Lutein & Zeaxanthin 관련 노화성 인지 저하

C 근거 소규모 연구에서의 근거는 제한적이지만, 일부 긍정적인 신호가 존재합니다.

A 6-month RCT showed macular xanthophylls increased serum BDNF, reduced IL-1beta, and improved composite memory, psychomotor speed, and sustained attention. Macular pigment optical density correlates with cognitive performance.
