Pharmacological properties
The composition of Nutrofa Total was developed by ophthalmologists and nutritionists who specialize in the study of the retina.
The supplement contains vitamins and trace elements that have an antioxidant effect, omega-3 essential fatty acids, zeaxanthin, lutein, and red grape extract containing 5% resveratrol. The action of Nutrofa total is aimed at eliminating the deficiency of these substances, which occurs due to age-related changes or adherence to a meager diet (unbalanced, containing an insufficient amount of fish, vegetables and fruits).
Free radicals are molecules that are formed during cell metabolism. With their excess, damage may develop in the structure of lipids, proteins and DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), which leads to a deterioration in the functional state of cells. In the absence of violations of physiological conditions, the formation of free radicals is suppressed by the defense system, in which antioxidants are actively involved. With age or with an unbalanced diet, an antioxidant deficiency may develop. In such cases, it is possible to fill the deficiency that has appeared with the help of medicines / dietary supplements.
The main properties of the components of Nutrofa total:
- vitamin C: found in vegetables and fruits; takes part in the neutralization of free radicals and the reduction processes of oxidized vitamin E (is a tocopherol radical);
- vitamin E: found in vegetable oils; has an antioxidant effect, helps to protect cell membranes, as well as fatty acids from oxidation;
- Selenium: Found in eggs, fish, shellfish, mushrooms, garlic, cereals, and meats is a cofactor for glutathione peroxidases (GSHPx), which are antioxidant enzymes that are a major defense against free oxygen radicals;
- zinc: found in fish and meat; is a natural activator of more than 200 enzymes; acts through complex mechanisms as an antioxidant;
- copper: found in dried fruits, shellfish and organ meats; takes part in the process of removing free radicals; absorption of copper at high doses of zinc worsens, therefore, the simultaneous use of two substances is desirable;
- Zeaxanthin and Lutein (Nutrofa Total contains marigold extract): Found in some green vegetables such as spinach, broccoli and lettuce are present in the retina of the eye, forming a filter from the light rays of the blue part of the spectrum; lutein also acts as an antioxidant that protects the retina from oxidative damage;
- resveratrol (Nutrofa total is included in the form of red grape extract): found in some fruits, especially grapes, and also in wine; known as an inhibitor of low-density lipoprotein oxidation, eicosanoid synthesis (inflammation molecules) and platelet aggregation;
- omega-3 essential fatty acids - eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA): found in fatty fish such as tuna, salmon and herring; are the structural components of cell membranes.
As a result of using Nutrof total, the following effects develop:
- protection of the organs of vision from excess free radicals;
- preservation of visual acuity;
- ensuring normal vision functions.
