Ingredients
Lutein and Zeaxanthin
Protecting your vision and eye health and prevention of potential eye challenges is of paramount importance. Lutein and Zeaxanthin protect the macula region of the eye (the area responsible for detailed vision) from free radical damage and retard age-related eye concerns. Increasing intake of them help promote macular density in your eyes which is important.
Rutin and Quercetin
These bioflavonoids are excellent antioxidants utilized in the body to enhance the effectiveness of vitamin C, and help strengthen the walls of the intricate blood vessels in the eye.
Taurine
Taurine is an amino acid that is important for the maintainence of healthy tissues of the retina. It helps protect the eyes from harmful effects of ultraviolet light.
N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)
Some practitioners suggest taking NAC because it is a major glutathione precursor. Glutathione has antioxidant activity and may promote healthy eyes, and is crucial in possibly protecting against free radical damage. Some studies have shown that many lenses of unhealthy eyes contain approximately 1/5th the amount of glutathione as compared to normal lenses.
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Alpha lipoic acid (ALA) is a vitamin-like antioxidant, and is sometimes referred to as the "universal antioxidant," because it is soluble in both fat and water. Alpha lipoic acid supports good vision and eye health. According to Lester Packer, a leading scientist who has researched free radicals, "Alpha lipoic acid could have far-reaching consequences in the search for prevention and therapy of chronic degenerative diseases...." Several other benefits of lipoic acid regarding eye and vision protection involve its ability to regenerate and increase Vitamins C and E in the body. These vitamins are important naturally-occurring, free-radical scavengers.
Ginkgo Biloba
Ginkgo is a powerful herbal extract that may increase the circulation of blood to the eyes. It has been shown in some cases to help lower intraocular pressure in the eyes. Ginkgo has antioxidant activity, improves arterial blood flow and enhances cellular metabolism. It’s known for its age-defying properties which may support good vision and eye health.
Bilberries for Good Night Vision
Bilberry fruits have long been pressed into jam in Europe and Asia, and were first used for good vision during World War II. Just before their nighttime flights over the English Channel to bomb targets on the mainland, British pilots found that tea and crumpets including a bilberry spread, helped them see better. Subsequent research suggested that the bioflavonoids in bilberries support good vision and eye health. Many doctors are now recommending bilberry for those concerned about potential eye challenges.
The bioflavonoids in Bilberry have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, and strengthen the structural integrity of blood vessels throughout the body and promote healthy circulation, particularly to the small capillaries that deliver oxygen and nutrients to the eyes. Bilberry also helps prevent free radical damage to the delicate structures within the eye. Bilberry may help your night vision and adaptation to the dark, and promote visual acuity and capillary integrity. Bilberry may help your night vision (especially noticeable while driving) and makes reading, computer use, and other activities easier on your eyes.
