User Reviews for lutein

Very bad reaction to Ocuvite, containing Lutein. Had to stop taking.

Have taken 40mg daily for several years. My Macular Degeneration has not progressed. My eye Doctor highly recommended it

I have had chronic diarrhea and some weight loss/has anyone else had this?

it is for prevention. i have not seen any changes

The problem is diarrhea

Since starting the lutein suppliment, I have developed spots in my vision. I have taken the suppliment for only 2 weeks and now have a constant head ache and vision problems. I am looking for others with issues from lutein.

My husband & I both took one 20 mg Lutein capsule last night at dinner. It made both of us have bad ringing in the ears, & we still have it this morning. This product may help the eyes but we certainly can't take it, so I'm sending it back to Puritan's Pride. I order quite a bit from them, & have always gotten good products.

I'm a 63yo male, my mother started macular degeneration in her late 70s, which I wish to avoid. I have taken lutein daily for several years and my eye specialist told me today that there is no sign of m.d. I'll report back in a few more years. I live in the UK and buy 6mg Lutigold from Holland & Barrett, a health food store.

I have had flashing lights in my eyes for many years now. I get them about three times a month but they only last a few minutes. Since taking lutein they have stopped. My eyes seem to be the same, or at least now worse.

My eye dr. Recommended this (meso z) form (22mg daily).after 3 weeks, I have heart palpitations, UTI, both verified by nurse practitioner! I am stopping them, going back (after a hiatus) to Ocuvite. Nasty stuff!

well, i am 45 now. i have been living with, i think, presbyopia. i have always been nearsighted, but since i turned 40, i noticed a sharp deterioration in focusing from seeing things up close to far away. for instance, my eyes cannot focus as they used to from looking at my smart phone to looking around the room. and doing so gives me a head ache. so i think this condition is presbyopia. so i go to a vitamin store, the lady says to me, try this, a bottle of 40 mg lucien. i was skeptical, but i thought, what the heck, why not!? so i took 1 tablet a day, i did notice a slight difference even after 1 week, but too slight to tell if the vitamin really worked or not. after week 3, yes, it really works! after looking at things near, such as my cell phone , and then looking up and around, my eyes focus, and i don't get a headache. well so far so good. it is week 3. 40 mg might be a lot though, and i am not sure of the side effects. but that is what lucien has done for me. by the way, this is an honest an honest review. i am a consumer, i am not being paid by anyone to write this. i also take a tablet of vitamin a , but i don't think the vitamin a is what has improved my vision because i have taken vitamin a before with no showable effects.Read More Read Less

It sucks. Just another scam... don't waste your money.

I AM ALLERGIC TO NATURAL FOOD COLORS SUCH AS THE ONES USED IN THE EYES FOR PHOTOS. I HAVE BEEN TAKING A PILL WITH 10 MG LUTEIN PER DAY AND I AM HAVING TERRIBLE PROBLEMS WITH ANGER IN THE EVENINGS. I WAS HOPING TO FIND LUTEIN IN A COLORLESS FORMULA, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE A YELLOW PRODUCT FROM WHAT I HAVE READ. GOOD GRIEF. I HAVE ONLY BEEN TAKING IT FOR TWO WEEKS SO I DONT REALLY KNOW IF ITS HELPING MY MACULAR DEGENERATION. BUT ITS CERTAINLY CAUSING A PERSONALITY MALFUNCTION. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO.Read More Read Less

I have had two retinal detachments and currently have cataracts. I have had several other eye surgeries for nerve and muscle damage. I have had a great deal of trouble over the years with floaters as a result of all the surgeries. Since I have started Lutein I have noticed that the floaters seem less problematic and the blurred vision from the cataract is improved.

just started

I have been taking Ocuvite for over a week now and have experienced nausea and upset stomach. One day I decided not to take the Ocuvite for a couple of days and had no nausea or upset stomach. This morning I took one pill after breakfast and the nausea reappeared. I believe I will ask my eye doctor to recommend something else, or not take anything at all.

I've been taking Lurein for 8 months now and my eyes have steadily got worse...why is this?

For my chronic dry eye syndrome, I have been using, consistently for 6 - 7 months, Nature's Bounty Lutein 20 mg, sometimes supplemented w/ VitaFusion's DailyVision (gummies) containing add'l 10 mg Lutein (as this also contains ZINC, I try not to use it too often as I think I'm sensitive to Zinc). For the most part I am VERY pleased with the IMPROVED EYE MOISTURE I've gained with the use of this suppliment...just hoping for that next lil miracle to take me to the next level back to good eye health.Read More Read Less
