Sight is one of the most important senses that allows us to admire the world around us and enjoy everyday moments. It is no wonder that each of us wants to keep it in the best possible condition throughout our lives. With these desires in mind, the dietary supplement Lutein & Zeaxanthin 60 Softgels from Now Foods was created. Lutein and zeaxanthin are natural carotenoids present in plants such as spinach, kale and broccoli. As the body cannot produce them on its own, they must be supplied with food. Their highest concentration is found in the macula of the retina, which is why they are called macular carotenoids. In the retina, their distribution is specific, with zeaxanthin predominating in the central part, known as the fovea, and lutein predominating in the peripheral regions. It is worth mentioning that lutein and zeaxanthin, along with β-carotene and lycopene, account for approximately 30% of all carotenoids present in the blood. In our supplement, they are extracted from the natural marigold flower, and the whole is packaged in a capsule form that is convenient for inclusion in the routine.
These carotenoids play a key role in protecting the eye, acting as natural filters that absorb harmful blue light radiation. In this way, they protect the delicate structures of the eye from oxidative stress and free radical damage. They also support the adaptation of vision after exposure to bright light, improve visual contrast and may reduce the risk of degenerative retinal diseases such as AMD (age-related macular degeneration) and cataracts. Lutein and zeaxanthin also have a positive effect on cognitive function, as they accumulate in brain tissues to support memory, concentration and speed of information processing. What's more, they can improve sleep quality by filtering out blue light emitted by electronic device screens and artificial lighting. This light interferes with the production of melatonin, the hormone responsible for falling asleep, leading to sleep problems. So, by protecting the retina from excessive blue light, lutein and zeaxanthin support the body's natural diurnal rhythm, making it easier to fall asleep and recover at night.
Take care of your eyesight, mind and restful sleep by choosing lutein and zeaxanthin!
