What is lutein?Where does Lutein origin from?

The names of both of these yellow colored phytonutrients reflect their natural hue with lutein being derived from the Latin word luteus meaning golden yellow while zea refers to the corn genus and xantho- is derived from a Greek word that means yellow. While these carotenoids both have yellow pigments, they are found concentrated in foods of others colors, notably leafy green vegetables, since these foods also feature a host of other phytonutrients pigments in addition to lutein and zeaxanthin.

Lutein is a yellow plant pigment in the carotenoid family. Yellow and orange vegetables have only trace amounts of lutein; large amounts are found in green vegetables like broccoli, collard greens, kale, and spinach. Lutein is also available as a supplement made from marigold flowers. Lutein is part of the zanthophyll(Zanthophyll family of pigments, which also includes astaxanthin and canthaxanthin). Because they do not have the pro-vitamin A activity of beta carotene, these "other" carotenoids have been over-looked until recently.
