The ever-increasing amount of time we spend in front of screens and the evolution of our lifestyles raise a number of questions. Which foods are good for eye health? Can we take preventive action? What can we do to preserve our vision? With Lutein Plus, the Quebec company Nutripur answers these questions and helps counter the effects of certain eye diseases.
For complete support, Lutein Plus combines lutein, zeaxanthin, bilberries, blueberries and vitamin A. Each ingredient provides specific benefits.
Lutein
By absorbing blue light, lutein acts as a natural protective barrier in the retina. This carotenoid pigment is a powerful antioxidant that effectively combats free radicals. Through its action, lutein reduces the risk of certain diseases, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts..1
Lutein is an antioxidant naturally present in green vegetables and certain fruits such as blueberries.
Zeaxanthin
Zeaxanthin is an antioxidant that plays an important role in eye health. Found in abundance in certain green vegetables, such as cauliflower, zeaxanthin complements lutein in its ability to absorb blue light.
Blueberries
Some berries have interesting properties for eye health. Lutein Plus includes bilberry extract in its formula. Bilberry is rich in flavonoids, including anthocyanins, which nourish and regenerate the retinal cells involved in night vision. Bilberry also helps combat eye fatigue.1, 2
Blueberries
Blueberries stimulate blood circulation and, like bilberries, help maintain night vision. This antioxidant-rich berry is invaluable in the fight against free radicals.2
Vitamin A
Carrots are often referred to as an eye-healthy food, and that's because they're an excellent source of vitamin A. Vitamin A has a protective effect on the cornea, and works alongside lutein, zeaxanthin, bilberry and blueberry to prevent and reduce the effects of certain eye diseases, including AMD.
