Formulated from ingredients based on proven scientific study, Natureville’s Eye Care Support contains a powerful blend of Omega-3s derived from the purest fish oil, along with important nutrients including lutein, zeaxanthin, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and zinc to promote healthy vision.* Nutritional science shows these ingredients work in synergy and are more effective when taken combined.*
Omega-3s from fish oil are proven to maintain healthy structure and function of the ocular tissue by nourishing the cells of our eyes and protecting eyes from oxidative stress.*1-2 Scientific research indicates higher intake of Omega3’s is associated with decreased likelihood of having age-related macular degeneration.*3-4 The risk of cataracts may also be reduced by a higher intake of Omega-3 fatty acids and consumption of fish.*5
Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoid antioxidants that support the fine vision associated with the retina of the eye.* When ingested, they are deposited primarily in the retina and lens, where it filters harmful UV rays.*6 By helping to keep harmful elements out, both lutein and zeaxanthin defend the eyes against cell breakdown.*7 In a study, it was concluded that taking just 10mg of lutein per day for one year contributed to healthy vision.*6
