How Lutein and Zeaxanthin Protect Your Eyes from Harmful Light

Our eyes are exposed to various environmental factors daily, from UV radiation to blue light emitted by screens and digital devices. Fortunately, there are micronutrients that actively protect our eyes from these dangers. Two of the most important of these are Lutein and Zeaxanthin, which are contained in OCUFORTE.

Lutein and Zeaxanthin: The "Eye Protection Filters"

Lutein and Zeaxanthin are part of the carotenoid group and are found in high concentrations in the macula—the central part of the retina responsible for sharp vision. These two antioxidants act like natural "sunglasses" for the eyes by filtering out harmful blue light and UV radiation.

Protection from Oxidative Stress and AMD

Oxidative stress is a major risk factor for the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), one of the most common causes of vision deterioration in older adults. Lutein and Zeaxanthin have antioxidant properties that can protect the eyes from damage caused by free radicals that arise from oxidative stress.

Regular intake of Lutein and Zeaxanthin reduces the risk of developing AMD. These carotenoids not only help protect the retina but also improve vision in low light and twilight conditions, which is particularly beneficial as we age.

Why OCUFORTE?

OCUFORTE contains a carefully selected combination of Lutein and Zeaxanthin to support your eyes and protect them from the daily stress caused by harmful light. These micronutrients are provided in their bioavailable form, meaning they can be optimally absorbed by the body.
