As we age, our bodies cannot restore lutein and zeaxanthin in the muscle, so daily supplements are necessary. Taking lutein and zeaxanthin in truncated form helps replace these powerful antioxidants, which can help support healthy eyes and vision. * Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids found in vegetables and fruits. They act as antioxidants, protecting cells against the harmful effects of free radicals and helping to support healthy eyes and vision. The normal diet provides a 5:1 ratio of lutein and zeaxanthin to the body. Our product contains Lutemax 20/20 that matches that normal balance. * *These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
