Lutein supplements

Half of the 2,493 lutein supplements in the NIH label database that print an amount list 3 mg or less per serving; the middle half list 0.5 mg to 10 mg (DSLD version 9.4.0, January 2026). The 52 products whose only supplement ingredient is lutein list a median of 20 mg.

How much lutein do supplements contain?

The median product lists 3 mg per serving. One in ten lists 0.25 mg or less, one in ten 20 mg or more. The amount printed most often is 10 mg (285 products).

Which products list the most lutein?

On-market products, per serving, with a plausible amount: the rule leaves out likely entry slips, such as an amount far beyond every other label with no %DV or strength on the label to back it (each product page still shows its own amount, marked).
