SOOID INGREDIENT
Zeaxanthin
Lutein's partner in light defense.
What it is
Zeaxanthin is lutein's structural partner, a carotenoid that occurs alongside it in nature and is almost always studied and consumed as a pair with it.
What it contributes to
- Works alongside lutein to help absorb blue light and UV before they damage skin
- Adds to the body's pool of antioxidant carotenoids
- Supports the same photo-defense pathway as lutein, for a combined effect
Studied together with lutein in randomized, placebo-controlled trials on oral carotenoid intake and skin photoprotection.
