At Kemin, we are proud to offer ZeaONE®/OPTISHARP™ Natural Zeaxanthin, meticulously crafted to support vision and enhance overall eye health. Designed specifically for supplement manufacturers, ZeaONE®/OPTISHARP™ Natural Zeaxanthin is your key to formulating high-quality eye health supplements that deliver tangible benefits to your customers.

The Science behind ZeaONE®

Zeaxanthin, a powerful carotenoid found naturally in common vegetables like corn, squash, and peppers, plays a vital role in maintaining optimal eye health. Together with lutein, zeaxanthin forms macular pigment, which acts as a shield against potentially damaging blue light and helps enhance the quality of vision.3-6 Our ZeaONE®/OPTISHARP™ Natural Zeaxanthin is carefully extracted from marigold flowers, ensuring purity, potency, and efficacy in every batch.

Science-Backed Benefits

When formulated into a supplement alongside FloraGLO® Lutein, ZeaONE®/OPTISHARP™ Natural Zeaxanthin offers a multitude of benefits for eye health:

  • Accelerates eye recovery from intense light exposure1,2
  • Enhances visual acuity, even in individuals with 20/20 vision3-6
  • Absorbs excess blue light, protecting against oxidative damage7,8
  • May increase neural processing speed, supporting overall cognitive function9

Key Consumer Insights

Research recommends a daily intake of at least 10 mg of lutein and 2 mg of zeaxanthin to promote optimal eye health. However, most individuals fall short of these recommendations10, leaving their eyes vulnerable to age-related decline and oxidative stress. ZeaONE®/OPTISHARP™ Natural Zeaxanthin offers a convenient solution to bridge this dietary gap, providing a reliable source of these essential nutrients for improved vision and long-term eye health.
