Lutemax 2020™ combines lutein and zeaxanthin for sharper results
Lutemax 2020™ combines the two most widely researched and recognized eye health ingredients — lutein and zeaxanthin isomers — into a single source ingredient. A vast majority of lutein products available contain very low levels of zeaxanthin. Without a complete source of zeaxanthin, the human eye won't accumulate the proper concentration of both compounds. Lutemax 2020 is the first ingredient that provides enhanced levels of zeaxanthin isomers, along with lutein, for convenient and more beneficial nutrient availability to the eyes. Manufacturers can also seamlessly upgrade to Lutemax 2020 at an affordable cost-in-use.

editorial team is dedicated to the furthering of information. In fact, our editors are downright passionate about our role in industry education. White papers are one of those components. If you are interested in sponsoring a White Paper, please contact

Jim Wagner.

White papers can be a very effective in communicating the latest science and market research. In our experience, the most effective white papers are designed and written with the following guidelines:

1.  The paper should contain the most recent science, offer a solution to an industry challenge and/or provide an accurate assessment of a problem and the solution. Readers are looking for actionable information rather than an overt sales pitch. Think education not sales in your white paper language. Readers like detailed information that is aimed at problem solving not marketing hype.

2.  Though they are called white papers, text only papers will lose reader attention. Include graphics, visual aids, power points and charts to support your message.

3.  Science please. If you are submitting a white paper that is science-based (as opposed to a paper about general business practices), back it up with current, relevant and preferably peer-reviewed science.

4.  As a part of Functional Ingredients ongoing mission to support quality science, we can only accept scientific white papers that follow the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act guidelines for structure function claims and FDA’s guidelines for qualified health claims.

5.  Keep it short. Though digital technology has ample space to store information, short to moderate length is best, otherwise you will lose reader’s limited attention span. Five to ten pages in the main body is preferred and in a pdf format please.
