Preservision 3 Capsules, 60ct

Oxidation and degeneration of cells responsible for the visual system.

Properties:
Rich in vitamins and antioxidant minerals, macular pigments (lutein and zeaxanthin), and fatty acids.

The Antioxidants:
The antioxidants (vitamins C,E, Zinc, and Copper) protect cells from the damage caused by free radicals, byproducts of metabolic oxidation reactions that are responsible for cellular aging. These reactions occur constantly, not only in the eyes but also in the rest of the body.

Lutein and Zeaxanthin:
These are components of the macular tissue located in the central zone of the retina. They are not synthesized by the body, making daily intake essential through food. Both have an antioxidant role and also act as a filter against blue light, which can be toxic to the retina.

Omega 3 Fatty Acids:
These are essential components of the body and cannot be synthesized, so they must be obtained through food. The main sources of omega 3 are fatty fish and some vegetable oils. The retina is particularly rich in omega 3 fatty acids, especially DHA, which suggests a strong implication of these lipids in visual function.
