Source Naturals Zeaxanthin with Lutein 10 mg. - 60 Capsules

What Zeaxanthin and Lutein Do
The carotenoids Zeaxanthin and Lutein are naturally available in the body but only in the eye. There are more than 600 carotenoids found in nature but only about 20 found in the human body and only Zeaxanthin and Lutein are present in the macula of the retina. These two antioxidants are thought to naturally protect the eye from UV damage by acting as antioxidants that reverse the oxidative damage. Because eyes are exposed to sunlight for long periods of time, basically the whole time one is awake or outside, these antioxidants are important to have in the eye. Antioxidants are also known to prevent or slow down the natural aging process and thus can also help to keep the eyes healthy as the body ages.

Where Carotenoids Are Extracted From
Carotenoids are naturally occurring in nature and can be found in many fruits and vegetables. Zeaxanthin and Lutein can be found in foods such as broccoli, collard greens, kale, spinach, oranges and corn. The Source Naturals supplement uses Zeaxanthin and Lutein derived from marigold flower extract. Marigold flowers contain both sources of carotenoids which makes it an ideal ingredient for eye supplements and industry leaders have been united in their approval of marigold flower extract as a great source of eye supplement raw ingredients.
