If you're looking to support your eye health, this gummy delivers 20mg of **Lutein** and 4mg of **Zeaxanthin** per 2-gummy serving — matching the doses and 5:1 ratio used in the landmark AREDS2 clinical trial. That's the study that confirmed these carotenoids help protect the macula from blue light damage and age-related decline, so you're getting a clinically validated dose here.
Both ingredients are sourced from marigold flower extract, which is the standard and well-absorbed botanical source. What this means for you: the gummy format makes this easy to take with food, which also helps absorption since lutein and zeaxanthin are fat-soluble.
The tradeoff with gummies is the added sugar — 3g per serving. With 45 servings per container, you're covered for about six weeks. If you want to avoid the sugar entirely, capsule-based lutein products deliver the same dose without it.

Composition is proprietary and not disclosed — 'Natural Flavors' can include several hundred different compounds depending on the target flavor profile, including hexane-extracted constituents and proprietary carrier solvents. 'Natural' is a regulatory definition (21 CFR §101.22), not a safety guarantee.
