Zeaxanthin Overview
Zeaxanthin is a type of carotenoid, a natural pigment found in plants and fruits, particularly in leafy greens and colorful vegetables. It is known for its antioxidant properties and its role in supporting eye health by protecting against harmful light-induced damage. Zeaxanthin is often used in dietary supplements targeted at promoting optimal vision and reducing the risk of age-related macular degeneration.
Brodalumab Overview
-
Brodalumab injection is used to treat moderate to severe plaque psoriasis (skin disease in which red, scaly patches form on some areas of the body) in people whose psoriasis is too severe to be treated by topical medications alone and who have not been treated successfully with other medications. Brodalumab injection is in a class of medications called monoclonal antibodies. It works by blocking the action of a certain natural substance in the body that causes the symptoms of psoriasis.
