Can Ye Huangsu really protect eyes? Experts teach you how to choose Ye Huangsu and eat

 9:04am, 12 September 2025

Ye Huangsu's inquiries among health foods that have risen in recent years is definitely among the top. All kinds of health foods containing leaves, whether in TV advertising, pharmacies or markets, will appear like spring after rain. Why is Ye Huangsu so popular? Perhaps it is because the yellow spots of the video film have been found in the study to absorb blue light. In addition, people will use it for a long time and create blue light equipment, which has made Ye Huang replace the popular materials such as yamsangzi and blueberries in the early years and become a new feed for eye care and health food. However, the embarrassing thing is that the blue light emitted by electronic products can damage the eyes, so far, actually lacks scientific support.

What are the effects of

Yellow Huangsu? In the study, Ye Huangsu may be helpful in preventing age-related macular degeneration (simply AMD). But now there are quite a lot of Ye Huangsu products on the market. Each product says it is great, with super small molecules, easy to absorb... and so on. The product price range is not small. With such a large amount of information, do you know how to choose the right Ye Huangsu supplement product that suits you? Please don’t worry, the MedPartner team will organize relevant knowledge in this article to help you understand Ye Huangsu and understand the relevant scientific evidence so that you can know how to eat and how much to eat is safe and effective! Let’s talk about the discussion first. For detailed information, please read the internal literature study and research!

1. The yellow spots of the eyeball are densely divided into visual nerves, including leaves and corn yellow.

2. Leafycin and other types of saccharin have the ability to absorb blue light and antioxidant, so it may have physiological effects on protecting yellow spots.

3. In the study, sufficient leaf ginger intake may be helpful in preventing the disease of the plaque in the elderly. But the causal relationship of preventing cataracts is less clear.

4. Leaf yellow is the highest in deep green foods, but it is best to eat them with oil, or grind and heat them, which can increase the absorption rate of the human body.

5. In health foods, lemon can be divided into two types: esterified leaf yellow and lemon. lemon can be eaten without having to be eaten with oil, while esterified leaf yellow is best taken with oil.

6. Take 6-10 mg of Yehuangsu every day, up to 30 milligrams is enough. Although if you accidentally eat more, it will not seem too big to the human body at the moment. The more likely problem is that the skin becomes yellow, but it will recover later.

7. You can eat more Ye Huangsu in the food. People who really don’t eat dark green vegetables can choose Ye Huangsu health food, but avoiding excessive eyesight is the best way!

What is Ye Huangsu? Why can yellow spots be protected?

If you want to understand why Ye Huangsu may protect the yellow spots, you must start with the physiology and anatomy of the eyes. Let’s first take a look at what the yellow spots are and what their effects are in humans!

Where is the yellow spot in the eyes?

Macula is located on the central part of the eye and has a yellow appearance because it contains a large amount of yellow saccharin. In the human eye, the visual cells responsible for visual transmission are distributed in large quantities in the yellow spots. If these cells are damaged, they will affect human vision. In the yellow spots of the web, if the lutein contained in it is analyzed, it will be found that it contains three ingredients: Lutein, Zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin.

But why do a large number of species of turmeric ceramia gather in the yellow spots of the vitiligo membrane, not elsewhere? What should be the reason for this? Based on current research, it is indeed possible to find that such a type of Hupopin distribution makes sense. To answer this question, we need to first understand how Ye Huangsu protects the yellow spots.

How does

When Ye Huangsu protects the yellow spots?

In the study, it was found that these vena yellowin, such as syellowin, may have the effect of protecting visual neuronal cells. Their ability to protect the yellow spots of the video membrane mainly comes from:

1. The energy that absorbs strong light to avoid causing damage to the video membrane

2. Their antioxidant force can reduce the generation of free radicals in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) of the video membrane

The range of light wavelengths that cause damage to the video membrane is mainly between 400-450 nm, and the absorbable range of these types of turmeric tracts on the yellow spot is 390-515 nm The left and right covers the wavelength range that will cause damage to the Internet membrane.

But you may feel strange, why not just leaves yellow, but also the ingredients of Zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin appear in the yellow spots?

