Lutein and zeaxanthin are yellow-orange pigments from the carotenoid group. They are found in plants and are supplied to our body with them through a well-balanced diet.

Naturally occurring together, they also accumulate in our body, concentrating mainly in the retina. They exhibit antioxidant activity against reactive oxygen species and mitigate the effects of oxidative stress. Lutein and zeaxanthin protect the eyes from the sun’s harmful rays, acting like sunglasses.

A study published in the journal Nutrients shows that high levels of lutein in the blood can reduce the risk of cataracts by 27% and zeaxanthin by up to 37%.
Regular consumption improves visual performance not only in people suffering from cataracts or AMD, but also in healthy people. Lutein improves visual acuity in people with macular degeneration and slows its progression. It is also beneficial in diabetic retinopathy and retinal pigmentary degeneration.

FEATURES:

– protects eyes from harmful UV radiation
– prevents retinal degeneration
– reduces the risk of cataract formation
– reduces the feeling of ‘tired eyes’
– improves visual acuity
– has an antioxidant effect

A review of 2020 studies showed that neutralising these free radicals over time may protect the retina from light-induced damage. Lutein may also act as a natural sunscreen, absorbing excess light energy. There are research results showing that supplementation with this carotenoid improves liver health in cases of liver ailments, which is primarily related to the beneficial effects of lutein on the antioxidant status of this organ.

Supplying the body with zeaxanthin is not only advisable for older people, but also for professional drivers or workers. Taking care of the diet slows down the ageing process of the eyes and protects against macular degeneration.
