Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids, which are the name for a group of natural pigments that give yellow, orange, and red colors to various fruits, vegetables, and other plants.
In plants, they are crucial for light absorption in photosynthesis and protection against damage caused by harmful light rays and free radicals.
They also play a similar role in our eyes, as they are naturally present in the retina, more specifically in the macula, which is responsible for sharp vision. Lutein acts as a filter there, allowing only rays with specific wavelengths to enter the eye while blocking UV rays and blue light.
The HealthyWorld brand capsules combine both carotenoids, which work best when used together. They are actually 2 different isomers, differing only in the position of the double bond.
Both lutein and zeaxanthin in the capsules are obtained from a completely natural source - African marigold extract (Tagetes erecta) in a ratio of 200:1.
