In recent years the interest of the scientific community has been focused on two important carotenoids: the lutein and zeaxanthin, as more and increasing body of evidence demonstrates the beneficial effect of their consumption (especially lutein) to the maintenance of normal vision with increasing age.

Lutein is a yellow carotenoid, which is not manufactured by the body and therefore must be obtained through diet or supplements. Like all carotenoids Lutein is a powerful antioxidant, helping to neutralize free radicals. This biological role of lutein is particularly important, since lutein is found in high concentrations in the macula. The macula is the part of the retina responsible for detailed vision. Besides the antioxidant, lutein acts as a natural UV filter protecting the macula.

The Eyewise provides 10mg of lutein (pure, free form) per tablet, making our product one of the strongest on the market. Also contains standardized extract of blueberry (bilberry), red grape seeds (grapeseed) and raspberry (blackberry) which have strong antioxidant properties, particularly in the eye.
