Zeaxanthin is preferably found in the very center of the macula, whereas lutein is found throughout the macula. Both lutein and zeaxanthin are antioxidants with an affinity for quenching the detrimental effects of light on tissues. Thus, lutein and zeaxanthin are exactly where they need to be to protect the retina from damage caused by light. During normal aging, levels of lutein and zeaxanthin in the macula decrease. Unlike most other eye health products, Schiff's Lutein contains zeaxanthin, and in a 1:5 ratio with lutein, as found in foodstuffs and the body. In fact, one tablet of Schiff's Lutein contains as much lutein and zeaxanthin as a healthy daily diet rich in vegetables. Schiff's Lutein also includes beta carotene (Vitamin A precursor), Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Zinc and Copper to help promote healthy eyes. Schiff's Lutein helps maintain macular and retinal health. Primary Uses: Eye health Secondary Uses: Antioxidant, Immune system support
