Why These Natural Ingredients?
Lipoic Acid
Alpha-lipoic acid is most widely known and used as an antioxidant. Lipoic acid is able to “recharge” other antioxidants such as vitamins E and C, and glutathione and has been shown in studies to improve visual function.
Ginkgo Biloba
Ginkgo biloba has historically been used to increase blood flow and and is used as an antioxidant. A few studies have shown that eye tissue has a high affinity for ginkgo, making it a logical choice for eye support.
Carotenoids (Lutein, Lycopene, Zeaxanthin)
Lutein and zeaxanthin are found in high concentrations in the macula lutea portion of the eye. These two carotenoids are thought to quench free-radicals before they damage the lipid membranes. Low levels of lycopene, one of 10 carotenoids found in the serum, has also been shown to be a risk factor for poor eye health.
Bilberry
Bilberry extract contains high amounts of anthocyanadins, components used in countries such as France and Germany for night vision support.
