Superpotency Antioxidant Eye Protection
Lutein and Zeaxanthin are 'caratenoids', natural substances found in dark green, leafy vegetables that have antioxidant and other health promoting capabilities, particularly for the eyes. Because Lutein and Zeaxanthin are not produced by the body, they can only be obtained from food or supplements. Up to five servings of vegetables and fruits a day may be needed to provide an optimum level of these important nutrients.
Unfortunately, not all antioxidants are able to reach the eyes. This is because nature has given us extra protection to prevent chemicals from harming our eyes. Lutein and Zeaxanthin, however, not only reach the eyes, they perform vital functions once they arrive.
Towards the back of the retina sits the ‘macula’, a tiny area made up of millions of cells that help produce the sharp vision needed to read and see objects clearly. The macula is also called the 'yellow spot’ because it contains high levels of Lutein and Zeaxanthin, which give the macula its bright yellow-red pigment. Scientists believe these yellow antioxidant pigments protect the whole retina from free radical damage. In fact, the density of yellow macular pigment has been used to measure the health of the eye. Studies show that the density of the macula can be adversely affected by smoking, alcohol and lifetime exposure to the sun, in other words, by free radical damage. Eating a diet high in Lutein and Zeaxanthin can help maintain optimum macular density and give protection to the whole eye.
