Lutein (with zeaxanthin) is the macular-pigment carotenoid in the AREDS2 eye formula. Below, the lutein products people use ranked by real cost per dose (to the commonly-studied 10 mg dose). A value comparison, not medical advice.
Updated September 2026
AREDS2 (10 mg lutein + 2 mg zeaxanthin) modestly slowed progression of EXISTING intermediate/advanced macular degeneration. It was not shown to protect healthy eyes or prevent AMD.
Commonly used: 10 mg lutein (+2 mg zeaxanthin).
How this list is built: these are lutein products ranked by real cost per dose across our whole lutein catalogue — not filtered or re-ordered by eye health. We don’t hold per-product evidence for a specific use, so we don’t pretend to rank for one. Products whose own label says they are for something else are left out.
