Lutein is a xanthophyll and one of 600 known naturally occurring carotenoids. Lutein is synthesized only by plants and like other xanthophylls is found in high quantities in green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale and yellow carrots. In green plants, xanthophylls act to modulate light envergy and serve as non-photochemical quenching agents to deal with triplet chlorophyll, which is overproduced at very high light levels, during photosynthesis.
