Osterly Market Lutein 30 mg with Zeaxanthin

30 mg lutein, stated as lutein.

Lutein at 30 mg with zeaxanthin, single-purpose, no supporting cast.

What it's for

Lutein and zeaxanthin build up in the macula and act as a pigment filter, absorbing short-wavelength light before it reaches the photoreceptors. Supplementing reliably increases that pigment density. Whether denser pigment protects vision over decades is the open question — it is plausible and it is not proven.

How to take it

• One capsule daily with a meal containing fat
• Consistency beats dose. Daily at 30 mg does more than occasional at 40
• Three to six months before macular pigment measurably changes
• If you already eat a lot of kale, spinach and egg yolks you are getting some of this from food

On the label

• 30 mg lutein stated
• Zeaxanthin named
• 120 capsules

What this is not

• Not a multi-nutrient eye formula
• Not a cure for anything
• Not a proprietary blend

The straight answer

This is lutein and zeaxanthin and nothing else. If you want the vitamins and minerals too, buy the Eye Support Formula — but check that its number is a blend weight, because it is.
