Carotenoids – MacuPrime’s Key Ingredients
Carotenoids are plant pigments responsible for the bright red, yellow, and orange colours in many fruits and vegetables. They are found in high concentrations in green leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale, and broccoli, as well as in rainbow-coloured fruits. While over 700 carotenoids exist in nature, only lutein, meso-zeaxanthin, and zeaxanthin are found in the macula at the back of the eye. Our bodies cannot produce carotenoids, so they must come from our diet.
What is the Macular Pigment?
The macular pigment is the yellow layer of the macula where the macular carotenoids, lutein, meso-zeaxanthin, and zeaxanthin are concentrated. Meso-zeaxanthin forms the epicentre of the macular pigment.
Monitor Your Daily Carotenoid Intake
Eating a variety of colourful, carotenoid-rich foods is important, but so is getting these nutrients consistently from high-quality sources. By combining a balanced diet with a supplement like MacuPrime, you can support your daily intake of these naturally occurring pigments.
It’s also helpful to know your current carotenoid level so you can make the right dietary choices. Schedule a LifeMeter carotenoid screening test today at a pharmacy or optician near you. Click here to see when we’ll be in your area.
