A healthy nutritional supplement to improve vision that has a pleasant fruity taste and is in the form of soft jelly candy.
Pure Nutrition Eye Formula contains the two most important and complementary eye ingredients namely:
Also known as the "eye vitamin," lutein is a type of carotenoid antioxidant best known for protecting eye health.
Along with another vision-improving carotenoid called zeaxanthin, it's abundant in anti-inflammatory, cancer-fighting foods, including kale, broccoli and many other green vegetables, egg yolks, and citrus fruits—all of which studies show help protect the eyes from oxidative stress.
The human body cannot synthesize lutein or zeaxanthin on its own, which means we must obtain these important nutrients from supplements and foods.
Lutein and its relative zeaxanthin are pigments called carotenoids. They are related to other carotenoids, such as beta-carotene and lycopene.
In fact, there are over 600 different types of carotenoids in nature, but only about 20 reach the eyes. Of these 20, zeaxanthin and lutein are the only two that are deposited in large amounts in the macular part of the eyes.
Lutein's antioxidant abilities help fight free radical damage caused by blue light or sun exposure, poor diet, and other factors that increase the risk of developing age-related vision loss or disorders. These include problems such as macular degeneration and cataracts.
In this process, antioxidants such as lutein protect healthy cells while stopping the growth of malignant cells.
Within the eye, one of the most important functions of the lens is to collect and focus light onto the retina. This is precisely why the lens must remain "clear" and free of clouding, which is indicative of cataracts. The main reason a lens becomes cloudy is damage due to oxidation. That's why we need antioxidants to help neutralize free radicals.
This eye vitamin isn't just good for older people. Both older and younger people can take lutein to reduce the risk of oxidative damage that can lead to disorders down the road.
Although carotenoids are extremely important for your vision and eyes, their benefits don't stop there. In addition to protecting the eyes, the use of lutein also includes the prevention of skin diseases, type 2 diabetes and risk factors associated with coronary heart disease.
