Lutein, a carotenoid found in dark green leafy vegetables, is a dominant pigment in the macular region of the eye
Bilberry extract contains biologically active flavonoids which support healthy vision
Beta-Carotene is another antioxidant carotenoid found naturally in dark green and orange-yellow vegetables and fruit. Unlike Lutein, Beta-carotene can be converted to Vitamin A as needed by the body. Vitamin A is necessary for proper eye function and low antioxidant levels may contribute to cataract formation
Green Tea, Ginkgo Biloba and Grapeseed extracts contain compounds called Polyphenols and Anthocyanidins. These antioxidant compounds protect blood vessels that supply needed blood flow to the eyes and peripheral tissues
Rutin and the other Bioflavonoids stabilize the collagen matrix and maintain the integrity of the vital blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients to the eyes
Vitamins C and E are antioxidants that inhibit free radical damage and are used by the body to prevent some of the degenerative patterns related to the aging process. Vitamin C may protect the eye from UV rays that can damage the lens. This kind of oxidative damage may contribute to the formation of cataracts
Taurine is a sulfur-containing amino acid that is the most abundant amino acid in the retina of the eye and plays a role in healthy vision
Selenium and Zinc are minerals that help the body to produce the important antioxidants Glutathione and SOD, which protect eye tissues from oxidative damage
What Causes Vision Loss?
The eye is a very important sensory organ, which is shown by the fact that a large area of our brain is committed to taking in and understanding visual information. Up to 70% of all of the sensory receptors in the body are in the eyes. Problems with the eyes become more common as we age.
There two main causes of degenerative eye conditions:
- Free radical damage
- Decreased blood flow to the eye
Free radicals are unstable molecules that in their bid to become more stable must bump into healthy cells and cause damage. This can cause cell death, alterations in genetic material and autoimmune reactions to damaged cells. Food, water and ultraviolet radiation from the sun are the major contributors of free radicals that build up in the eye.
The eyes reflect the overall health of the body. The vessels on the back of the eyeball are very small and fragile. Changes in them are often the first sign of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension and atherosclerosis. These conditions lead to decreased blood flow to the retina. Lack of oxygen and an accumulation of waste products eventually compromises vision.
Poor diet, environmental toxins, medications and stress all decrease the body's ability to neutralize free radicals and maintain healthy vessels. This can result in eye degeneration, occurring in cataracts, macular degeneration, and glaucoma.
