Lutein and zeaxanthin are two nutrients with a well-supported reputation for eye health. Exciting new science has added evidence for the role of lutein and zeaxanthin supplementation for brain health and performance as well.
Ideally individuals would consume sufficient lutein and zeaxanthin from foods, such as leafy green vegetables, corn and eggs. Unfortunately, the average diet in most parts of the world only contains about 1 to 2 mg of lutein and zeaxanthin.1-5 Many health professionals recommend 10 mg of lutein and 2 mg of zeaxanthin to support eye health and increase macular pigment density.6
Adding to the rationale for 10 mg of lutein and 2 mg of zeaxanthin, three new randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials using FloraGLO Lutein and zeaxanthin have shown benefits for brain health.
