Regardless of age, declining vision is a fact of life – due to more time spent in front of screens and insufficient nutrients for the eyes. Eye Complex has been specially developed to support optimal eye health and maintain healthy vision. The health of the retina (the light-sensitive layer of the body's camera) should be maintained by providing the eyes with important nutrients and protective substances. These protect against oxidation and help to maintain normal intraocular pressure, support the energy level of the eyes and much more.
To this end, Eye Complex contains an optimal combination of:
Lutein and zeaxanthin: Extracted from the marigold flower. Natural orange-yellow components of the visual pigments of the retina. They belong to the carotenoids and are found in the macula.
Astaxanthin: Carotenoids are yellow to reddish pigments that occur naturally in plants and certain microorganisms. They play an important role in the energy transfer of photosynthesis. They also protect these organisms from the harmful effects of sunlight. Astaxanthin, a very special carotenoid with a characteristic red colour, is produced in nature by plankton, algae and some plants, fungi and bacteria.
Blackcurrants contain anthocyanins, secondary plant substances that occur naturally in berries.
Vitamin C is bound to magnesium and is therefore not acidic. Vitamin C protects numerous vital tissues from damage caused by free radicals. Radicals are substances that occur naturally in the metabolism and are rendered harmless by protective substances such as vitamin C, provided that enough of these protective substances are available. In the eye, free radicals are produced, among other things, by the energy of incoming light. Vitamin C intercepts free radicals and thus protects lipids (e.g. cell membranes), the body's own proteins (e.g. enzymes) and nucleic acids (the ‘construction and operating instructions’ in the cell nucleus) from oxidation. Good protection contributes significantly to maintaining eye health.
Vitamin A: Essential for vision. Conversion of photoenergy (light stimuli) into neural energy (transmission through the nerves to the brain). Possible deficiency symptoms include sensitivity to glare, dryness, slowing of light-dark adaptation, night blindness, and drying of the conjunctiva and lacrimal glands.
