Falling is responsible for 70 percent of accidental deaths in older people.1 Poor lighting conditions are often the culprit. Fortunately, researchers have recently identified a potent nutrient derived from black currant that specifically supports eyesight in dark conditions. Known as cyanidin-3-glucoside or C3G, this natural compound promotes the healthy function of delicate structures within the retina that help with night vision.2
Now you can protect eye health and support night vision with Super Zeaxanthin with Lutein, Meso-Zeaxanthin and C3G. Each ingredient in this enhanced formula supports factors involved in promoting healthy eyesight.
By absorbing blue light, carotenoids protect delicate photoreceptor cells in the retina’s macula from light damage. The density of your macular pigment (composed of lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin) is essential to proper vision.3-5 Unfortunately, this density declines naturally over time. Some aging people also lose their ability to convert lutein into meso-zeaxanthin inside their macula.
Eating lots of lutein- and zeaxanthin-containing vegetables can help maintain the structural integrity of their macula. These carotenoids act as antioxidants and protect the macula from damage by photo-initiated oxidative stress.5-6 However, since meso-zeaxanthin is not part of the typical diet, it cannot be replaced except in supplement form.
Super Zeaxanthin with Lutein, Meso-Zeaxanthin and C3G gives you therapeutic doses of all these ingredients to help protect your precious eyesight.
With its special combination of ingredients that protect visual acuity, Super Zeaxanthin with Lutein, Meso-zeaxanthin and C3G is an exciting breakthrough in eye care.
