Three figures are worth checking on any lutein product: the stated mg of lutein, the stated mg of zeaxanthin, and whether both zeaxanthin isomers are named. Lower-cost products often provide lutein alone, or list a marigold extract weight without breaking down the carotenoids at all.

Nutrigo Govizion provides 10 mg of lutein and 2 mg of zeaxanthin, formulated with Lutemax® 2020.

FAQ

What are lutein and zeaxanthin?

Carotenoids — plant pigments found in foods such as kale, spinach, corn and egg yolk, and the pigments that occur naturally in the macula. The body cannot produce them.

What is Lutemax® 2020?

A patented extract derived from marigold flowers. It delivers all three macular carotenoids — lutein, RR-zeaxanthin and RS-zeaxanthin — in the 5:1 ratio found naturally in the eye.

When should I take it?

Once daily with food. Carotenoids are fat-soluble, so a meal containing some fat helps with absorption. Read more about when to take your supplements here. 

Is it halal certified?

Yes, certified by NZIDT, which is recognised by JAKIM.
