NEW Australian research has reported that two natural antioxidants in the carotenoid family, lutein and zeaxanthin, may support the eye health of people who spend long hours in front of digital screens.
The trial investigated the effects of taking Lute-gen extract (lutein and zeaxanthin) for six months in 70 healthy adults who reported using screens for more than six hours per day.
