First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether taking a daily supplement of lutein, zeaxanthin, and fish oil for six months can improve thinking skills, eye health, and bone density in healthy adults. Researchers will enroll 80 people with low levels of a key eye pigment. Participants will take either the supplement or a placebo pill every day. The goal is to see if these nutrients can help protect against age-related decline.
