What’s inside this formula?
Carlson’s Lutein — 6 mg is listed here in the lutein & zeaxanthin collection. This article looks at the selected 60 soft gels pack, then puts its ingredients into context.
One soft gel supplies 6 mg lutein and 1 mg zeaxanthin extracted from marigold flowers. The selected bottle contains 60 servings.
Check the original label ↗Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoid pigments found in the retina and in foods. They are also ingredients in the multinutrient AREDS2 formula studied for particular stages of age-related macular degeneration. A supplement containing only these two ingredients is not equivalent to that full formula or automatically appropriate for every eye-health goal.
The pack details above come from the manufacturer. Ingredient research below does not establish the effects of this exact product or independently verify its contents.
Where might it be useful?
Normal retinal pigments
Lutein and zeaxanthin are present in the macula, the part of the retina used for detailed central vision.
A specific formula has clinical evidence
The complete AREDS2 formulation can slow progression in certain people with intermediate AMD or late AMD in one eye.
What the research can — and cannot — tell us
The National Eye Institute does not recommend AREDS2 for preventing AMD in people without it or for stopping early AMD becoming intermediate AMD. The evidence concerns a complete formulation and selected patients. It does not establish that this individual-ingredient product improves eyesight or treats every eye condition.
What deserves your attention?
The panel contains both carotenoids; compare their separate amounts. The soft gel includes beef gelatin and beeswax, so it is animal-derived.
Suitability comes before strength
An eye-care professional should determine AMD stage and whether a full AREDS2 formula is appropriate. Check the entire formula and medicines; avoid treating new visual changes as a supplement-shopping problem.
Dietary details for this product
