How Much Lutein Should I Take?

Question: The Research Update article today mentioned the benefits of lutein and zeaxanthin for macular protection.  How much would be suggested for a 60 yo female, if I may ask?
 

Unfortunately, the most we can advise for dosage is what the labels recommend due to FDA regulations. Lutein is commonly taken up to 20-40 mg daily and Zeaxanthin is commonly taken up to 4 mg daily.
