Originally Published 4 months ago — by Medical Xpress
A study from the University of Chicago found that zeaxanthin, a plant-derived nutrient known for eye health, can enhance the immune system's ability to fight cancer by boosting T-cell activity, potentially improving the effectiveness of immunotherapies. The research suggests that dietary supplements like zeaxanthin could serve as accessible adjuncts to cancer treatment, though clinical trials are needed to confirm these benefits.
