Zeaxanthin,China price supplier

zeaxanthin is less common in the human diet - coming from certain orange

and yellow fruits and vegetables. Meso-zeaxanthin is not found in the normal

human diet, and is thought to originate from lutein. The high concentrations

and specific uptake of the macular carotenoids is mediated by specific binding

proteins that draw them into the tissue and stabilize them.
Studies have shown that eating lutein- and zeaxanthin-rich foods or taking

supplements of these carotenoids can restore macular pigment density, which

declines with age. In fact, one such study of advanced macular degeneration

patients who were taking high-dose lutein supplements (4 mg or more per day)

experienced "normal" levels after a few months. A Harvard-led study demonstrated

that eating lutein-rich foods five days per week meant subjects were eight times

less likely to develop macular degeneration compared to those who consumed the

same foods just once per month.
