Zeaxanthin（Cat No.:R074635）, is a naturally occurring carotenoid pigment found in various plants, especially in colorful vegetables like corn, peppers, and leafy greens. It is also one of the major pigments responsible for the yellow coloration in fruits and vegetables. Zeaxanthin is a xanthophyll, a type of carotenoid known for its antioxidant properties. In the human diet, it acts as a dietary antioxidant and is believed to contribute to eye health by protecting against age-related macular degeneration. Zeaxanthin supplements are available for this purpose, although obtaining it through a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables is typically recommended for optimal health benefits.
