Lutein provides
powerful antioxidant protection and acts as a yellow pigment
that filters out extreme blue light that can hurt the macula.
Eye specialists recommend getting 6-20 mg of lutein through
the diet each day, which is most easily obtained by taking a
dietary supplement. |
Ginkgo
is another powerful antioxidant, and it also supports healthy
blood flow* through tiny capillaries in the eyes. In a recent
study, the visual acuity of patients taking ginkgo biloba
extract improved after only four weeks. 1 |
It
has a high content of a flavonoid complex known as
anthocyanosides, which similar to ginkgo, helps support
microcirculation.* Bilberry also supports the retina of the
eye and its adaptation to light and dark conditions.* Of
interesting note, during World War II British Royal Air Force
pilots reported that their night vision improved when they
consumed bilberry jam prior to night bombing raids.
