Zeaxanthin is a natural Antioxidant used by the body to detoxify and repair cells, particularly in the retina of the eye. It's showing promise in studies for the treatment of macular degeneration.
As a non-essential nutrient, Zeaxanthin is associated with no deficiency symptoms but it may provide significant benefit to eye health.
When taken in natural foods, Zeaxanthin is non-toxic, but no testing has been done on the long-term effects of concentrated supplementation.
Fruits and vegetables, particularly dark green vegetables are the most potent sources.
While supplements are becoming available, we recommend you just make sure your diet contains at least 5 servings a day of fresh fruits and vegetables. If you want a safe way to supplement Zeaxanthin, find a natural Lutein supplement from concentrated plant material because the two nutrients are almost always found together in nature.
If you're looking to nutrition for health and fitness, you probably want a healthy life...not just body or looks...but mind, body and spirit. You can renew your mind and spirit with God's help. He can heal the stuff your diet doesn't control. If you want His help, go to Healing From God.
