Product Description ------------------- Eye Essentials is a high-potency lutein and zeaxanthin product to be taken either on its own, or with any Viteyes formula. What makes lutein unique from other antioxidants such as C or beta-carotene is the fact that it is highly concentrated in the macula, the part of the eye that's responsible for central vision. Like lutein, zeaxanthin is found in the macula, however it is much more concentrated in the centre part of the macula compared to lutein. Lutein and zeaxanthin are two of over 600 known carotenoids. They are believed to be important for the eye because they are found in high doses at the macula - the central part of our eye responsible for vision and affected by macular degeneration. For this reason they, along with meso-zeaxanthin which is made from lutein in the body, are termed 'macular pigments'. Their role in macular heath is not fully known, but they are thought to play an important role by absorbing damaging blue wavelengths of light and acting as anti-oxidants, helping 'mop-up' damaging 'free radicals'.Lutein and zeaxanthin are not made in the body so have to be consumed in our diets and that is why they are considered the most interesting constituents for use in dietary supplements. They give some food their characteristic colour e.g. sweet peppers, saffron, sweetcorn. They are found in higher quantities in green leafy vegetables like spinach and kale. When they age and start to turn yellow, this is the lutein you are seeing. Some people have lower macular pigment levels (either naturally or due to diet or weight issues) and this may put them at a greater risk of developing macular degeneration. Most studies use a dose of 10mg lutein to look for a protective effect but most European diets are thought to only contain about 3mg a day.
