Lutein & Zeaxanthin

Macular pigments for people who stare at rectangles.

Lutein and zeaxanthin concentrate in the retina. AREDS-style data is why they appear in eye formulas. They are not a license to skip outdoor light or an ophthalmologist. Egg yolks still count.

How to use

10 mg lutein + 2 mg zeaxanthin with a fat-containing meal.

Editorial rating ★ 4.1

One of the more defensible “screen-age” supplements. Still get your eyes checked.
