1. Filtering Blue Light and Ultraviolet Rays
Lutein and zeaxanthin can absorb blue light with wavelengths of 400-500 nanometers, reducing damage to the retina caused by high-energy light. Especially blue light from electronic screens and sunlight, prolonged exposure may accelerate the degeneration of retinal cells, while these two substances can form a “natural filter membrane” to protect the macular region.
2. Antioxidant Defense
As potent antioxidants, they neutralize free radicals and reduce oxidative stress damage to ocular tissues. The macula, with its high metabolic rate, is particularly susceptible to oxidative attacks. Supplementing with lutein and zeaxanthin can help slow down retinal cell aging.
3. Maintaining Macular Structure
The macula is the area with the sharpest vision, and lutein and zeaxanthin account for over 90% of total macular pigments. They help maintain normal macular function by stabilizing cell membrane structure and reducing inflammatory responses, thereby lowering the risk of diseases such as AMD and cataracts.
What is the difference between lutein and zeaxanthin?
Lutein: Lutein is a carotenoid widely found in plants such as vegetables, fruits, and flowers, particularly in green leafy vegetables and fruits where it is present in higher concentrations. As a type of carotenoid, it possesses various functions including antioxidant properties and the ability to enhance immune cell activity.
Zeaxanthin: Zeaxanthin, also known as “corn yellow pigment” or “corn yellow pigment substance,” is a lipid-soluble pigment component of the lutein family and a dihydroxy derivative of beta-carotene. It also belongs to the carotenoid family and is one of the primary pigment components of the macular region of the retina.
Properties and Functions
Properties: Both lutein and zeaxanthin are unstable when exposed to light and heat, and they are insoluble in water. They possess strong free radical scavenging capabilities. As lipid-soluble substances, their absorption and metabolism in the body require the participation of fats.
Functions: Both have health benefits such as antioxidant properties, prevention of macular degeneration, and protection of vision. They can absorb and filter high-energy blue light, reducing damage to the eyes, and help prevent and improve eye diseases such as macular degeneration and cataracts. Additionally, they can improve skin health, reduce skin aging and the appearance of wrinkles, and are beneficial for cardiovascular health.
Sources of intake and supplementation recommendations.
Natural foods: dark green vegetables (spinach, kale), egg yolks, corn, pumpkin, citrus fruits, etc.
Supplements: For people with inadequate diets or those at high risk (such as those who use their eyes for long periods of time or the elderly), supplements containing a 5:1 ratio (lutein: zeaxanthin) may be selected under the guidance of a doctor, with a recommended daily intake of 6-20 mg of lutein.
