A: Please do not consume S. LUTEIN if you are allergic to wheat, fish or gelatine, which are ingredients present in small quantities. The wheat germ used is crushed before the oil is extracted and refined; as such, the oil may contain a small amount of protein. Please be especially careful if you are allergic to wheat.
If you are worried about any allergy, please start by taking only 1 capsule per day and gradually increase the amount to the daily recommended usage of 3 capsules over a period of 1-2 weeks if no allergic reactions occur.
However, should you experience any allergy symptoms, please stop using the product immediately and consult your regular doctor.

High temperature→Capsules may become misshapen, possibly causing the contents to leak.
Dryness→Capsules may harden and become brittle.
Humidity→Capsules may stick together.
A: S. LUTEIN does not contain added vitamin K. However, 3 capsules of S. LUTEIN contain vitamin K in trace amounts of around 0.08μg, which are transferred entirely from the raw ingredients.

There have been no reports of drug interaction (such as to result in decreased or increased effect) between carotenoids and Warfarin.

This quantity is also not expected to be problematic. Should you have concerns, please consult your regular doctor.
A: It is normal for the palms of the hands and soles of the feet to turn yellowish, similar to the reaction from eating too many oranges. This is due to the presence of carotenoids in fruits and vegetables. It is a natural reaction and will not negatively affect your health in any way. If you are concerned, please reduce your daily consumption. Reducing daily consumption, or stopping altogether, will reverse said symptoms.
A: Carotenoids, the main raw components of S. LUTEIN, are naturally derived ingredients. As such, the colour of the capsules may vary depending on their place of origin or time of harvest. This does not affect the quality of the product.
