If your eyes take a daily beating from screens, this pairs a full 20mg of **Lutein** with 4mg of **Zeaxanthin** to build the macular pigment that filters blue light and protects sharp central vision. That 20mg sits at the top of the studied range — double the 10mg used in the landmark AREDS2 eye trial — and the zeaxanthin doubles that study's amount too, so you're fully dosed for macular protection.
The 5-to-1 lutein-to-zeaxanthin ratio mirrors how these carotenoids naturally distribute across your macula — lutein covering the periphery, zeaxanthin concentrating at the fovea where vision is sharpest. Both are fat-soluble, so the softgel's sunflower-oil base aids absorption, and taking one daily with food, as directed, delivers the full dose in a single softgel.
A combination of 2 label ingredients.
An AREDS2 formula component; complete combinations may slow progression in selected adults with macular degeneration.
