Lutein and zeaxanthin are termed as “Macular Pigments” as they are most prominent in the Lens and Macula regions of the eye and have been shown to play a prominent role in maintaining eye health. Lutein effectively controls free radical generation and the resulting oxidation damage, through its ability to filter out blue wavelengths of light like ultraviolet rays, which causes damage to the skin and eyes.
