Description
It contains 16 nutrients including antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and herbs that have been found to support optimal eye health and functions.*
Eye Structure and Function Support:
• Quercetin and Rutin are antioxidants that help support capillary integrity and work with Vitamin C to decrease bruising of the small capillaries in the eye.* Rutin has also been associated with maintaining healthy ocular pressure within the eye.* Quercetin helps support histamine levels within normal ranges to help maintain eye health.*
• Bilberry helps with the formation and maintenance of connective tissues within the eye, has beneficial effects on microcirculation, assists in strengthening capillaries in the eye and protects the macula.*
• Eyebright is an herb that improves microcirculation to the retina and helps maintain eye moisture and pressure.*
• L-Taurine is essential for maintaining the structural integrity of the retina.* If Taurine is depleted, rapid photoreceptor degeneration can result.*
• Lutein and Zeaxanthin are antioxidants that support ocular health by inhibiting free radical reactions in the eye and by supporting the thickness of macular pigment.* Lutein is found in high concentrations in the retina and macula of the eye. Lutein also helps protect the lens of the eye from the damaging effects of UV sunlight.*
• Vitamin B12 helps nerve function by supporting the myelin sheath, which insulates nerves such as the optic nerve.*
Antioxidant Support:
• Alpha Lipoic Acid is an antioxidant that is both fat and water soluble and can extend the biochemical life of other antioxidants such as Vitamins C, E and L-Glutathione.
• Beta carotene is a powerful antioxidant that is converted in the body to Vitamin A, which is essential to the protection and function of the retina of the eye.*
• Lycopene is a phytonutrient that has powerful antioxidant powers to help maintain optimal eye health.*
•L-Glutathione is the key antioxidant in the lens. Its major function is to protect the lens from ultraviolet radiation which over time can cause clouding.* The production of Glutathione in the lens declines with age.
• Vitamins C & E are antioxidants that support circulation and the structures of the eye.*
• Selenium, Zinc & Riboflavin are nutrients necessary for supporting antioxidants such as glutathione and super oxide dismutase.
