Research
The studies below reference peer-reviewed research on the key active ingredients in this product. These are ingredient-level studies.
Lutemax™ 2020 (Lutein + Zeaxanthin isomers)
AREDS2 Research Group, 2013 · JAMA Ophthalmology
Randomized, double-masked, placebo-controlled trial; n=4,203; 5 years; participants at risk for advanced age-related macular degeneration
Participants at risk for advanced age-related macular degeneration who received lutein and zeaxanthin supplementation did not show a statistically significant reduction in AMD progression in the primary analysis of the full cohort; a pre-specified subgroup analysis among participants in the lowest quintile of dietary lutein/zeaxanthin intake at baseline showed a 26% lower risk of advanced AMD compared to those in the highest quintile who received no supplementation.
Systematic review of RCTs; multiple included studies; participants with age-related macular degeneration or healthy adults
A systematic review found that participants who received lutein and/or zeaxanthin supplementation showed improvements in macular pigment optical density in the majority of included trials; effects on visual acuity were more variable across studies and populations.
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial; n=70; 12 weeks; healthy adults with regular digital screen exposure
Healthy adults with regular digital screen exposure who received Lutemax® 2020 (containing lutein and zeaxanthin isomers) showed statistically significant improvements in macular pigment optical density and self-reported visual fatigue scores compared to those who received placebo; results reflect outcomes in healthy adults and may not generalize to clinical populations.

How it works
Every ingredient, chosen with intention.
Here's what's in this bottle - and why each ingredient earned its place in the formula.
Lutein
from Lutemax™ 2020, a marigold-derived carotenoid extract
A yellow carotenoid pigment that accumulates in the macula and lens of the eye, where it acts as a natural filter for high-energy visible light.
Why we chose it
Delivered via Lutemax™ 2020, a standardized extract that guarantees a consistent 25% lutein concentration in every capsule, rather than an approximate amount from unstandardized raw material.
Zeaxanthin Isomers
two forms: zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin
Carotenoids that work alongside lutein in the macular pigment, meso-zeaxanthin concentrates at the center of the macula, zeaxanthin in the surrounding ring, together covering the full macular area.
Why we chose it
Lutemax™ 2020 provides both zeaxanthin isomers in a ratio that mirrors how they naturally appear in the eye, delivering the complete complement of macular carotenoids rather than lutein alone.
Carrot Powder
whole Daucus carota root
Provides naturally occurring beta-carotene and a broad spectrum of plant carotenoids from a whole food matrix, alongside the standardized extract.
Why we chose it
Including whole carrot powder means the formula carries the broader carotenoid spectrum that comes from real food, not just isolated compounds.
A daily plant-based gummy delivering 667mcg DFE of folic acid to support healthy cell development and the normal production of red blood cells.
Questions, answered
What customers often ask.
How long does it take to see results?
Macular pigment changes are gradual, research using Lutemax 2020 in healthy adults with regular screen use showed measurable shifts in macular pigment density at 12 weeks. Most people don't notice a dramatic change, but daily use helps give your eyes the carotenoids they rely on.
Should I take this with food?
Yes, with a meal that contains some fat. Lutein and zeaxanthin are fat-soluble carotenoids, meaning your body absorbs them better alongside dietary fat. A meal with olive oil, avocado, nuts, or any other fat source is enough.
What is Lutemax 2020 and why does it matter?
Lutemax 2020 is a trademarked marigold extract standardized to 25% lutein and 5% zeaxanthin isomers. Unlike unstandardized raw carotenoids, each capsule delivers a consistent dose. It's also the specific extract studied in clinical research on screen-related visual fatigue.
Can I take this alongside other eye supplements?
Lutein and zeaxanthin work well as a foundation for eye nutrition. If you're taking a broader multivitamin that already contains these carotenoids, check for overlap in the dose. For specific eye conditions, consult your healthcare provider before layering supplements.
Is this safe if I have an eye condition?
Please consult your ophthalmologist or healthcare provider before adding any supplement if you have a diagnosed eye condition. This formula is designed to support everyday nutritional needs of the eyes, decisions around clinical eye conditions require professional guidance.
Does this contain anything from animal sources?
No. Both lutein and zeaxanthin are extracted from marigold flowers. The capsule is vegetarian (cellulose), and all excipients are plant-derived. This formula is fully vegan, gluten-free, and gelatin-free.
