Found this:

Lutein and zeaxanthin are powerful antioxidants that defend your body against unstable molecules called free radicals. In excess, free radicals can damage your cells, contribute to aging and lead to the progression of diseases like heart disease, cancer, type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer's disease.

Lutein is a carotenoid with reported anti-inflammatory properties. A large body of evidence shows that lutein has several beneficial effects, especially on eye health. In particular, lutein is known to improve or even prevent age-related macular disease which is the leading cause of blindness and vision impairment.

Sometimes brand really makes a difference.

...when I did a search for lutein and zeaxanthin at Amazon, that came up on their list — and I take it for my eyes already.

Would love to stop losing words!

My eye doctors have recommended AREDS2 to slow the advancement of macular degeneration.

So far so good. But does it have L&Z?

Thanks

I'll look into it but I have so many side effects to medications and over the counter drugs.

May have to switch to AREDs formula (much more expensive) but for now I take Ocuvite.

minerals and vitamins from other supplements. Thanks for mentioning this!

Can I get another pill down the gullet?

Seeing the eye doctor on Monday. I'm a believer in supplements, but haven't considered this one.

But I have had eye issues (retinal detachment) in the past and decided that the supplement was worth trying. The other benefits were a total surprise to me.
