A complex diet
supplement meant for improving the functioning of the eyes and
protecting them against hazardous radiation and other unfavourable
environmental factors. The supplement contains the most important
ingredients responsible for the good condition and health of your eyes:
lutein, taurine, citrus bioflavonoids, vitamin C, selenium and zinc.
Why does eyesight
deteriorate with age?
Due to the ageing
process on our organism, our eyesight gets poorer. The speed of this
process, however, depends on various factors. Radiation generated by
computers and TVs, environmental toxins, inappropriate diets and
various diseases cause release of huge amounts of free radicals which
destroy structural elements of the eyes and lead to serious problems
with eyesight. In order to diminish the influence of these unfavourable
factors and at the same time prevent deterioration of the process of
vision, suitable protection of eyes by providing necessary nutritious
substances is necessary.
How does lutein benefit
the eyes?
It is currently believed that
lutein
is one of the most important ingredients influencing the protection of
our eyes. This nutrient belongs to the group of cartenoids and acts as
a filter absorbing hazardous radiation and eliminating free radicals
damaging the eyes. The human organism is not able to produce this
substance itself, and that is why the eyes need to receive the proper
amount either through the food we eat or in the form of a supplement.
Research conducted in the USA showed that daily administration of
lutein reduces the risk of damaging the yellow spot of the eye (macula
lutea) by 40% and the risk of cataracts by 50%.
LUTEIN BIO-COMPLEX
® contains the
highest
dose of
lutein
available on the market
(as
much as 20 mg per 1 capsule!).
LUTEIN
BIO-COMPLEX® also contains other ingredients strengthening
eyesight
This carefully developed
diet supplement contains, besides lutein, various additional nutritious
substances which strengthen the eyesight and protect the eyes against
hazardous environmental factors. Selenium, zinc and taurine are
particularly worth mentioning. Selenium
combined with vitamin C and citrus flavonoids prevents the retina from
being damaged by free oxygen radicals, which can be produced both under
the influence of environmental factors (wrong diet, stimulants) as well
as psychological stress. Selenium is an extremely important ingredient
of enzymes impeding damage to the cell membrane, therefore suitable
intake of this substance is crucial for a proper functioning of the
eyes.
What role do taurine and
zinc play in the process of vision?
Taurine, similarly
to selenium, destroys free radicals which can damage the retina. The
fact that some animals (e.g. cats or foxes) whose organism is unable to
produce taurine can rapidly lose their eyesight as a result of its
deficiency proves how important this substance is for the eyes.
Although a human organism can produce this amino acid itself, its
amount can be insufficient for full eye protection once the organism is
exposed to unfavourable environmental factors, bad diet or stress. Zinc also performs a
protective function by boosting the activity of enzymes destroying free
radicals within the eyes. Moreover, this element facilitates the
transformation of vitamin A into retinol in the retina, which helps the
eyes to function well in the dark.
Who should use LUTEIN
BIO-COMPLEX® preparation?
This complex diet supplement is particularly meant for people whose
eyes are exposed to radiation generated by computer or TV screens. It
is also recommended as a preventive measure for the weakening of vision
with age.
