What is Zeaxanthin ?

It is one of the most common carotenoid alcohols found in nature. It is important in the xanthophyll
cycle. Synthesized in plants and some micro-organisms, it is the pigment that gives paprika (made from bell
peppers), corn, saffron, wolfberries, and many other plants and microbes their characteristic color.Animals
derive zeaxanthin from a plant diet.Zeaxanthin is one of the two primary xanthophyll  carotenoids contained
within the retina of theeye. Within the central macula, zeaxanthin is the dominant component, whereas in the
peripheral retina, lutein predominates.Zeaxanthin supplements are typically taken on the supposition of
supporting eye health. Although there are no reported side effects from taking zeaxanthin supplements, this
possible benefit remains scientifically unproven, despite extensive ongoing research to define dietary or
supplemental effects of zeaxanthin and lutein.

Relationship with diseases of the eye

Several observational studies have provided preliminary evidence for high dietary intake of foods including
zeaxanthin with lower incidence of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), most notably the Age-Related
Eye Disease Study.

In general, however, there remains insufficient evidence to assess the effectiveness of dietary or supplemental
it or lutein in treatment or prevention of AMD, or the formation or progression of cataracts.Any benefit
is more likely to be apparent in subpopulations of individuals exposed to high oxidative stress, such as heavy
smokers, alcoholics or those with poor nutrition.

In 2005, the US Food and Drug Administration rejected a Qualified Health Claims application by Xangold,citing
insufficient evidence supporting the use of a zeaxanthin-containing supplement in prevention of AMD.

Main Function 

it  is a yellow pigment that migrates to the retina, center of the retina, and lens. This yellow pigment
filters harmful light, therefore protecting the sensitive cells of the eye. The damage that this light causes can
lead to AMD. It is also an antioxidant and why it aids in the prevention of cataracts as well. Cataracts are often
caused by the clouding of the lens through oxidation. Antioxidants are known to counteract those free radicals
causing oxidation. In terms of skin health, many know that UV rays can cause damage. Recent studies have
pointed out that helps to lessen the side of effects of sun damage, although more research is being
conducted.

In conclusion, having a diet high in zeaxanthin will lead to better eye and skin wellness. AMD and cataracts are
serious eye conditions, and this particular carotenoid is essential to keeping these issues at bay. Leafy greens,
eggs, fruits and other vegetables are a healthy part of any person’s diet for many reasons. The added benefit
that they include zeaxanthin is just one more reason to eat them. More Scientific research and development of  please check here