Most of the things that exist in organisms can be found. If there is no reason for existence, they will usually degenerate during evolution.. The reason why ingredients such as elixir and yellow particles coexist in yellow spots may be that different pigments have their own wavelengths that are good at absorbing. Under the condition of masking each other, they can provide a wider blue light resistance than when they exist alone. For example, the maximum absorption wavelength of leaves is 445 nm and corn leaves is 451 nm. With the use of these pigments, it can absorb 40-90% of the blue light entering the eyes, but it is not successfully absorbed, which may further promote the generation of free radicals that will cause cell damage. At this time, we still have to rely on the antioxidant ability of Leaf, Corn and other types of Hussin to help eliminate the generated free radicals.

Speaking of this, you should be able to understand the effect of Ye Huangsu on the yellow spots of the vitiligo. But what exactly is Ye Huangsu? How did it run to the yellow spots of human body?

What is

Yellow Huangsu? How did it run to the yellow spots of human body?

lemon is a yellow natural pigment, which is similar to beta-hushu, both of which are classified as hushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushushus Natural leaf ginger can be transformed from alpha-Hushu glutinosa of plants, algae, bacteria and fungi. But humans do not have the ability to synthesize leaf and corn ginger by themselves, so if you want to get them, you must get them from the food.

There will be nearly 600 species of volume known in nature, and about 50 species can be eaten by humans from their daily diet. In the end, only 20 species can be absorbed from the digestive system and entered the blood circulation. However, in the end, only two types, Lutein and Zeaxanthin, will appear in the yellow spots of humans' membranes. In addition, some of the vegetation leaves in the vegetation membrane will turn into meso-zeaxanthin. Yehuangsu, cornhuangsu and internal racemic cornhuangsu respectively account for 36%, 18% and 18% of the total number of sausage in the Internet membrane.

The following picture is the chemical structure of these three molecules. If you don’t look at it carefully, you may think that they all look the same! Because the structure is too similar, some devices still cannot tell who they are! (Ref. 1)

After understanding how Ye Huangsu and his good friends are absorbed and what effects may be, can we directly discuss "replenishing Ye Huangsu can help vision"? In science, of course, it is not so simple. In theory, "maybe" can be effective, and it does not necessarily mean that "actual" must be effective. To prove it, actual research results still need to be proved. Let’s take a look at what Ye Huangsu said about his research on visual health care!

Can lemoniae prevent plaque lesions and cataracts?

The two possible effects that Ye Huangsu has long been mentioned are prevention and improvement of yellow spot lesions in the elderly and cataracts. The following are the following to summarize recent studies: Prevention and improvement of dialysis of plaque lesions

Leaf Huangsu and corn Huangsu were considered to reduce the risk of plaque lesions in the early, mid- and late stages of elderly plaque lesions. In addition, studies have found that the higher the concentration of leaf/corn ginger in diet or blood, the less the change in the elderly yellow spot disease will occur. (Ref. 2). In 2015, in the journal JAMA Ophthalmology, there was a large-scale study that followed for 20 years (1984-2010). A total of 63,443 women participated in 38,603 men, all over 50 years old, which is the ethnic group that may be affected by the changes in the stigma of the elderly. Research results found that ingestion/corn ingredients are associated with reduced risk of long-term and late-stage elderly senile yellow spot disease, while other types of ingredients are also considered to cause lower associated risks (Ref. 3).

Prevention of cataracts

is rich in leaves, corn yellow, and vitamin B groups, and has been observed in studies and may help reduce the risk of cataracts. However, this result may also be observed from such a dietary pattern, which actually consumes a lot of fruits and vegetables. And this group of people may have a better lifestyle than ordinary people. So is Ye Huangsu effective in preventing cataracts? Or is the root cause that the diet and healthy people of this group have a preventive effect on cataracts? The relevant causal relationships are still difficult to discuss. (Ref. 5,6,7) Therefore, we should not make a conclusion. We should directly determine that Ye Huangsu must be helpful in preventing cataracts, and we can only say that it is "possible".

How to replenish Ye Huangsu? How much does it take to eat? How safe is it?

The relevant knowledge of Ye Huangsu has seen this, from mechanism to related research, you can probably know that Ye Huangsu may be helpful for the prevention and delay of yellow spot disease and cataracts in the elderly. So in daily life, what methods do we have to supplement Leaf Huangsu?

