Macular carotenoids

Understand lutein, zeaxanthin and eye-supplement labels.

What you need to know

Macular carotenoid supplements vary in their ingredients and amounts. A general eye supplement is not automatically equivalent to the formula tested in the AREDS2 studies. An eye specialist can explain whether a supplement is relevant to your diagnosis.

This is an educational guide. Sanara is not taking orders or preorders. Compare the actual product’s label, suitability and total cost before buying from a retailer.

What to check before buying
