Lutein and Zeaxanthin: Benefits & Dosage

Lutein and zeaxanthin are two important carotenoids, which are pigments produced by plants that give fruits and vegetables a yellow to reddish hue. They’re structurally very similar, with just a slight difference in the arrangement of their atoms. Both are potent antioxidants and offer a range of health benefits. However, lutein and zeaxanthin are best known for protecting your eyes.

 

They’re Important Antioxidants

Lutein and zeaxanthin are powerful antioxidants that defend your body against unstable molecules called free radicals. In excess, free radicals can damage your cells, contribute to aging and lead to the progression of diseases like heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer’s disease. Lutein and zeaxanthin protect your body’s proteins, fats and DNA from stressors and can even help recycle glutathione, another key antioxidant in your body. Additionally, their antioxidant properties may reduce the effects of “bad” LDL cholesterol, thus decreasing plaque build-up in your arteries and reducing your risk of heart disease. Lutein and zeaxanthin also work to protect your eyes from free radical damage. Your eyes are exposed to both oxygen and light, which in turn promote the production of harmful oxygen free radicals. Lutein and zeaxanthin cancel out these free radicals, so they’re no longer able to damage your eye cells. These carotenoids seem to work better together and can combat free radicals more effectively when combined, even at the same concentration.

 

They Support Eye Health

Lutein and zeaxanthin are the only dietary carotenoids that accumulate in the retina, particularly the macula region, which is located at the back of your eye. Because they’re found in concentrated amounts in the macula, they’re known as macular pigments. The macula is essential for vision. Lutein and zeaxanthin work as important antioxidants in this area by protecting your eyes from harmful free radicals. It’s thought that a reduction of these antioxidants over time can impair eye health. Lutein and zeaxanthin also act as a natural sunblock by absorbing excess light energy. They’re thought to especially protect your eyes from harmful blue light.  Below are some conditions with which lutein and zeaxanthin may help:

• Age-related macular degeneration (AMD): Consumption of lutein and zeaxanthin may protect against AMD progression to blindness.
• Cataracts: Cataracts are cloudy patches at the front of your eye. Eating foods rich in lutein and zeaxanthin may slow their formation.
• Diabetic retinopathy: In animal diabetes studies, supplementing with lutein and zeaxanthin has been shown to reduce oxidative stress markers that damage the eyes.
• Retinal detachment: Rats with retinal detachments who were given lutein injections had 54% less cell death than those injected with corn oil.
• Uveitis: This is an inflammatory condition in the middle layer of the eye. Lutein and zeaxanthin may help reduce the inflammatory process involved.

 

May Protect Your Skin

Only in recent years have the beneficial effects of lutein and zeaxanthin on skin been discovered. Their antioxidant effects allow them to protect your skin from the sun’s damaging ultraviolet (UV) rays. A two-week animal study showed that rats who received 0.4% lutein- and zeaxanthin-enriched diets had less UVB-induced skin inflammation than those who received only 0.04% of these carotenoids. Furthermore, animal studies show that lutein and zeaxanthin may protect your skin cells from premature aging and UVB-induced tumors.

 

Lutein & Zeaxanthin Supplements

Lutein and zeaxanthin are widely recommended as dietary supplements to prevent visual loss or eye disease. They’re usually sourced from marigold flowers and mixed with waxes but can also be made synthetically. These supplements are especially popular among older adults who are concerned about failing eye health. Low levels of lutein and zeaxanthin in the eyes are associated with age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts, while higher blood levels of these carotenoids are linked to an up to 57% reduced risk of AMD. Other people may benefit from lutein and zeaxanthin supplements, as dietary intakes of carotenoids are often low. Supplementing with lutein and zeaxanthin can also improve your overall antioxidant status, which may offer greater protection against stressors.

 

The Bottom Line

Lutein and zeaxanthin are powerful antioxidant carotenoids, found in high amounts in dark-green vegetables and available in supplement form. Daily doses of 10 mg of lutein and 2 mg of zeaxanthin may improve skin tone, protect your skin from sun damage and reduce the progression of age-related macular degeneration and cataracts.
