, lutein plays a crucial role in human health, particularly in eye health, by protecting the eyes from harmful high-energy light waves like ultraviolet rays in sunlight. Unlike fatty acids, which are components of fats crucial for body energy and cellular function, or amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins, lutein is absorbed directly by the body in the same form it's found in food and is used mainly for its protective benefits against light-induced oxidative damage.
