Lutein and zeaxanthin

Lutein and zeaxanthin are located in the macula, or center of the retina. The body uses lutein and zeaxanthin to absorb high-frequency blue light, which can damage eye tissue. Lutein also plays a role in regulating cellular health. By performing both functional and protective roles, these antioxidants reduce the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and also serve to slow its progression if the disease is already underway. Both need to be replenished regularly because the body does not produce them from other nutrients, and our bodies store less of them as we age.

 

High concentrations of lutein and zeaxanthin are found in dark green leafy vegetables—especially spinach, kale, turnip greens, collard greens, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts—as well as fruits, including oranges and mangoes, and orange/yellow vegetables, such as corn, squash, and carrots, and even egg yolks. Parsley also has some of these nutrients.
