Search Results for "Zeaxanthin"

Zeaxanthin is a yellow carotenoid that concentrates in the eye’s macula, acting like internal sunglasses to filter blue light and quench oxidative stress. By building up macular pigment, it can sharpen how you see—especially under glare—and may slow age-related decline when used with lutein. There’s also emerging evidence it can support certain aspects of cognition, likely via its antioxidant and neuroprotective roles in neural tissues.

• Support eye health and macular protection
• Improve visual performance under glare and enhance contrast sensitivity
• Support cognitive function in adults

Evidence

Lutein is a yellow carotenoid that concentrates in the macula of your eyes—think of it as built‑in “optical sunscreen” that filters blue light and helps vision under glare. It also acts as an antioxidant in retinal and skin tissues, where it may support visual performance and offer modest photoprotection. Researchers often study lutein together with its sibling zeaxanthin because both accumulate in the macula.

• Support macular/eye health
• Improve visual performance under glare and low light
• Support cognitive function (attention, memory)
• Enhance skin photoprotection and even skin tone
