lations and lutein was measured in the plasma at several time intervals. After a wash out period of 28 days, the study was repeated with the alternative formulation.
The researchers found that after 14 hrs, total plasma lutein increased by 126% with the starch matrix FloraGLO Lutein 5% compared to only 7% with the alginate matrix Lyc-O-Lutein 20%. After 672 hours, the area under the curve for total lutein was 1.3-fold higher for the starch-matrix FloraGLO Lutein 5% compared to the alginate-base
