Can lutein soft capsules be taken for a long time? There are two meanings:

Some patients want to know whether there are any side effects of long-term use of lutein soft capsules and whether there are any side effects of long-term use of lutein.

Another group of patients want to know whether the capsule shell contains heavy metals and whether there are any major hazards if taken for a long time. Although the country has strict regulations on the heavy metal content in capsule shells, they still contain some content. There is no harm in short-term use, but if it is taken for more than three quarters or if it is taken by people with liver and kidney dysfunction, there will be a greater risk of heavy metal accumulation.

Especially lutein soft capsule products, this type of product is generally taken for more than two months or even one or two years. In this case, the risk of harm from taking lutein soft capsules would be very high. Therefore, lutein soft capsules should not be taken for a long time (please pay more attention to those who take it for more than three quarters or for children).

Tips for choosing lutein soft capsules:

Although the country has strict regulations on the heavy metal content in capsule shells, they still contain some heavy metals. Heavy metals can easily enter human cells, causing damage to internal organs such as the liver and kidneys and DNA. Accumulation in the human body is carcinogenic and may induce gene mutations.

According to the Chinese Pharmacopoeia, the capsule shell: chromium content is limited to 2ppm (MK/KG), lead content is less than or equal to 0.5MG/KG, cadmium is less than or equal to 0.3MK/KG, mercury is less than or equal to 0.2MG/KG, and arsenic is less than or equal to 2.0MK/KG).

When consumers choose lutein-related products, they need to consider how long the lutein product should be taken. If the period of use is longer, they need to consider whether lutein capsule products are suitable, especially for children whose bodies are in the developmental stage. Long-term use will have a certain impact on their physical development.

For children using lutein products, or patients with severe eye diseases who need to take them for a long time (more than three quarters of the year), it is recommended to choose products prepared as tablet candy preparations, such as the latest preparation method of lutein ester tablets on the market. (The Ministry of Health approved "Lutein Ester" as a new functional resource food in Document No. 12 of 2008).

The correct way to take lutein capsules:

1. The capsule shell cannot be "peeled" and eaten. Peeling the shell and eating it will not only affect the efficacy of the medicine, but may also burn the esophagus and cause stomach pain.

2. When taking capsule-type lutein products, do not take them with hot water. Instead, use cold boiled water or warm water at a lower temperature. The capsule shell is usually made of gelatin, which decomposes easily when heated. The capsule shell can get stuck in the throat or esophagus, causing burns.

3. Drink enough water to prevent the medicine from being "blocked" midway due to insufficient "power" and getting stuck in the throat or esophagus. Be sure to stand or sit when taking medicine, and do not lie down immediately after taking it to ensure that the medicine reaches the gastrointestinal tract smoothly.

4. After taking the capsule, it is best to drink a sip of water. If you feel a foreign body sensation in your throat or esophagus, you can drink a glass of cold milk or more warm water to reduce the damage of the drug to the pharynx and digestive tract.
