Zeaxanthin

Coming later

A carotenoid that is not lutein. Research has not started, and this ingredient is not in the directory yet.

Zeaxanthin is a xanthophyll carotenoid distinct from lutein. Marigold extracts can contain both. An ingredient standardised to zeaxanthin is not a lutein grade, and the reverse is also true.

No supplier has been reviewed for a confirmed or unconfirmed listing.
