"Three intervention studies using MRI indicated that 10 mg lutein intake over 12 months had a positive impact on healthy older adults’ brain activities during learning, resting-state connectivity, and gray matter volumes. Four cross-sectional studies using MRI suggested that lutein was positively associated with brain structure and neural efficiency during cognitive tasks. Conclusion: Although only nine studies that used similar datasets were reviewed, this systematic review indicates that lutein has beneficial effects on healthy older adults’ brain health."

I suspect vit c is no longer sold to general public. I used 4 50mg tablets to make a drop of mb colorless. Now even 20 tablets don't make it colorless. Vit c is fake in Russia. I bet it's the same abroad.

In Europe (Germanspeaking) you get 100g Powder bottles in Supermarkets. This year raised its price from €1.95
(since I begun to use in 2009) €2.25. It still makes Lugols solution colorless. So still available here. I never used it in tablet form, since I took 25 g/d all these years.

You are lucky. I now buy only citrus fruits for vitc on the food market. In this case i am at least sure to get some real vitc here.