There are currently two ways to supplement Ye Huangsu: daily diet, nutritional supplements. In principle, it is best to be able to supplement from daily diet. It is recommended to use nutrient supplements unless it is insufficient intake or special considerations. For food and nutritional supplements, we have compiled the relevant information as follows:

Deep green leaf vegetables are the high-quality sources of leaf and corn ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger ginger The following picture will show foods rich in leaves. Ranking is based on the "normal consumption" of normal adults, and it is provided for your reference. In fact, you may think that since yehuangsu is a kind of fermented saccharin, then fermented saccharin must have rich fermented saccharin and corn saccharin, right? But in fact, every 100 grams of raw Husbandry contains only 0.27 mg!

The content in this table is not expressed as a single elixir, but as a elixir + corn elixir. This is because the two ingredients are actually too similar in chemical structures. Some testers cannot distinguish between lemon and corn yumin, so they are expressed in two sums. If the table below is too complicated and can't be remembered, it's okay to eat more deep green leaves vegetables. But if you change direction and think, if you don’t eat deep green leaves vegetables, the intake of leaves and corn yellow vegetarians is likely to be less than enough!

But how much leaf vegetarian food can really absorb as much as the human body? The answer is, not necessarily. There are also several factors to consider!

Factors that affect absorption in food

The leaves in food are usually connected to other molecules and need to become a wandering shape before they can be absorbed by the tiny and kidney. There are also dietary fibers for vegetables and fruits (this is a good thing in most cases) that can also interfere with Ye Huang's digestion process. Therefore, if you want to absorb the leaves in food smoothly, there are two key points:

1. Eat with oil: usually leaves in the leaves are accompanied by one or two fatty acids, that is, the esterified leaves in the leaves. In order to freely prevent Leaf Huang from being fed with fatty acids, fat decomposition enzymes are needed to help. But if you want to have enough fat-decomposition enzymes in the kidneys, you have to eat them with oil, otherwise the kidneys will not want to secrete fat-decomposition enzymes! For an actual example, if you want to absorb a little more leafy vegetarian from spinach, you should eat a little oily stewed dish. Just boiling spinach will not have such a good effect.

2. Heating and grinding can increase the absorption rate of plant leaf ginger: Most leaf ginger, which comes from deep green leaf vegetables, is combined with protein and exists in leaf green or organelles in the form of a compound. Suitable heating and grinding can help Ye Huangsu to emerge from these places. For an actual example, a soup made with heated spinach puree will have a better absorption effect than a single slice of spinach leaf.

What is the difference between lemon and esterified lemon in nutrient supplements?

Currently, there are about two types of nutrient supplements with added leaves on the market, namely esterified leaves and leaves. The two raw materials are golden chicken flowers. Just like the concept in the previous paragraph, the lemon yellow squid has to be swam away first before it can be absorbed. If you eat lemon yellow squid, you don’t have to consider whether you take oil at the same time. You can eat it on an empty stomach. On the contrary, adding supplements with esterified leaf huanglin must be taken in order to have good absorption.

Also, pay attention to the manufacturer's saying that the esterified leaf yellow is naturally higher than that of leaf yellow. Some products on the market will use the term "small molecular weight is easy to absorb". However, whether the leaf yellow is easy to absorb is not a problem with molecular weight. It is pure only that the small kidney can absorb the shedding leaf yellow. It is definitely not that the molecular weight is smaller, and the absorption is less. So sometimes what makes sense may not be true! ! !

According to this way, it seems that the absorption rate of leaf ginger in nutrient supplements is better than that of food, but in fact it may not be the case! There was a study on 10 men, comparing the bioavailability of lemon-enhancing eggs, lemon-enhancing supplements, esterified lemon-enhancing supplements and rosy vegetables. The intake of each group of lemon-enhancing 6 mg per day. As a result, it was found that the bioavailability of chicken eggs was the best, and there were no significant differences in the other three groups (Ref. 8).

How much does vegetarian vegetarian eat to eat? Who needs special supplementation of Leaf Huangsu?

How much leaf vegetarian food should be eaten to protect your eyes? Generally, Americans take up 1-2 mg per day, while those who take up 3-5 mg per day will be admitted to high ingestion. In Taiwan, if your diet does not contain foods that are particularly rich in leaves, it should be similar to that of ordinary Americans.

