Best Eye Health Supplements
Our eyes must constantly combat daily light and radiation exposure. If antioxidants run low, then eye stress and eye wear-and-tear follows. Research shows that antioxidants help nourish and protect the eyes, helping to maintain healthy eyesight and vision.*
A basic supplement program for eye health should include a multiple antioxidant, such as Daily Protector, which is designed to boost the glutathione defense system as well as provide eye friendly nutrients like lutein and zeaxanthin to protect the macular pigment in the eye.* The omega-3 oil DHA is highly concentrated in your retina. Supplementing mercury-free fish oil high in DHA has been shown to benefit eye health and eye hydration.* Astaxanthin is a unique carotenoid antioxidant that nourishes the eye tissue and retina.*
Best Supplements for Eye Health
Daily Protector Eye & Immune™
Daily Protector™ is like a multivitamin for your eyes! It is full of nutrients and antioxidants obtained from fruits and vegetables. Our eyes are exposed to ongoing UVA and UVB radiation and daily use wear-and-tear. The retina, macula, lens, and other parts of the eye require a diet rich in colorful antioxidants to support normal function and structure. Nutrients like lutein, zinc, carotenoids, zeaxanthin, and bilberry are some of the key nutrients essential for eye health. Daily Protector™ contains these nutrients in highly absorbable forms for eye health.*
Daily DHA™
DHA is omega-3 fish oil essential for eye and brain health. DHA is highly concentrated in the retina and is needed for healthy eyes and natural eye moisture. DHA is commonly lacking in the diet, so supplementation is important. DHA is also recommended during pregnancy for eyesight and brain cell development. Daily DHA is mercury-free, molecularly distilled fish oil in the preferred triglyceride form. It is a highly absorbable, no-burp fish oil high in the desirable DHA. DHA also supports mood, learning, cardiovascular health, and bone health.*
Astaxanthin
Reduced price!Astaxanthin is a fat and water soluble antioxidant well known for its versatility and power. It provides UV-light protection and helps reduce eye strain. Astaxanthin is from the natural carotene family that provides unique antioxidant support for outer cell membrane, inside the cell and mitochondria through the eyes and body. Studies demonstrate protection against UV radiation, which helps support healthy eyesight. Astaxanthin is often used to help reduce eye strain and support healthy vision. It helps nourish the retina and blood vessels within the eye.*
GI & Muscle Helper™
Reduced price!Each time we blink, the mucous membranes in our eyes provide a protective lubricant and shield to irritants. Eye strain, computer work, and allergies increase demands on our eyes which may result in loss of natural lubrication. GI & Muscle Helper contains the nutrient NAG (N-acetyl-d-glucosamine), which helps make mucin that is needed for keeping mucous membranes moist. It works well with Daily DHA for natural eye moisture. GI & Muscle Helper also supports digestive tract lining and muscle strength.*
Carnosine
Reduced price!The glycation, or caramelization, of healthy structures is akin to cementing them with sugar; like letting honey sit on a counter until it hardens. Carnosine is a unique dipeptide that helps reduce the glycation of eye tissue and other body tissue. It has been shown to protect the retina when the eye is under stress. Carnosine also helps support healthy ocular pressure and reduce retinal stress from nearsightedness.*
Lipoic Acid, R-Alpha
Reduced price!R-alpha lipoic acid works with other antioxidants like zinc, selenium, and n-acetyl cysteine (in Daily Protector) to nourish delicate nerve tissues and the lining of blood vessels. It helps the body convert glucose to energy and protects against oxidative stress. It helps rejuvenate nerves, build glutathione, and support the health of high energy tissue like the eyes. We use the advanced form of R-alpha lipoic acid called Na-RALA which can reach 10-30 times higher peak blood levels than regular RALA.*
B, Super Coenzyme B Complex™
Reduced price!The eyes require several B vitamins for health. Blood vessels in the eye can accumulate toxic homocysteine, which contributes to eye disorders. Vitamin B6, B12, and folate are necessary to metabolize homocysteine. Vitamin B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, and folate help protect the eye lens and macula. B vitamins are also essential for healthy nerve and muscle function within and around the eye. Super Coenzyme B Complex contains the most absorbable forms of B vitamins, the activated form of folate called methylfolate, and choline. It also helps energy production, stress tolerance, mood, and hair strength.*
PhosphatidylSerine
Reduced price!PhosphatidylSerine (PS) is a special phospholipid found in nerve-rich tissues, cell membranes, and the brain. It is commonly taken for memory and cognitive function. It is also shown to help protect the eyes from blue-light compounds, like from computers and cell phones. PS supports the eyes, nerve cell membranes, and electrical activity, as it provides a negative charge to cell membranes. This helps repel free radicals and support the health of nerves, macular, and other eye tissues. It works synergistically with choline, DHA, and astaxanthin.*
Strengthener Plus™
Reduced price!Zinc is a critical mineral for eye health. Several tissues like DNA, proteins, lipids, and connective tissues require zinc for healthy function. Vision changes and eye stress may occur when zinc status is compromised. Zinc is needed to activate various antioxidants and enzyme systems that help protect the eye nerve tissue. Daily Protector contains some zinc, however, some people need more. White spots on the nails, a vegetarian diet, a poor diet, or low sex drive indicate a higher need for zinc. Growing children and the elderly also have higher zinc needs. Your body needs zinc for a healthy immune system, healthy skin, reproduction, and thyroid function.*
