What is zeaxanthin?

Zeaxanthin is one of the natural carotenoids, and its main function is to assist the retina to filter blue light, thereby protecting the cone cells in the fovea of the retina to effectively reduce retinal oxidative damage. Zeaxanthin is abundant in plant tissues such as green vegetables, corn, wolfberry, and tart berries, and in some non-photosynthetic bacteria. Zeaxanthin cannot be synthesized in the human body and needs to be obtained through a daily diet. After research and improvement of the extraction process, people have extracted rich lutein and zeaxanthin from marigold flowers, which also provide a lot of raw materials for eye care products. A large number of studies have shown that zeaxanthin has anti-oxidation, prevention of macular recession, treatment of cataracts, prevention of cardiovascular diseases, enhancement of immunity, slowing down of atherosclerosis and other health effects, and is closely related to human health.

 

What are zeaxanthin benefits?

The marigold extract Zeaxanthin and lutein are isomers, which are important carotenoids in the diet. After ingestion, they are distributed in different tissues and organs of the human body and are selectively and highly concentrated in the retina and macula of the eyes. Zeaxanthin together with meso-zeaxanthin, a metabolite of lutein in the human body, together constitute the macular pigment in the macular region of the retina. Macular pigment is known as the "filter" inside the human eye. On the one hand, it can help the retina filter harmful blue light; on the other hand, it can quench singlet oxygen, scavenge free radicals, and interrupt lipid peroxidation, thereby reducing the damage to the eye caused by these factors. Therefore, zeaxanthin powder helps maintain the normal and integrity of the macular structure, maintains healthy visual function, and reduces the risk of age-related eye diseases.

 

In our daily diet, most of the zeaxanthin from food sources is in free forms, such as in vegetables, it mainly exists in free form, and in-plant flowers or fruits, it mostly exists in esterified form. Zeaxanthin is mainly found in orange vegetables or fruits. Dark vegetables such as spinach and kale also contain zeaxanthin, but their content is much lower than lutein. Insufficient dietary intake of zeaxanthin is likely due to a low intake of vegetables and fruits. In addition, since zeaxanthin cannot be synthesized by the body, additional supplementation is particularly important.