In most studies, taking 6 mg of leaves per day reduced the risk of plaque disease by 43% (Ref. 9). In addition, the American Macular Degeneration Foundation recommends that the intake of leaves is 6-30 mg per day. Taiwan has regulations on adding leaves yellow purifier to foods. The daily maximum daily intake of capsule-type foods is 30 mg. For other general foods, the total content of leaves yellow purifier shall not be higher than 9 mg in daily consumption or in foods of 300 grams (those who do not indicate daily consumption).

So as of now, Ye Huangsu should take 6-10 mg, and up to 30 mg is a very sufficient amount. If you eat a lot of deep green leaves vegetables in your diet and eat them with fat, you don’t need to eat other supplements of leaves; in other words, if you talk about people who eat deep green leaves and don’t eat eggs, you may consider using leaves and yellow sucking supplements.

But if Ye Huang eats too much vegetarian food, will something happen?

What happens if you eat too much vegetarian food? Are there any side effects?

Yellow is a GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) by the U.S. Food and Health Administration (FDA), which is generally considered a safe ingredient. So what would happen if I ate too much Ye Huang Vegetarian? There are many studies on Ye Huangsu, with the range of supplementary doses ranging from 8-40 mg per day, and the replenishment time from 7 days to 24 months. During this dose and during the study period, only some study subjects responded to some physical inappropriate responses (Ref. 2). Therefore, if you eat 6-30 mg a day, you should not be too worried.

But in 2016, there was a special case where an Asian woman in her 60s was diagnosed with glaucoma. During the process, she found that there was a crystal in the center of the two eyes. Before this, she had taken Leaf Huangsu supplements (20 mg) daily for 8 years. In addition, her diet also contains rich Leaf Huangsu. As a result, after seven months of stopping the Ye Huangsu supplement, the crystal in the right eye disappeared, but the left eye was still there (Ref. 10). Oh, by the way, do you remember that Ye Huangsu and Corn Huangsu are also a kind of Hulu, both of which are yellow pigments? So if you eat too much of these ingredients, your skin may also become yellow.

Finally, the supplement answers a question that everyone often has doubts. The formulas of some Ye Huangsu supplements look a bit similar. Why is this?

If you have ever really visited Ye Huangsu Nutritional Supplements, you may find that although there are many different brands, the ingredients seem to be similar to each one? This is not a mistake. This may be the basis for the manufacturer's reference to the formula, all from the same study: The Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2, briefly known as AREDS2. If there is a second time, it means there is a first time!

AREDS is a trial sponsored by the National Institute of Ophthalmology at the National Institute of Hygiene. Both times were large-scale and had an average follow-up time of 5 years. AREDS1, published in 2001, proved that oral antioxidant vitamins and minerals may contribute to risk from mid- to late AMD over 5 years, but this formula has no significant effect in reducing cataract risk.

As studies related to omega-3 fatty acids and eye health are increasing day by day, the research before the AREDS2 study published in 2013 can be improved by adding Omega-3 fatty acids, adding omega-3 fatty acids, adding omega-corn huang, removing beta-hussin or reducing tin. There were 16 arrangements in the end. Here we list the most variable formulas: Leaf 10 mg/corn 2 mg, Omega-3 fatty acids 1,000 mg, Vitamin C 500 mg, Vitamin E 400 IU, Gel Oxide 25 mg and Copper Oxide 2 mg. Before the official research results were published, many manufacturers had developed their own leaf ginger products based on the research formulas and adjusted the ingredients, or added other materials related to eye health, such as black currants, blueberries... etc. Health food manufacturers’ hands are very fast!

So what is the final result of AREDS2? Finally, it was discovered that adding Omega-3 fatty acids did not bring any additional benefits, reducing the amount of sterilization and removing beta-hussin did not have a significant impact on the results, but leafy/corn yellow can safely and effectively replace beta-hussin. There are two reasons for removing beta-hussil. One is that it has the same absorption pathway as the same species of hussil and corn huanglin, and it will compete with each other. Research has also found that when three types of hussil and corn huanglin are eaten together, the concentration of hussil and corn huanglin in the blood will decrease; secondly, studies have found that the intake of beta-hussil and the increase in lung cancer risk in smokers. (Ref. 4).

When seeing this, do you feel that you have become a Ye Huang Suda?
