My article about Lutein and Zeaxanthin appeared in the May 2017 edition of natural practitioners . The article discussed the relationship between the harmful effects of blue light and the protective properties of the Lutein and Zeaxanthin-Isomere (RR and RS (meso)-azautanthin). The article presented evidence that the supplementation with these carotenoid headaches, eye fatigue, eye load and psychological stress in connection with the exposure to blue light was reduced and was also able to support the general health and sleep quality- again as a function of its protective effect against blue. Skin health. This is the topic of this blog.
The skin study
A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical study was carried out over a 12-week supplementary period to the effectiveness of Lutein and Zeaxanthin-Isomeren (as a Lutemax 2020 by Omniactive Health Technologies) when blocking the formation of melanin paths, reducing cytokines, and increasing the antioxidant Filtering blue light and protecting the skin from environmental factors, including energy -consuming sources. 46 healthy people (men and women, age: 18–45 years) with mild to moderate dry skin took part in the study. The skin type of skin was classified as a fitz patrick type II IV scale (ie light to olive-colored skin, except very light, brown and dark brown). For 12 weeks, the subjects were given either an oral dietary supplement with 10 mg lutein (L) and 2 mg Zeaxanthin-Isomeren (L/ZI) or a placebo. The minimal erythmemic dose (reddening of the skin) and the skin light was measured with the chromameter. The individual typological angle (an index that determines the degree of skin color or skin pigmentation) was calculated. Subjective assessments were also recorded.
Results of the study
The results showed that the general skin tone in the L/ZI group was significantly improved compared to placebo (p <0.0237) and that the luminance values (which indicate a skin revelation) were significantly increased in the L/ZI group. Likewise, the daily addition with L/GI reduced the intensity of the erythema induced by UV light exposure compared to placebo. The L/ZI supplement significantly increased the individual typological angle and significantly increased the restoration of skin elasticity (p <0.05). In summary, it can be said that an L/ZI supplement lightens and improves the skin.
