Abstract
A composition including a xanthophyll carotenoid diacetate, a transition metal salt, and phospholipids is provided. The composition does not include micelles and is not an emulsion. Methods of supporting eye health in subjects in need thereof using the composition are also provided.
Claims21
A composition comprising:
- a xanthophyll carotenoid diacetate;
- a transition metal salt;
- and
- phospholipids,
- wherein the composition does not comprise micelles, and
- wherein the composition is not an emulsion.
3 more elements
A method of supporting good eye health in a subject in need thereof, the method comprising:
- administering a safe and effective amount of a carotenoid composition to the subject, the carotenoid composition comprising:
- a xanthophyll carotenoid diacetate;
- a transition metal salt;
- and
- phospholipids,
- wherein the carotenoid composition does not comprise micelles,
- wherein the carotenoid composition is not an emulsion, and
- wherein micelles encapsulating the xanthophyll carotenoid in free form are formed from the phospholipids within the digestive tract of the subject.
5 more elements
A method of improving the bioavailability of meso-zeaxanthin in a subject, the method comprising:
- converting meso-zeaxanthin diacetate into meso-zeaxanthin in free form in the digestive tract of the subject;
- and
- forming micelles within the digestive tract of the subject, the micelles comprising a monolayer of phospholipids encapsulating the meso-zeaxanthin in free form,
- wherein more of the meso-zeaxanthin in free form remains biologically available within the blood stream of the subject than in a corresponding meso-zeaxanthin when administered to the subject in crystalline form.
