Avocados contain two very important carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin. As free radicals are produced in our daily lives, carotenoids act as antioxidants, removing them from the body. Both lutein and zeaxanthin are essential for eye health. Both of these carotenoids work well on their own, but even better together. Only these carotenoids are found in the
macula, which is essential for vision. Research shows a strong link between macular degeneration and the formation of cataracts.
