This is an eye health formulation that includes combination of carotenoids- astaxanthin, lutein and zeaxanthin along with omega-3 fatty acids which supports and maintains eye health, boosts the pigment in the retina, promotes macular pigment density and help people with age related macular degeneration (AMD). This supplement contains carotenoid for eye health which is found in high levels in macula. These compounds are the only carotenoids capable of filtering the harmful blue light that can damage cells in the eye, the rods and the cones. A thin macular pigment can allow the blue light through and destroy the cells. So, maintaining levels of lutein, astaxanthin and zeaxanthin is important for maintaining eye health and reducing the risk of AMD. Human eye requires targeted nutrition to support healthy tissue and clear vision. Our vision is a precious sense, and one that we should not take for granted. While we may supplement our diets with nutrients to enhance our overall wellbeing, we tend to overlook our eyesight as a necessary part of our health to maintain. So good nutrition is important to keep your eyes healthy and functioning their best throughout your lifetime. In this supplement, Astaxanthin, Lutein and Zeaxanthin with omega 3 fatty acids are very important nutrients which may reduce risk for macular degeneration (MD) and cataract and which combined together for their effect on improving eye health & function.

he main functions of this combination are:
Lutein and zeaxanthin play a role in preventing macular degeneration or reducing the risk of progression of the diseases and protect the retina
Astaxanthin, an antioxidant that can promote eye health
Omega-3 fatty acids are important for eye's retina and for light and dark perception
Lutein and Zeaxanthin with Astaxanthin against macular degeneration:
The macula pigment breaks down throughout one's life, however, and the function degenerates due to various influences, such as UV light or prolonged
computer work. This process - age conditional macula degeneration (AMD) - is insidious and painless. Normally, reading becomes difficult at some point because
grey shadows appear in the middle of the text and distort the letters. Astaxanthin kills free radicals in your body, staving off age related diseases like macular
degeneration, by preventing these unstable molecules from damaging your cells. It is therefore important to maintain an adequate supply of these carotenoids.
Omega-3 fatty acids protect the retina:
The omega-3 fatty acids alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docasehexaenoic acid (DHA) are long-chain, polyunsaturated fatty acids.
EPA and DHA are important building blocks for cell membranes and are essential for cell growth and regeneration. They also make many contributions to eye
health. DHA plays an especially important role in the retina. It keeps the cell membranes flexible (fluidity), which is a vital cell function. It also supports
rhodopsin formation and activity, which is a component of "visual purple" in the rod cells (photoreceptors) of the eye's retina and is important for light and dark
perception. At the same time, DHA can protect the photoreceptors from "biological cell death" (apoptosis) by oxidative stress. Another protective mechanism of
the omega-3 fatty acids could be based on anti-inflammatory characters, such as the formation of anti-inflammatory active substances.
Pregnant a nd lactating mothers should not take any single supplement in higher-than- normal doses unless recommended by a health-care provider for a special condition. The combination should only be used in pregnancy and lactation if benefits outweigh the risks. Stay on the safe side and avoid use.
