High potency antioxidant formula for eyes
- Individuals with low plasma concentrations of carotenoids and antioxidant vitamins are at increased risk for undesirable age-related changes in the eyes; carotenoids and antioxidant vitamins may help to retard some of these destructive processes. (Am J Clin Nutr 1995 Dec;62(6 Suppl):1448S-1461S)
- Dietary supplementation with lutein may exert protective effects with respect to undesirable age-related changes in the eyes. (Exp Eye Res 1997 Jul;65(1):57-62)
- The flavonoid quercetin protects against pro-oxidant insults to the eyes. (Biochem Soc Trans 1997 Nov;25(4):S581)
- Ginkgo biloba extract has an antioxidant, free-radical scavenger effect on the retina; it inhibits or reduces damage caused by oxidative insults. (Int J Tissue React 1995;17(3):93-100)
