A double-blind, placebo-controlled study on the effects of lutein and zeaxanthin on neural processing speed and efficiency.
Lutein and zeaxanthin are major carotenoids in the eye but are also found in post-receptoral visual pathways. It has been hypothesized that these pigments influence the processing of visual signals within and post-retina, and that increasing lutein and zeaxanthin levels within the visual system will...
