Zeaxanthin
Diet-obtained Carotenoid
Zeaxanthin is a diet-obtained carotenoid primarily found in the macula of the eye. It exhibits potent antioxidant properties, which contribute to its role in protecting retinal pigments from oxidative stress. Research applications include studies on eye health, age-related macular degeneration, and the broader implications of carotenoids in human nutrition and antioxidant defense mechanisms.
