Lutein & Zeaxanthin by Doctor's Best contains 20 mg lutein and 4 mg zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin per softgel, from Lutemax® 2020. The body does not make these carotenoids itself; they concentrate in the macula of the retina of the eye. They occur in the same free form as in vegetables and fruit. One softgel per day.

Macula lutea and the marigold

In the middle of the retina lies the macula lutea, Latin for yellow spot. The yellow colour comes from lutein and zeaxanthin; lutein owes its name to the Latin luteus, yellow. The raw material comes from the marigold (Tagetes erecta), known in Mexico as cempasúchil, the orange flower that adorns the altars on Día de los Muertos.

Made in the United States

Doctor's Best uses Lutemax® 2020, a marigold extract with lutein and the zeaxanthin isomers zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin. The substances are dissolved in sunflower oil.

Facts about this product

One softgel contains 20 mg lutein and 4 mg zeaxanthin isomers. Take one softgel per day, with or without food. A jar lasts two months.

Lutein & Zeaxanthin softgels by Doctor's Best

Lutein and Zeaxanthin softgels contain lutein and the two isomers zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin. The body itself cannot synthesize these compounds: we have to get them from food or supplementation. Lutein and the two isomers zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin are important carotenoids that aggregate in the macula of the retina of the eye.

Extracted from the marigold

Lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin are extracted from the marigold (Tagetes erecta). This is the same free form that also occurs in fruits and vegetables. As a result, the substances are well absorbed by the body. This product contains softgels for easy ingestion. Doctor's Best uses pure crystalline lutein. In part for this reason this product has been granted GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) status. The zeaxanthin also derives from patented Lutemax®.

Benefits

From patented Lutemax®, GRAS status. In the form of softgels. GMO-free.

08 / Frequently asked questions

What you still wanted to know.

Yellow carotenoids that the body cannot make itself. They are found in foods such as kale, spinach, corn and egg yolk, and accumulate in the macula, the central part of the retina.

A marigold (Tagetes erecta) extract from the Indian company OmniActive. Per softgel it provides 20 mg lutein and 4 mg zeaxanthin isomers: RR-zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin.

One softgel a day, with or without food. A meal containing some fat is a good time, as carotenoids are fat-soluble. A jar of 60 softgels lasts two months.

Yes. Multivitamins usually contain little or no lutein. If you combine several eye supplements, check that you are not doubling up on lutein.

According to the ingredients list, the softgel is made of gelatine. That is why we do not call the product vegetarian or vegan. The lutein and zeaxanthin themselves come from a plant, the marigold.
