Your eyes are the windows of the world. Support your eye health through the lens of supplements (and the advice of your eye health professional).* Puritan’s Pride eye health supplements feature nutrients like lutein, beta carotene and zeaxanthin to help support your vision and help maintain normal and healthy eyesight.
Most of our eyes are exposed to blue light when looking at screens for several hours a day, whether it’s on our phones or in front of computers. This can lead to occasional eye strain and fatigue.
Contrast sensitivity is what allows you to recognize objects separately. When it’s dark or nighttime, having good contrast sensitivity is handy as it can be harder to distinguish objects from one another in low-light conditions (also known as night vision).
Lutein supports antioxidant health and is found in many leafy greens and colorful fruits and can help filter damaging blue light and promote contrast sensitivity.* Lutein is naturally stored in the eyes, but because it isn’t produced by the body, it needs to be obtained through your diet or through supplementation. Introduce lutein to your diet through the right food sources and in a complex supplement to help support healthy eyes—especially if you spend lots of time looking at screens.*
Zeaxanthin goes hand in hand with lutein and helps combat free radicals.* Free radicals can cause oxidative stress, which may damage cells. Zeaxanthin is found in the macula, the very center of the eye that processes vision directly in front of you. Like lutein, zeaxanthin cannot be made in the body and must be obtained from dietary sources. You can find zeaxanthin in natural foods such as leafy greens, corn, and eggs. Taking this nutrient in a supplement with lutein can help potentiate maintaining healthy eye function.*
What gives carrots its orange color? Beta carotene is a member of the colorful carotenoid family that transforms into vitamin A (retinol) which features antioxidant properties to support skin and eye health.* Throw this supplement into your daily stack as either a 3,000 mcg (10,000 IU) or 7,500 mcg (25,000 IU) softgel depending on your needs, or alongside other antioxidant health-supporting friends like lutein.*
Astaxanthin supports antioxidant health and is found in certain algae and seafood.* Incorporate astaxanthin as a 5mg or 10mg supplement.
