ZeaLutein® Granules is a proprietary blend presented in a distinctive brick red color, composed of 1% Zeaxanthin and 5% Lutein. These ingredients are naturally sourced from Tagetes erecta (marigold), and Piper nigrum (black pepper), respectively. The blend offers a ratio of Zeaxanthin to Lutein (1:5) that is inspired by the natural composition found in the human eye. The inclusion of piperine aims to enhance the bioavailability of these carotenoids. ZeaLutein® Granules is designed to support vision health as part of a balanced diet and lifestyle, by contributing to the maintenance of normal eye function and helping to protect the eyes from the impact of free radicals."
The role of nutrition, including carotenoid intake, is receiving increasing attention for its potential in providing eye health. A recent research at the University of Utah Medical School, Utah, US, reveals that the protective effect of the combination of Lutein and Zeaxanthin is more potent than the carotenoids individually (Li et al., 2010).
Several studies have described the beneficial effects of dietary
carotenoids in providing wholesome nutrition to the eye and promoting
macular health. The current recommendation is consumption of foods rich in dietary
carotenoids to help support eye health.
