Lutein, Zeaxanthin and Vitamin E Reduce Risk of Cataracts

Lutein, Zeaxanthin and Vitamin E Reduce Risk of Cataracts Jan. 2008 Study

An observational 10-year study of more than 35,000 middle-aged U.S. women observed the women’s use of dietary supplements and occurrence of cataracts.*

The study found significant evidence that women who got more lutein, zeaxanthin and vitamin E were less likely to develop cataracts than women who are lacking intake of these nutrients. In fact, the women who got the most lutein, zeaxanthin and vitamin E were 18% less likely to get cataracts.
