Eye Vision Benefits of Lutein and Zeaxanthin Our eyes, just like the rest of our body, need proper nutrition to stay healthy and functioning at their best. Two very important eye nutrients are lutein (LOO-teen) and zeaxanthin (zee-ah-ZAN-thin), both types of carotenoids (kuh-RAH-teh-noids).
New Research: Carotenoids Reduce Risk of Macular Degeneration Progression New research recently published online in JAMA Ophthalmology show that high intake of carotenoids, specifically lutein and zeaxanthin, reduce the risk of advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD) progression.
MPOD technology measures progression of Macular Degeneration Many scientific studies on age-related macular degeneration (AMD) have shown that patients with high levels of lutein and zeaxanthin vitamins have a lower risk of developing the disease as they age.
