Zeaxanthin

Zeaxanthin, also known as Zeaxanthol, is one of the substances belonging to the group of carotenoids, which are plant pigments responsible for the yellow, orange and red colours of many fruits and vegetables. This substance is particularly important for eye health as it helps to improve vision and protect the eyes from damage caused by UV light and high-intensity light. Zeaxanthin can be found naturally in many foods, especially fruits, vegetables and egg yolks, but is also widely used in the food industry as a natural colouring agent.

Some of the most common products that contain zeaxanthin as an ingredient include products designed to improve eye health, such as dietary supplements for the eyes. These products choose zeaxanthin for its ability to help protect the eyes from damage and improve the quality of vision. Zeaxanthin is also used as an ingredient in some foods to enhance their nutritional value and potential health benefits for consumers. When it comes to using zeaxanthin as a natural colorant, it can be found in a wide variety of foods and beverages that require a strong orange or yellow color. These products include soft drinks, fruit juices, baked goods, confectionery and other sweets.
