At 20mg per softgel, this delivers twice the **Lutein** dose used in the landmark AREDS2 trial — the largest study to date on carotenoids for eye health. You're well above the 10mg clinical minimum, putting you at the top of the researched range for protecting macular health and filtering blue light.

The softgel format is a good match here since lutein is fat-soluble and absorbs better when delivered with oil. You also get 800mcg of **Zeaxanthin**, which works alongside lutein in the macula — though at less than half the 2mg dose used in AREDS2, it's a supporting player rather than a full clinical dose.

Take this with a meal that contains some fat to maximize your absorption. Lutein builds up in your macula over weeks of consistent use, so daily adherence matters more than any single dose — and at one softgel per day, the routine is easy to stick with.
