Blackmores Lutein Defence™ is an antioxidant formula containing lutein and zeaxanthin that may help support healthy eye function.
It has been suggested that lutein and zeaxanthin help defend against changes to the macula by reducing oxidative damage. The macula is the area at the centre of the eye and is responsible for providing acute central vision. Our ability to read, recognise faces, see fine detail and drive, all rely on the macula. Inside the eye, lutein and zeaxanthin help to filter blue light and may help to protect the macula from light induced damage. Lutein and zeaxanthin may also help to scavenge free radicals in the eye.
The body cannot produce lutein or zeaxanthin so they must be obtained from the diet or from supplementation.
