Lutemax 2020—nutrition for the modern lifestyle
Out of more than 600 carotenoids found in nature, the three macular carotenoids—lutein, RR-zeaxanthin, and RS (meso)-zeaxanthin—have garnered considerable attention for their role in preserving healthy vision. There is a growing consensus that the macular carotenoids are conditionally essential nutrients, which is to say that under certain circumstances, supplementation may be required. Poor dietary intake increased blue light exposure, and lifestyle changes are driving a greater need to supplement with these important nutrients to ensure adequate levels throughout life. The macular carotenoids are not just for the eyes though. Lutemax 2020 research highlights the relevance of macular carotenoids for benefits important to today’s consumers including:

Seeing the eye health market in a new light
The interest in supplements supporting eye health is increasing and evident in the category’s sales, which have been growing steadily since 2019 in the US, according to estimates from Nutrition Business Journal. But the eye health market is expanding to a larger, younger demographic due in part to modern lifestyles, such as those working from home, virtual learning, or gaming. Our dependence on digital devices has created a need to help reduce the impact of blue light exposure from digital device use on vision health.
An Omni Insights survey showed that 73% of consumers are concerned about prolonged exposure to blue light from digital devices. Among the prime targets, 57% are likely to use supplements to protect their eyes from blue light.
Moreover, Lutemax 2020 is uniquely positioned to support gamers in the growing esports category. Read more here

More specifically, the US mood and mental health as well as the sleep health categories have both grown steadily in the last couple of years with 9% growth projections in 2023e.
