Product Description
Each stick contains
ß-Carotene
It is a component of light-sensitive pigments, rhodopsins, in the retina, which help with sight in limited light conditions. Hence, by supplementing with ß-Carotene, we can ensure adequate formation of rhodopsins for improved night vision.
Lutein
Cataracts is the blurring of vision caused by the deposit of oxidised proteins on the crystalline lenses in our eyes. Being an antioxidant, Lutein can thus prevent cataracts by minimising formation of these oxidised proteins.
Lutein also helps to filter blue light that damages the retina and macula, preventing age-related macular degeneration(ARMD). ARMD is a medical condition that results in loss of vision in the centre of the visual field, common in the elderly, due to damage to the retina and the macula. Left untreated, the area where sight is lost may enlarge, leading to eventual blindness.
Anthocyanins
Being also a component of rhodopsins, and an antioxidant, supplementation with anthocyanins helps to improve night vision and prevent cataracts.
In addition, anthocyanins decrease the degeneration of collagen, a major component of the eyeball and the blood vessels that supply blood and nutrients to the eye tissues, strengthening and making them more elastic, so that their functions can be optimised for enhanced eye health.
