General: 10-20 mg lutein + 2-4 mg zeaxanthin/day; Cognitive Support: 12 mg lutein + zeaxanthin/day

What are the side effects of Lutein & Zeaxanthin?

Potential side effects include: Generally very well-tolerated, Mild skin yellowing at very high doses (carotenodermia, harmless).

What are Lutein and Zeaxanthin?

Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoid pigments found in leafy greens, egg yolks, and corn. While primarily known for eye health, these compounds also accumulate in brain tissue. Research suggests they may support cognitive function by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation in the brain.

What dosage of Lutein and Zeaxanthin has been used in cognitive studies?

Cognitive studies have used 10 mg to 20 mg of lutein and 2 mg to 4 mg of zeaxanthin daily. The AREDS2 formulation used 10 mg lutein and 2 mg zeaxanthin. Benefits in cognitive studies were typically observed after 6 to 12 months. Consult your healthcare provider.

What are the potential side effects of Lutein and Zeaxanthin?

Lutein and zeaxanthin supplements are generally well tolerated with few reported side effects. Very high doses may cause harmless yellowing of the skin (carotenodermia). They are fat-soluble and best absorbed with dietary fat. Consult your healthcare provider before supplementing.

About

Luteina e zeaxantina sono antiossidanti carotenoidi che si accumulano nel tessuto neuronale e aumentano i livelli di BDNF. Uno studio clinico randomizzato della durata di sei mesi ha dimostrato miglioramenti nella memoria composita, nella velocità psicomotoria e nell'attenzione sostenuta. Supportano la funzione cognitiva grazie alla loro azione neuroprotettiva.

How It Works

Carotenoid antioxidants accumulating in neural tissue; increase BDNF levels; reduce pro-inflammatory IL-1beta; protect neuronal membranes from oxidative damage.
