Eye Formulas
A number of nutrients and eye formulas have been shown to reduce age related macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in the elderly. Many studies suggest that oxidative changes are associated with the development of cataracts, thus supporting a critical role for antioxidants in vision health. Nutrients that keep the heart and blood vessels healthy also play a role in supporting the many miniscule blood vessels that feed the retina. Numerous studies also lend support to the role of carotenoids and macular pigments in vision health.
