Eye Health
Protect vision and reduce macular degeneration risk
Eye health depends on lutein and zeaxanthin for macular pigment (blue light filter), beta-carotene as a vitamin A precursor for rhodopsin production, vitamin A for retinal function, and zinc for retinal metabolism and vitamin A transport.
Why This Matters
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss over 50. The AREDS2 study showed lutein + zeaxanthin supplementation reduced AMD progression by 25%.
