Zeaxanthin: Uses and Health Benefits

Zeaxanthinis a common carotenoi, that helps protect the eyes from the harmful effects of oxidation and light. Foods containing zeaxanthin include corn, egg yolks, orange peppers, orange juice, goji berries, spinach, kale, peaches, and papaya.1

Zeaxanthin is a carotenoid, which acts as an antioxidant—substances that protect the body's cells from damage. They are also thought to have cancer-fighting properties.2

This article explains how zeaxanthin works, the benefits it may have for eye health, and how people take its supplement form.

In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) does not regulate supplements like prescription drugs. This means some supplement products may not contain what the label says. 

When choosing a supplement, look for third-party tested products and consult a healthcare provider, registered dietitian nutritionist (RDN or RD), or pharmacist.
