Zeaxanthin 10mg – 60 vegan capsules

High-dose zeaxanthin

This dietary supplement from Fairvital provides you with high-dose, natural zeaxanthin from day flower extract. One capsule contains 10mg zeaxanthin.

Bioavailability

Zeaxanthin is a natural, orange-yellow plant pigment from the group of carotenoids and the group of phytochemicals.
Over 800 different carotenoids are now known, 50 of which have provitamin A activity, which means that they can be converted in the body into vitamin A, including the well-known beta-carotene. However, unlike this, zeaxanthin cannot be converted into vitamin A.
What all carotenoids have in common are their antioxidant properties and fat solubility. For this reason, it makes sense to always take food supplements that contain carotenoids with a meal or to always eat fruit and vegetables with some oil or butter, so that the valuable vital substances can be optimally absorbed by the body.

Zeaxanthin in food

As a phytochemical, zeaxanthin is primarily found in plant foods, with relatively high levels found in green leafy vegetables such as spinach, collard greens, lettuce and parsley. Other good sources of zeaxanthin are red bell peppers, corn and tangerines.

Zeaxanthin can also be present in animal foods via the food chain, for example egg yolk or salmon.

Occurrence in the organism

In the body, zeaxanthin is always present together with lutein, since the two carotenoids are structurally hardly different and are closely related to each other. It can be found in all tissues and organs in different concentrations: e.g. in fat tissue, liver, testicles, ovaries, lungs, muscles or in the skin.

Most interestingly, it is present with lutein in the yellow spot (macula) of the eye and can also be found in the eye lens.
