Our article on Zeaxanthin - Nutrients

Zeaxanthin belongs to a group of bioflavins called carotenoids. It is a pigment found in most herbs, fruits, and vegetables. It is derived from marigolds. Zeaxanthin may provide anti-inflammatory protection and aid in antioxidant production.

This bioflavin is found in dark green and leafy vegetables, yellow fruits and vegetables, as well as egg yolks. It gives a yellow/orange color but in some cases, is covered over with chlorophyll. 

Zeaxanthin is fat soluble meaning that it is best absorbed when taken with food that is rich in fat. It can also be found in fatty acid supplements, like fish oil and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). It is recommended for the following populations, women and overweight individuals. It is also extremely important for eye health.

Our Tips For Choosing A Supplement

Dietary supplements in the U.S. are unregulated and consumers have had only a 1 in 5 chance of buying a product that contains the actual ingredients stated.. Because of this industry wide problem, people should choose a manufacturer that is pharmaceutical GMP compliant. These facilities comply with the most stringent manufacturing standards, to eliminate the possibility of harmful contaminants and to also make sure that you are getting the amount of ingredients you actually paid for.

Be sure the product does not contain any fillers or additives (examples include: sugar, starch, gluten, silica (sand!) or any artificial colors or flavors of any kind.

Featured Company That We Personally Use

Xtend-life Natural Products is a company in New Zealand that manufactures a variety of nutritional supplements. Among them is their signature product called Total Balance, an all in one supplement capsule that contains within it over 70 needed nutrients that contains not just Zeaxanthin, but also many other important vitamins, minerals, herbs, amino acids, enzymes, and speciality nutrients as part of one comprehensive formula. Three formulas are available, one for women, one for men, and a unisex formula.

Xtend-life supplements are made only with standardized herbal extracts. This is because this is where the active ingredients of the herbs are found.

They are also made using the world’s strictest standards for the making of dietary supplements - pharmaceutical GMP compliance. A certificate of analysis- COA is given to every batch of supplements that is produced. This guarantees the potency of every batch. 

Xtend-life Natural Products recommends that all customers, both present and potential customers consult with their physician before including their supplements in their daily regimen. The reason for this is that some of the nutrients could reduce the effectiveness of any medications they may already be taking. Xtend-life Natural Products are worth looking into, especially if you have health concerns, but again, consult with your physician first.

We personally use Total Balance, and have done for over 2 years now with excellent health results. We have noticed increased energy levels, elevated moods, improved concentration, and a general sense of over all well being.
