Interactions
synergistic. Lutein and zeaxanthin are the two carotenoids that comprise macular pigment; lutein predominates in the peripheral macula while zeaxanthin concentrates in the fovea
synergistic. DHA is concentrated in retinal photoreceptors; lutein protects retinal lipids from oxidation; AREDS2 study included both for age-related macular degeneration prevention
