Nine Major Eye-Strengthening Nutrients
Vitamin A An essential component of eyeball mucous membrane cells and visual pigments (a photoreceptive pigment protein). It helps prevent eye diseases and relieve eye fatigue, dryness and bloodshot eyes.
Vitamin B complex An essential component of visual cells. It works to maintain good eyesight and normal functioning of the visual nervous system.
Vitamin C A component of the lens that enhances collagen fibre formation, also decelerates ageing of lens and helps prevent UV-related retina damages through anti-oxidising action.
Vitamin E A rich source of antioxidants. It aids to protect the eyes against harmful UV rays and environmental threats and helps maintain wellbeing of the eyes.
Carotene A component of vitamin A with comparable functions, while one sixth of the carotene absorbed by the body is converted into vitamin A.
Lutein Filters the blue light in UV rays, thus prevents retina and yellow spot damage, reduces hue error as well as enhancing accuracy of vision.
Anthocyanins Protects collagen structure in eye blood vessels and provides essential nutrients for eye muscles and nerves.
Protein A major component of cells that enables damage repair and cell renewal in the eyes.
Calcium A "messenger" in the visual nervous system, which helps relax eyes tension and fatigue.
