Carotenoid found in the macula, protects against blue light damage
We rank Zeaxanthin by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.
Zeaxanthin is a type of carotenoid, which is a natural pigment found in plants and animals. In the human body, it is found in the macula, the small central area of the retina that allows us to see fine details clearly.
It is primarily used to protect the eyes from damage caused by blue light, which is high energy light emitted by the sun and digital screens. By filtering this light, it helps maintain the health of the central vision.
To create the supplement, manufacturers extract the pigment from natural sources like marigold flowers. The extracted oil is then refined and dried into a stable powder, which is then placed into capsules or tablets for sale.
This ingredient is generally mid-range in price. This is because the extraction process from plant sources is more involved than producing simple minerals, but there is enough global supply of the raw materials to keep costs from becoming premium.
