Micronutrients for the eyes and vision

An adequate supply of vitamins and trace elements is important for the normal function of the eyes.

Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal vision and supports vitamin A metabolism.

Vitamins C and E are antioxidant vitamins that help protect cells against oxidative stress.

Lutein and zeaxanthin – natural carotenoids

Lutein and zeaxanthin are yellowish plant pigments from the carotenoid group.

Both occur naturally in green leafy vegetables as well as in various yellow and orange plants.

In the human eye, lutein and zeaxanthin are components of macular pigment.

The macula is the area of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision.

FloraGLO® – lutein from marigold

Pure Encapsulations® AMD contains lutein from the FloraGLO® branded raw material.

This lutein is derived from the marigold plant, also known as the bachelor's button.

Standardized manufacturing ensures a defined content of the included carotenoid.

Vitamins C and E – antioxidant cell protection

Vitamins C and E help protect cells against oxidative stress.

Oxidative stress occurs when free radicals overwhelm the body's own defense mechanisms.

An adequate supply of antioxidant vitamins is part of a balanced diet.

Zinc – important for normal vision

Zinc is an essential trace element involved in numerous metabolic processes.

It contributes to the maintenance of normal vision and normal vitamin A metabolism.

Furthermore, zinc supports the protection of cells against oxidative stress.

AMD and age-related macular degeneration

Certain high-dose combinations of antioxidant vitamins, zinc, copper, lutein, and zeaxanthin were investigated in the AREDS and AREDS2 studies for age-related macular degeneration.

For certain patient groups with pre-existing age-related macular degeneration, a reduction in the risk of progression to advanced stages of the disease could be shown.

However, these results only apply to preparations formulated and dosed accordingly and cannot be automatically transferred to every eye supplement.

Important information

Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a balanced, varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Keep out of reach of young children and store in a cool, dry place.
