Zeaxanthin is the dominant component found within the central macula of the eye helping to moderate light energy and support the overall health of the macula. This carotenoid is most commonly found in plants, egg yolks, and animal fats thus giving them their rich yellow, orange, and red pigmentation. PIVEG extracts this natural pigment for application in the nutritional supplement, cosmetic, and pet health industries.
