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

Luteína e zeaxantina são antioxidantes carotenóides que se acumulam no tecido neural e aumentam os níveis de BDNF. Um ensaio clínico randomizado de seis meses demonstrou que suportam a função cognitiva, com melhoras em memória composta, velocidade psicomotora e atenção sustentada em adultos saudáveis.

How It Works

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