Lutein and zeaxanthin are two well-known antioxidant carotenoids that play an important role in protecting eye health through the years.
Low levels of lutein and zeaxanthin in the eyes are associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts, while higher blood levels of these carotenoids are linked to an up to 57% reduced risk of AMD.
As we grow older, the concentration of Lutein and Zeaxanthin in our eyes declines. Unfortunately, our bodies cannot manufacture both Lutein and Zeaxanthin and thus, we need to obtain them from our diet or via supplements.
Daily supplementation with Lutein and Zeaxanthin has been tested to increase the levels of these 2 carotenoids in the eye and helps to provide notable improvements in the eye structure.
Supplementing with lutein and zeaxanthin can also improve your overall antioxidant status, which may offer greater protection against stressors.
In recent years, scientists have also discovered the beneficial effects of lutein and zeaxanthin on skin.
Their antioxidant effects allow them to protect your skin from the sun’s damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays.
One study showed that rats who received lutein- and zeaxanthin-enriched diets had less UVB-induced skin inflammation. Another study in 46 people with mild-to-moderate dry skin found that those who received 10 mg of lutein and 2 mg of zeaxanthin had significantly improved skin tone, compared to the control group.
Furthermore, lutein and zeaxanthin may protect your skin cells from premature aging and UVB-induced tumors.
