• Essential carotenoids which are clinically proven for healthy vision

• May protect from damaging ultra-violet light.

• Powerful antioxidants

• most multi vites have 1 mg or less lutein (10-20mg) recommended)

Macular degeneration is a leading cause of vision loss in the elderly. Bio availability of lutein increases when taken with fat. Compliments omega 3 caps. Low toxicity. Recommended ratio of lutein/zeaxanthin= 5/1.
