Your body can't make lutein or zeaxanthin, and most of us don't eat enough leafy greens to get the amounts used in research. Ethos Heavenly soft gel capsules from the Swiss eye care brand trusted worldwide for over 25 years.
Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids, the natural yellow and orange pigments found in many fruits and vegetables. In plants, they help absorb excess light and protect against damage from strong sunlight.
In the human eye, lutein and zeaxanthin collect in the macula, at the centre of the retina. Together they form the macular pigment, which naturally absorbs blue light and acts as an antioxidant. The amount of macular pigment varies from person to person, and diet plays a big part.
Alongside a supplement, you can find lutein and zeaxanthin in:
The best-known research comes from AREDS2, a large study by the US National Eye Institute. It looked at people with intermediate age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and used a nutrient formula containing 10mg lutein and 2mg zeaxanthin a day, together with vitamins C and E, zinc and copper. Researchers found the formula reduced the risk of progression to advanced AMD in people who already had intermediate disease.
This research does not mean lutein and zeaxanthin prevent or treat eye disease in everyone. If you have AMD or any eye condition, speak to your eye specialist about whether a supplement is right for you.
Common age-related eye conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration often develop slowly, and some have no early symptoms. The best way to protect your sight is to:
See an optician promptly if you notice any change in your vision.
Take one capsule twice a day with meals, ideally with the meals that contain the most fat, as lutein and zeaxanthin are absorbed best with fat. Do not exceed the recommended daily amount.
Food supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.
