A new study by US-based researchers show that adding plenty of dark leafy greens and yellow or orange vegetables to athletes’ diets could help improve their ability to see a target at a distance. According to researchers, brightly colored foods that are high in lutein and zeaxanthin help improve eye health and functional vision.
The data from modeling and empirical studies show that higher macular pigment in the retina will improve the ability to see at a distance. The value proposition of this is quite incredible for athletes! Since adequate amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin may be hard to obtain from diet alone, supplementation could be ideal.
Vitafoods Europe 2023 addressed the global surge in metabolic health issues.

Increased screen time and blue light exposure has led to growing concerns about eye health across all age groups. Long-term use of digital screens can lead to Digital Eye Strain (DES), which is characterized by symptoms such as blurred vision, headaches, and dry eyes.
These issues may have long-term implications for vision. Moreover, as individuals age, they face significant risks associated with age-related eye health conditions like cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy & age-related macular degeneration, which can ultimately lead to vision loss. Vision impairment & health conditions of the eye are pervasive global health concerns, and are linked to a reduced quality of life.
Although vision loss is often associated with aging, young people are increasingly susceptible to the eye health issues due to the increased use of digital devices and the rise of e-sports. Consequently, ophthalmologists recommend the use of nutritional supplements to promote optimal vision and minimize the risk of developing long-term eye problems. Consumers are now aware of the harmful effects of blue light on their eyes and are actively looking for nutritional supplements as a potential solution to maintaining good eye health. Recognizing the magnitude of the problem, the nutrition industry is focusing on developing products that not only treat age-related eye health conditions but also address issues such as digital eye strain that is becoming increasingly common, due to our modern lifestyle that in entrenched in digital screens.
Additional to this, the industry players are not only introducing nutritional supplements to the eye health market, but they are also prioritizing the development of innovative products using new technologies. These developments are aimed at improving the absorption of the actives, as well as for optimizing delivery systems, thereby supporting overall eye health while addressing the complex eye-brain connection.
Antioxidants, particularly carotenoids such as lutein and zeaxanthin, have emerged as prominent candidates for eye protection from UV rays and blue light damage. These powerful antioxidants have been shown to prevent age-related macular degeneration, improve vision, and reduce eye strain. Additionally, they have a remarkable ability to cross the blood-retinal barrier, providing effective protection against external environmental factors and internal stressors, while supporting long-term eye health.
Introducing Lute-gen®, our award-winning lutein and zeaxanthin complex, backed by extensive clinical research. Lute-gen® has been scientifically proven to significantly improve Macular Pigment Optical Density (MPOD), thereby reducing the risk of various eye disorders such as Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). Additionally, it has been shown to significantly increase Central Foveal Thickness (CFT), improve visual acuity, and protect against damage caused by oxidative stress and blue light exposure.
But that’s not all! Lute-gen® goes beyond its eye health benefits. It has also demonstrated remarkable support for a healthy Eye-Brain-Axis (EBA), significantly enhancing episodic memory, visual memory & visual learning, making it a complete solution for visual-health support.
