What is Zeaxanthin?

Product Applications
1. Antioxidant effect : Zeaxanthin neutralizes free radicals, reduces oxidative stress, and protects cells from damage. The conjugated double bond system in its molecular structure gives it a strong antioxidant activity.
2. Vision protection : Zeaxanthin helps protect the macular area of the eye, preventing eye diseases such as macular degeneration. It specifically absorbs blue light, which is most damaging to the retina, thereby protecting cones in the fovea.
3. Other health benefits : Zeaxanthin also improves cognitive function, reduces the risk of Alzheimer's disease, protects skin from UV damage, and improves skin hydration and elasticity.
