Description
"Zeaxanthin Extract" is a supplement derived from carotenoid-rich plant sources, naturally present in leafy greens and brightly colored vegetables. It functions as an antioxidant, shielding the eyes from oxidative stress and absorbing blue light that can impact vision. This compound is often combined with lutein to enhance macular defenses and promote clarity. Valued for its role in eye health, zeaxanthin extract remains an important dietary source for maintaining visual sharpness and long-term retinal protection.

When To Take It
Zeaxanthin extract should be consumed with meals that contain fats, as it is fat-soluble and absorbs better in the presence of dietary fat.
Synergy and Antagonism
Zeaxanthin extract works synergistically with lutein, vitamin C, vitamin E, and omega-3 fatty acids (DHA, EPA) to support vision, blue light filtration, and antioxidant protection. High amounts of calcium, magnesium, or iron may reduce its absorption.
