FloraGlo Lutein Plus
Numerous peer-reviewed studies link the important eye-health benefits of the
natural antioxidant lutein—sometimes referred to as the “eye
protective nutrient.” The aging process can be associated with age-related
macular degeneration and other serious optical conditions that adversely impact
eye health and quality of vision.
These studies report the importance of consuming lutein—from dietary
supplements and traditional dietary sources-- in increasing macular pigment
optical density (MPOD) and reducing the likelihood of age-related macular and
other serious conditions.
Zeaxanthin Research performed at
Schepens Eye Research Institute and Department of Ophthalmology, Harvard Medical
School has established that natural dietary zeaxanthin (zee-uh-zan'-thin) plays
an essential role in protecting the retina of the eye from the damaging effects
of light.
Bilberry (Vaccinum myrtillus) has been shown in studies to
improve the reaction of the eye to darkness. Bilberry is effective because it
supports the regeneration of retinol purple -- also called visual purple -
usually a very slow process: studies of bilberry extract on individuals
with retinitis pigmentosa and hemeralopia (inability to see distinctly in bright
light) have demonstrated significant improvement in vision.
