Zeaxanthin and Lutein: Photoprotectors, Anti-Inflammatories, and Brain Food.
Demmig-Adams B, López-Pozo M, Stewart JJ, Adams WW 3rd. Demmig-Adams B, et al. Molecules. 2020 Aug 8;25(16):3607. doi: 10.3390/molecules25163607. Molecules. 2020. PMID: 32784397 Free PMC article. Review.
This review compares and contrasts the role of carotenoids across the taxa of life-with a focus on the xanthophyll zeaxanthin (and its structural isomer lutein) in plants and humans. Xanthophylls' multiple protective roles are summarized, with attention to the similarities …

Why is Zeaxanthin the Most Concentrated Xanthophyll in the Central Fovea?
Widomska J, SanGiovanni JP, Subczynski WK. Widomska J, et al. Nutrients. 2020 May 7;12(5):1333. doi: 10.3390/nu12051333. Nutrients. 2020. PMID: 32392888 Free PMC article. Review.
The distribution of diet-based macular xanthophylls and the lutein metabolite meso-zeaxanthin varies considerably by retinal eccentricity. Zeaxanthin concentrations are 2.5-fold higher than lutein in the cone-dense central fovea. ...In this review, we discuss how th …

Potential roles of dietary zeaxanthin and lutein in macular health and function.
Li X, Holt RR, Keen CL, Morse LS, Zivkovic AM, Yiu G, Hackman RM. Li X, et al. Nutr Rev. 2023 May 10;81(6):670-683. doi: 10.1093/nutrit/nuac076. Nutr Rev. 2023. PMID: 36094616 Free PMC article. Review.
Lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin are three xanthophyll carotenoid pigments that selectively concentrate in the center of the retina. Humans cannot synthesize lutein and zeaxanthin, so these compounds must be obtained from the diet or supplements, with …

A Brief Overview of Dietary Zeaxanthin Occurrence and Bioaccessibility.
Tudor C, Pintea A. Tudor C, et al. Molecules. 2020 Sep 6;25(18):4067. doi: 10.3390/molecules25184067. Molecules. 2020. PMID: 32899907 Free PMC article. Review.
As it exhibits no provitamin A activity, the dietary intake of zeaxanthin is not considered essential. However, its contribution to ocular health has long been acknowledged. ...Considering that the average dietary ratio of lutein to zeaxanthin favors the first, more …
