Avocado oil is high in lutein, a carotenoid and antioxidant commonly known as the “eye vitamin.” Humans must derive lutein from their diet because our bodies cannot synthesize carotenoids alone.
Studies show that diets high in lutein reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration and cataracts.
Including avocado and avocado oil in your diet significantly increases the availability of lutein for eye health.
