Overview
•Lutein and zeaxanthin are well-tolerated carotenoids with established safety records at 20 mg daily across extensive human trials.
•Excessive daily carotenoid consumption over extended periods may cause carotenodermia, a completely benign and reversible yellowing of the skin.
•Bile acid sequestrants and fat-absorption inhibitors like orlistat may decrease intestinal absorption of lutein and zeaxanthin.
•Formulated free from synthetic colours, preservatives, and common allergens including gluten, dairy, soy, fish, and nuts.
•Adults who are pregnant, nursing, or using prescription medication should confirm dietary supplement use with a medical provider.
