The effect of this product is due to the properties of its active ingredients:
- lutein and zeaxanthin: lutein is a component of visual pigments that accumulate in the lens and macular (central) region of the retina; lutein together with zeaxanthin (its isomer) perform the functions of a light filter, helping to reduce the flux of the most aggressive, blue-violet part of the visible spectrum, protect the eye structures from the destructive effects of harmful light rays;
- lycopene: is determined in significant quantities in the choroid, retinal pigment epithelium and ciliary bodies of the eye; refers to strong antioxidants, prevents the destructive effect of light on the retina, helping to maintain the health of the blood vessels of the eyes;
- bilberry fruit extract: contains anthocyanins, which are involved in the restoration of rhodopsin, the main light-sensitive pigment, and thereby improve adaptation to changes in the level of illumination; enhances the acuity of twilight vision;
- taurine: this amino acid is extremely important for the retina, since it normalizes metabolic processes in the tissues of the eye; accumulating at night, it is consumed with eye strain or against a background of bright light; the presence of taurine is necessary for eye fatigue;
- vitamin E (tocopherol): stimulates the repair of damaged cells, participates in the most important metabolic processes, including tissue respiration, protects capillaries from increased fragility and permeability;
- vitamin C (ascorbic acid): provides restoration of visual pigments in the retina, enhancing the effect of antioxidants (lutein, zeaxanthin, anthocyanins);
- Vitamin A: helps to improve color perception, is necessary for the normal course of redox processes and the production of substances vital for the function of the eyes;
- zinc: is a component of the vascular, iris and retina of the eye, helps to maintain the level of vitamin A, potentiating its effect.
