Zeaxanthin is a common carotenoid, a pigment found in high concentrations in dark green vegetables, orange and yellow fruits, and egg yolks. It is also one of only two carotenoids found in the human eye and helps protect the eyes from oxidation and the harmful effects of light. Carotenoids act as antioxidants, substances that protect body cells from damage. They are also thought to have anti-cancer properties.
