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.

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.

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.

Sand feeling gone
The quality is excellent, and the primary ingredient is lutein in free form, which has been beneficial for my vision issues. After spending 12 hours at the computer and taking this for a month, the sand-like sensation in my eyes has disappeared, and my headaches have ceased. I feel an improvement that I didn't think was possible; these capsules are also easy to swallow. I will reorder.

This supplement works exceptionally well! I've tried various lutein products, but this one is the most effective. I frequently had headaches and a heavy feeling behind my eyes. My eyes were so strained that moving them produced a grinding sound. Other brands alleviated some pain, but I trusted the reviews and am thrilled to say I really felt the effect from this one! I will definitely reorder when I run out.

Headache relief
2 people found this helpful
Lutein is incredibly effective for me. If I don’t take it, I experience headaches from eye strain, particularly after long computer sessions. A dosage of 10mg or more greatly helps. I've been using it long-term, but since it's fat-soluble, I'm alternating it with astaxanthin due to concerns about accumulation.

Eye strain improvement
Since I began taking this supplement two months ago, I've noticed a marked improvement in eye strain from when I wasn't taking it. It seems to prevent the ageing of the crystalline lens, and while I’m busy staring at screens daily, I feel its effects improving. Although I consider it preventive, I want to continue monitoring its impact as it is beneficial.

Reduced eye strain
As someone who stares at a PC all day, I was suffering from headaches and shoulder stiffness. Since beginning this supplement, my eye fatigue has lessened significantly, and I rarely experience headaches now. I find the capsules are small and easy to take, and I plan to repurchase when I run out.

Reduced tiredness
Although I am unclear on the exact dosage, I’ve experienced a reduction in headaches and feel less fatigued since starting this supplement.

Improved dry eyes
3 people found this helpful
If you suffer from dry eyes, I highly recommend this. I pair it with Nature's Way Eyebright, and it has been effective. After my LASEK procedure, I often experienced headaches due to dry eyes, but I noticed a significant improvement. Particularly in the mornings, I felt quite stiff. I've also learned that Omega-3 can be beneficial for dry eyes, which I've purchased but not yet tried because it hasn't been shipped. If you find my review helpful, please consider giving it a high rating.
