Lutein and zeaxanthin are xanthophyll carotenoids with a well-established evidence base in eye health and an emerging body of research in brain function, cognitive performance, and healthy aging. Yet they remain outside most formal dietary recommendations, and their broader roles across the lifespan are still coming into focus. This session brings together three leading scientists to examine current and developing evidence on lutein and zeaxanthin — from visual function and macular health to cognitive outcomes and aging populations. Attendees will explore the strength and maturity of the science, key research gaps, and implications for nutrition policy and regulatory frameworks worldwide. This virtual, 90-minute session closes the CRN-I 2026 Symposium Series and is available at no cost to government regulators, researchers, clinicians, and dietary supplement industry professionals globally.
