Zeaxanthin as a food additive

Researchers studied 4,519 people who were between the ages of 60 and 80 when the study began, and monitored them for six years. The condition is believed to be irreversible by conventional medical experts, although many natural health followers have successfully halted the condition through nutritional therapies.The researchers analyzed the participants' diets and compared them with their development of age-related macular degeneration, an eye disease in which the center of the retina thins and atrophies, causing loss of vision in the center of the eye.
The pigments lutein and zeaxanthin in particular were found to reduce the risk possibly by absorbing blue light that can damage the back of the retina. However, the researchers could only prove a weak link between the pigments and advanced-stage AMD. While yellows and oranges are wonderful for nervous system protection, blues and greens offer anti-cancer benefits and cardiovascular protection. To be healthy and avoid disease, eat natural foods containing all the colors of the rainbow."
We get very low rainfall, so it doesn't affect our pond nutrients to any great extent, and also we have access to a very unique resource, which is cold deep seawater pumped up from a depth of 2,000 feet, and we use this cold deep seawater as a source of some 96 trace elements in our spirulina cultures. Food additives, including both natural and synthetic are found in almost all of the packaged food available in the grocery stores, but not all of them ar safe. Some food additives do have the potential to be harmful, and thus should be avoided.
