Carotenoids may reduce migraines
We investigated the relationship between carotenoid levels in the blood and the prevalence of severe headaches or migraines among US adults. Using data from over 8,900 participants in the NHANES survey, we found a noteworthy inverse association between levels of lutein, zeaxanthin, and several other carotenoids with the incidence of migraines.

While these findings suggest that carotenoids might offer some protective benefits, further research is needed to confirm these results and understand how they work.

Lutein reduces headaches and eye strain
We explored the effects of macular carotenoid supplementation, specifically lutein, on headaches and various health indicators related to excessive screen time. In this placebo-controlled trial involving 48 young adults, participants took 24 mg of carotenoids daily for six months.

While we observed significant improvements in visual performance and a reduction in headaches, eye strain, and fatigue, it’s essential to note that the direct link between increased macular pigment and headache relief was not established. However, overall symptoms related to excessive screen time showed improvement, enhancing participants' quality of life.

Carotenoids may reduce migraine risk
We examined how serum carotenoid levels, specifically lutein, relate to migraine risk among U.S. adults. In our study of over 7,700 participants, we found that higher levels of carotenoids were linked to a lower risk of migraines.

Notably, lutein and zeaxanthin showed significant promise, with a reduced probability of migraine in those with higher levels. However, we did not observe any potential benefits from other carotenoids, such as lycopene.

This suggests that increasing carotenoid intake might help reduce migraine frequency, warranting more research.
