Lutein and Zeaxanthin Improve
Cognitive Function
M
ost lutein and zeaxanthin studies have
focused on eye and vision health, but
new evidence suggests these two carotenoids
have cognitive benefits as well.
More Efficient Brain Power
Doctors in this study thought lower levels of
the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin would
cause the brain to use more energy to
function during normal tasks. Researchers
asked 40 adults, age 65 to 86, to recall pairs
of words they had learned earlier. During the
recall activity, doctors analyzed brain activity
via functional magnetic resonance imaging
(fMRI).
The fMRI revealed that those with higher
levels of lutein and zeaxanthin needed less
brain activity to complete the word-recall task
compared to those whose lutein and
zeaxanthin levels were lower.
"On the surface, it looked like everyone was
doing the same thing and recalling the same
words," doctors said, "but there were
significant differences in brain activity based
on carotenoid levels."

Neuropsychological Society; October)
Better Memory and Executive
Function
In this large study, doctors measured
cognitive function in 4,076 independently-
living adults, age 50 and older. Those with
higher levels of lutein and zeaxanthin had
better scores on overall cognition, memory,
and executive function-the ability focus
attention, control impulses, and remain
mentally flexible. Zeaxanthin in particular
improved processing speed.
Discussing the findings, doctors said this
study is unique for its very large size,
representing a broad sample of older adult
populations. The researchers have also
completed and plan to release later in 2017 a
clinical trial testing the cognitive effects of
lutein and zeaxanthin supplements in a
population of healthy individuals.
