Lutemax^® 2020 Lutein

Award-winning, globally recognized Lutemax 2020 is a botanical-derived marigold extract providing macular carotenoids—lutein and enhanced levels of zeaxanthin isomers—at the same 5:1 ratio as found in nature to optimally support eye health. This unique combination of lutein with zeaxanthin isomers makes Lutemax 2020 a highly effective eye health ingredient.

From seed to sale, OmniActive ensures both traceability and transparency in delivering high-quality lutein and zeaxanthin through socially and ecologically responsible practices.

In individuals with high digital screen exposure, science-backed Lutemax 2020 supports multiple aspects of eye performance and protection. It helps increase macular pigment optical density (MPOD), a critical layer in the eye that acts as a natural filter against high-energy blue light and oxidative stress.

In clinical studies, supplementation with Lutemax 2020 demonstrated:

• Significant increases in macular pigment optical density, helping support retinal protection
• Improved contrast sensitivity, supporting clearer, sharper vision in low-contrast environments
• Reduced glare sensitivity and faster recovery from bright light exposure
• Decreased symptoms of digital eye strain, including eye fatigue and discomfort

In another clinical study, participants reported improvements in their ability to see clearly in common real-world situations:

• Driving during the day and night
• Seeing more comfortably at night or in low-light settings
• Navigating challenging visual conditions like glare or poor visibility
• Reduced sensitivity to glare, especially in dim lighting
• Better ability to distinguish objects from their background (contrast)
• Clearer, more consistent vision across changing light conditions

These benefits go beyond standard eye chart results, supporting how your vision performs in real-life situations, not just in the exam room. (Yao et al., 2013)

Lutemax 2020 also supports brain and whole-body wellness. Research shows it helps maintain healthy levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), a key protein involved in brain health. Plus, it’s shown to shield against oxidative stress and promote a healthy inflammatory response. (Stringham, 2016–2019; Juturu, 2016)

Glutathione

Glutathione is referred to as the body’s “master antioxidant.” Researchers believe this premier antioxidant helps neutralize free radicals that contribute to the aging process. Glutathione supplies a powerful store of antioxidants that bind to these free radicals, keeping them from wreaking havoc throughout your body.

AREDS-Based Nutrients

Vitamins A and C, plus Zinc and Copper are nutrients that were used in the AREDS (Age-Related Eye Disease Studies) and are critical for your health. The AREDS are major clinical trials sponsored by the National Eye Institute at the National Institutes of Health.

Clear'Saff Saffron

Derived from the dried stigmas of Crocus sativus, saffron, known as “red gold," is one of the world's most prized and valuable spices, traditionally used to support overall wellness.

Bilberry Extract

Our bilberry extract is derived from 100% whole fruit (Vaccinium myrtillus L.), a small, dark blue berry native to Northern Europe and parts of North America.
