Zeaxanthin

Zeaxanthin is a carotenoid pigment found in many fruits and vegetables, particularly in green leafy vegetables. It is a potent antioxidant that can help protect the eyes from damage caused by harmful UV radiation and blue light exposure. Supplemental zeaxanthin has been found to improve visual function, including visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, and glare recovery time. It may also reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in older adults. Additionally, zeaxanthin has anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease and cancer.
