What is Zeaxanthin
Zeaxanthin is a fat-soluble pigment component of lutein and a dihydroxy derivative of β-carotene. Zeaxanthin is rich in plant tissues such as green vegetables, corn seeds, wolfberries and sour berries, as well as some non-photosynthetic bacteria.

Applications of Zeaxanthin
Oxidative damage is caused by the imbalance of antioxidant protection and free radical metabolism, which can lead to many diseases, such as cardiovascular, cancer, aging, inflammatory response, cataracts and a series of neurological diseases. As early as 30 years ago, researchers discovered that β-carotene has the ability to quench singlet oxygen. As research continues, it has been discovered that not only beta-carotene has antioxidant capabilities, but most carotenoids have antioxidant capabilities. The chemical structure of carotenoid molecules is closely related to their antioxidant activity. The size of the oxidative activity depends on the number of conjugated double bonds in their molecular structure and the structure of the tail group.
Its own molecular structure characteristics make it have strong antioxidant properties. There are 11 conjugated double bonds in the molecular structure, forming a large conjugated system. The presence of these conjugated double bonds enables it to block free radical chain transmission, thus having strong antioxidant activity. In the body, although it cannot be converted into vitamin A and does not have vitamin A activity, it is an important and powerful antioxidant available to the human body. It can reduce chemically active substances such as free radical singlet oxygen and photochemistry. The reactivity of the sensitizer acts as an antioxidant.
