What is Lutein + Zeaxanthin 20mg/1mg?
Lutein + Zeaxanthin 20mg/1mg from EssentialSeries is a food supplement in vegetable capsules, made from Tagetes erecta flower extract, containing xanthophylls such as Lutein and Zeaxanthin, protected by a microencapsulation system that ensures maximum carotenoid stability.
Lutein is a xanthophyll and one of over 600 known carotenoids found in nature. Lutein is only synthesised by plants and, like other xanthophylls, is found in green leafy vegetables (DrugBank, n.d.).
Our Lutein + Zeaxanthin is derived from a herbal extract, and its capsules are made using a non-animal cellulose derivative, meaning:
This is a 100% suitable product for vegetarians and vegans.

The Importance of Microencapsulation in Lutein
Lutein is a widely recognised carotenoid used as a food supplement, but its stability is compromised by environmental factors such as light, oxygen, and temperature. These elements can quickly degrade it, reducing its bioavailability and quality. Therefore, microencapsulation is an innovative and advanced solution to preserve its integrity and functionality. This process involves coating the lutein with a protective matrix, creating a barrier against external agents, preventing oxidation, and ensuring the compound retains its properties until consumption. At HSN, we are committed to quality, and after reviewing stability tests by experts, we chose the best raw material sourced from natural origins.
In addition to improving stability, microencapsulation optimises lutein absorption in the body. By controlling the carotenoid’s release in the digestive tract, its solubility and bioavailability are enhanced, allowing for greater intake efficiency with lower doses. Compared to non-encapsulated forms, microencapsulation represents a superior system, ensuring a more stable and effective product overall.
Why Buy Lutein + Zeaxanthin from HSN?
Natural Plant-Based Source
Lutein is a carotenoid naturally present mainly in green leafy vegetables like kale and spinach, making extraction from herbal sources feasible.
However, many companies use synthetic sources to cut production costs.
Not at HSN!
We use the petals of the Tagetes plant flowers, one of nature’s richest sources of lutein. To achieve this:
We use a 200:1 extract from Tagetes erecta flowers.
With a standardised content of its active principles:
- 20% Lutein.
- 1.3% Zeaxanthin.
Ensuring a highly concentrated extract in small capsules.
Vegan
Since Lutein + Zeaxanthin is derived from a herbal extract, the raw material is vegan.
Many supplement companies sell capsule-based products that, even if the raw material is suitable for vegetarians and vegans, become non-vegan due to the use of gelatin as a capsule coating.
At HSN, we strive to ensure all our products are suitable for vegan diets, which is why we use a plant-based capsule coating:
Ensuring that Lutein + Zeaxanthin 20mg/1mg is a completely vegan-friendly food supplement.

Helps the eyesight a little
Gabriel 17/05/2021
For those who work long hours exposed to screens, it improves the symptoms of eyestrain, but do not expect miracles. I think the product has too much lutein and not enough zeaxanthin. It would be better to have 10mg of lutein and 2mg of zeaxanthin per capsule.

Excellent product for the eyesight.
María jose 02/10/2025
I have been taking it for some time now together with astaxanthin and the truth is that I have noticed a great result. I have myopia and astigmatism and I have achieved a vision with a great sharpness and especially in night driving has reduced the glare produced by the lights. I will continue to take it with great enthusiasm with its results.

This supplement is perfect for protecting eye health. The combination of lutein and zeaxanthin in optimal doses helps keep the retina in good condition and reduce eye fatigue. Since I've been taking it, I notice that my eyes feel less fatigued at the end of the day. The capsules are easy to take and contain no unnecessary ingredients. It is a simple but effective option to take care of your eyes.
