What is lutein and zeaxanthin
Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids that are naturally found in the retina of the eye, particularly in the macula. The human body cannot synthesize them on its own, so they are obtained through diet or supplements. They are the subject of ongoing scientific research regarding their role in eye health, but they currently do not have an approved health claim from the EFSA. They are presented here as components of the composition, without a claim of a specific effect on the macula or radiation filtering, regardless of the specific formula or manufacturer.
