Qualifying participants will be asked to take a lutein, zeaxanthin, fish oil supplement, or a placebo for six months. Baseline and six-month activities include a blood draw, macular pigment optical density (MPOD) measure, anthropometrics, cognitive testing, and a DXA. Participants will come monthly to pick up supplements and have MPOD, anthropometrics, and cognitive testing at three months.
Healthy males or females between 18 to 45 years old with <.43 MPOD, a self-reported best-corrected vision of 20/40 or better in each eye, a BMI of 18.5-30, and meet the inclusion criteria on a preliminary participant questionnaire can participate. Those with >.7 MPOD, selfreported best-corrected vision of 20/40 or better in each eye, and meet the inclusion criteria on the preliminary questionnaires qualify for 2 NT training sessions. Only those with <.43 MPOD and participation in the 6-month study qualify. Individuals allergic to lutein, zeaxanthin, or fish oil or take supplements with >6 mg lutein and/or >2 mg zeaxanthin for more than two months before the study starts are excluded.
