Lutein is being offered in 5% to 80% powder. Zeaxanthin is available in 10% to 40% HPLC.

The company is touting the ingredients’ benefits, which may include aiding age-related macular degeneration and supporting overall eye health. Lutein and zeaxanthin have also shown benefits for skin health, including photoprotective properties and hydration.
