  1. Hi I have seen a number of sources recently giving evidence of the connection of eye health and the amount of Lutein Zeaxanthin and Meso-Zeaxanthin we do or do not have in our bodies. These particularly affect the health of the macular part of the eye which is crucial to the amount of colours and detail we perceive. A BBC study found that although kale, spinach and other foods naturally have some of these compounds, they do not have enough concentrated to have enough affect. For a rare moment, supplements were being put foward as a better option than diet (!) - which is very unusual for a non-commercial study. There are a number of off-the-shelf supplements with the compounds but not in bariatric-friendly (digestible) form it seems ? Questions (please): 1. Is the Lutien, Zeaxathin and Meso-Zeaxathin lack affect (which is generally related to age degeneration) related to the post-gastric bypass eyesight degeneration ? 2. Is the answer to 1. is Yes, where can I get a bariatric-friendly version of these supplements ? Thanks tonhars
