ICaps Lutein and Zeaxanthin Formula Dietary Supplement 60 ct

Lutein is an antioxidant carotenoid that occurs in nature with zeaxanthin, a closely related carotenoid. Lutein and zeaxanthin concentrate in the eyes macula and lens, as well as in the skin, breast and cervical tissues. Both lutein and zeaxanthin protect the eyes from oxidative stress. The macula is responsible for focus and color differentiation. Lutein and zeaxanthin are found in dark green, leafy vegetables. While the average American intake of lutein is only 2 mg per day, other population groups consume up to 20 to 25 mg per day.

OcuGuard Plus with Lutein, Zeaxanthin and Vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) is an advanced vitamin and antioxidant nutritional supplement specifically formulated to support healthy vision and promote vision clarity. Each easy-to-swallow capsule provides a special combination of micronutrients the eyes may require, including lutein, Zeaxanthin and beta-carotene, which are potent antioxidant carotenoids. Lutein is the most abundant cartenoid in vruits and vegetables, and is found to be highly concentrated in the macula of the eye. Combining Lutein and Zeaxanthin cartenoids with Vitamin D3 provides dual-action macular support for healthy eyes and vision clarity. Other nutrients included in this synergistic formula are zinc from zinc picolinate (a chelated form of zinc that is easy for the body to absorb and use), natural Vitamin E, Vitamin C, selenium and much more.

Lutein is a yellow or orange pigment found in some fruits and vegetables. Lutein is the only carotene identified in the ocular crystalline lens and it is found in the center of the retina of the eye, in the macula lutea (yellow spot), as a part of the macular pigments. The yellow spot of the eye constitutes the region of maximum visual acuity. As an antioxidant, Lutein reduces the damage of free radicals in that part of the eye. Researches believe that the consumption of Lutein can decelerate the degeneration of the yellow spot of the eye. Recent studies have found that Lutein is essential for normal vision, and that it plays a very important role in reducing the risk of contracting cardiac and cardiovascular diseases because it lowers cholesterol and slows down atherosclerosis, the thickening of arteries. Some studies suggest that Lutein offers certain protection against breast cancer and tumors in general.
