Macular Carotenoids: Eye-Friendly Nutrients
Carotenoids are a class of phytonutrients found in abundance in your eyes — specifically in the protective macula at the back of the eye. The macula protects the eye's delicate photoreceptor cells from excess light and oxidative stress. The more lutein and zeaxanthin carotenoids in your macula, the better it can do its job.
This formula contains lutein, trans-zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin, as well as alpha-carotene — another eye health carotenoid associated with protection of the macula and retina. These nutrients help preserve the health of the macula and act as defenders against excessive oxidative stress, helping keep eyes functioning well over time.
Phospholipids for Optimal Absorption
Getting eye-healthy nutrients where you need them most is a huge part of supporting vision health. This formula contains phospholipids — an integral part of every cell membrane in the body — to promote absorption of lutein and zeaxanthin into the retina of the eye.
Vision-Enhancing Benefits of Saffron
Multiple clinical studies have shown that in individuals with age-related vision concerns, supplementing with saffron helped support visual acuity, as measured both by advanced technical testing and on the Snellen eye chart commonly used by doctors to test vision.
