What is Marigold?

What is Zeaxanthin?

Zeaxanthin (3,3'-dihydroxy-β-carotene) is also known as Zeaxanthin. Its molecular formula is C40H56O2 and molecular weight is 568.85. It belongs to isoprenoids and is an oxygenated carotenoid (xanthophyll).

Zeaxanthin is an isomer of lutein. Zeaxanthin is a new type of oil-soluble natural pigment that is widely present in green leafy vegetables, flowers, fruits, wolfberries and yellow corn. In nature, it often coexists with lutein, β-carotene, cryptoxanthin and other carotenoids to form a mixture of carotenoids.

Function of Zeaxanthin

1. Protect the macula together with lutein.

Zeaxanthin (Z) and lutein (L) are isomers, which are important carotenoids in the diet. After intake, they are distributed in different tissues and organs of the human body, and are selectively and highly concentrated in the macula of the retina. Together with the in-vivo metabolite of lutein, meso-zeaxanthin (MZ), they constitute the macular pigment of the macula region of the retina. It is usally be used in Eye Nutrient Supplements as Lutein.
