There are approximately 600 carotenoids found in nature. Carotenoids are responsible for the bright yellows, reds, greens and oranges we see in fruits and vegetables including: yams, kale, spinach, watermelon, cantaloupe, bell peppers, tomatoes, carrots, mangoes and oranges. Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids, which are beneficial antioxidants that support your health and wellness. Lutein and zeaxanthin are the only two carotenoids that are concentrated in the macula, which is the part of your eye that processes what you see directly in front of you. They have been shown to support eye health and vision performance. Lutein and zeaxanthin are used by the body throughout life: during pregnancy, as infants, while our vision is developing; as we mature during childhood; and as our eyes become more vulnerable with age. Therefore it is imperative to get enough through our diet or supplementation.
The body cannot make macular carotenoids-dietary intake is the only way to get beneficial amounts
Most people are not eating the necessary servings of fruits and vegetables a day to get adequate amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin, but you can increase those amounts by taking a supplement

Lutein for Every Age is a consumer education initiative, built to inspire and empower people to better understand how lutein and its lesser known carotenoid partner, zeaxanthin—two nutrients found in foods—can positively impact our eye and brain health throughout life. The campaign’s purpose is to showcase the science behind these powerful nutrients, make people aware of how low our intake of these nutrients typically is, and introduce creative ways to increase our consumption of these powerhouse nutrients no matter how old or young we are.
The human body doesn't produce lutein and zeaxanthin, so we rely on our diet to get them. However, Only 1 in 10 US adults and 1 in 11 US children eat the recommended serving of fruits and vegetables per day. This is why supplementing your lutein and zeaxanthin intake is important to overall health.
