THE BEST LUTEIN & ZEAXANTHIN 

 MaQxan
Lutein, Zeaxanthin and Lutein Ester beyond Eye health

1. Skin Health (Cosmetic Benefits)

MaQxan range of Marigold Extracts – Lutein, Zeaxanthin, Meso-Zeaxanthin are also effective in “beauty within” concept cosmetic application. Many scientific studies reported that Lutein protected the skin against the damage induced by solar radiation. Studies also reported the beneficial effects of lutein intake on skin elasticity and hydration. We have optimized these carotenoid pigments to be compatible for use in beauty shots and functional beverages.

2. Cognitive functions (Brain Health)

Many scientific studies and some clinical studies have proved that Lutein is effective in improving memory and other measures of cognitive functions. Better eye health compliments stress management and also helps in improving sleep quality.

3. Cardiovascularlar health

Cardiovascular health partly depends on the activation of inflammatory cytokines, therefore, nutrients and drugs that favorably influence the cytokine cascade might effectively prevent Cardiovascular damage. Many studies in humans have also provided evidence for a beneficial role of Lutein supplementation, lowering the blood concentrations of inflammatory cytokines, while favoring the secretion of anti-inflammatory cytokines.  

4. Effects on Metabolic disorders

​

Lutein is also proposed in certain metabolic disorders. Specifically, its effects have been studied on lipid profile management. It is also known to improve insulin sensitivity.

5. Lung function

​

Lutein is known to have a beneficial effect on lung function. Higher intake of Lutein was associated with significant improvement in forced vital capacity and forced expiratory volume.

6. Bone Health

Regular Lutein intake is known to help increase bone mineral density and prevent bone loss in elderly subjects.

Healthy Eyes
The role of Lutein &  Zeaxanthin

Everyone wishes to enjoy an excellent vision throughout their lifetime. Routine eye checkups and a diet rich in carotenoids are important for healthy eyes. Carotenoids are pigments that give vibrant red, orange, yellow and green colors to fruits and vegetables.  

The macula is the pigmented area in the retina of the human eye. Since Macula has the highest concentration of photoreceptors in the retina; it produces the sharpest vision. Free Lutein, Zeaxanthin, and Meso Zeaxanthin concentrations are more in Macula and hence they are known as Macular Pigments.

Lutein and Zeaxanthin are generally fat-soluble carotenoids that function as anti-oxidants protecting cells from free radicals. About four decades of research establishes that Free Lutein, Zeaxanthin and Meso Zeaxanthin in macula filters shorter wavelength light ie blue light and prevents age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Lutein, Zeaxanthin, and Meso-Zeaxanthin are the three dietary carotenoids present in “macular pigment”. These three carotenoid pigments are responsible for our ability to perceive colors. The macular pigments selectively filter out image-degrading visible blue light for sharper vision. Lutein is also known as “the eye vitamin”.

Rising eye disorders, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and increasing eye health awareness among the general population, are expected to fuel the growth of the eye health supplements market.

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of irreversible severe visual loss in people of higher age and hence the geriatric population is at greater risk of eye disorders.

Almost all visible blue light passes through the cornea and lens and reaches the retina. This light may affect vision and could prematurely age the eyes.

Digital eyestrain: Blue light emitted from mobile phone screens and other digital devices can decrease contrast leading to digital eyestrain. Fatigue, dry eyes, bad lighting, or how you sit in front of the digital screen can cause eyestrain. Symptoms of eyestrain include sore or irritated eyes and difficulty focusing.

Retina damage: Some studies suggest that continued exposure to blue light over time could lead to retinal cell damage. This can cause vision problems like age-related macular degeneration.

Though the blue light exposure received from screens is small; the concern over the long-term effects of screen exposure is due to the proximity of the screens and the time spent looking at them.

​

Impact of COVID-19 on Eye health supplement.

With the new norm of daily life after the pandemic, people of all age groups are glued to the screens of digital gadgets resulting in increased screen exposure and invariably the blue light. Kids and the office-going population have been the most affected age groups where the blue light effect is more. This may lead to the rise in the number of people with eyesight disorders due to increased screen time.

Lifestyle & Diet: Observational studies have suggested an inverse relationship between dietary or serum lutein and risk for age-related macular degeneration and cataracts. The best way to guard against blue light damage is to reduce our level of exposure. Limit the time you spend on computers or with electronic devices, and take regular breaks from staring at LED screens. But with the inset of current lifestyle, avoiding all the screens is not feasible. It’s important to remember that our eyes have a natural level of Lutein and a healthy diet or supplement intake can help us keep these levels topped up. While hundreds of “superfoods” have been labeled over the years, nothing has shown as much promise as the carotenoid vitamin, Lutein for eyesight. Together with its sidekick, Zeaxanthin, this antioxidant works to protect both your eyes and skin.
