Zeaxanthin is one of the most common carotenoids in nature, and is used in the xanthophyll cycle. Synthesized in plants and some micro-organisms, it is the pigment that gives paprika (made from red sweet peppers), corn, saffron, goji (wolfberries), and many other plants and microbes their characteristic color.
