Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoid pigments and antioxidants that have long been known to help improve retinal health and preserve vision. Lutein is a xanthophyll and is considered to be one of 600 known naturally occurring carotenoids. It is manufactured by plants and xanthophyll is commonly found in green leafy vegetables such as kale and spinach. Zeaxanthin is a common carotenoid alcohol found in nature. Zeaxanthin is one of two principal xanthophyll carotenoids present in the retina of the eye.

Supplementation with Lutein and Zeaxanthin can help protect your eyes from harmful high-energy light waves like ultraviolet rays. Studies suggest that a high level of these substances in eye tissue is linked with better vision, especially in dim lighting. Recent studies have also shown that supplementation with 10 mg/day of lutein and 2 mg/day of zeaxanthin may produce enhanced brain blood flow and neural efficiency which may translate into improved cognitive functioning.†
