Meso-zeaxanthin
Natural Carotenoid Formulations Validated by Science
A natural extract product rich in the carotenoid Meso-zeaxanthin
Carotenoids are well-known for their chemical and biological properties, especially in disease prevention. This carotenoid Meso-zeaxanthin is obtained from a natural source: marigold flower petals, through our patented processes.*
Meso-zeaxanthin is recommended as a food supplement to provide necessary amounts of this important carotenoid for human health and function. We obtain very little of this carotenoid from a standard diet; however, Meso-zeaxanthin is the most essential carotenoid at the macular. Patients with Age-related Macular Degeneration are deficient in Meso-zeaxanthin and need to obtain it from a supplement formulation.
