As a nation, being fit & healthy has never been more important to us. We are all aware that for optimum health we should take regular exercise & eat five portions of fruit & vegetables a day, but how many of us worry about the state of our eyes until we start to experience problems? This lack of awareness about eye health could help to explain why many of us suffer from unnecessary visual problems as we grow older.ICaps® can help maintain healthy eyes, although food supplementation should not be used as a substitute for a healthy diet. It may also make up for nutrients you may not be getting enough of through your daily diet, especially Lutein & Zeaxanthin. These are important for the maintenance of healthy eyes, but few people in the UK have even heard of them! Lutein & Zeaxanthin cannot be produced naturally by the body so we must include a source of these carotenoids within our diet. They can be found in green, leafy vegetables such as spinach, broccoli & cabbage, but it may be difficult to consume enough of these to provide the recommended daily amounts of Lutein & Zeaxanthin needed. This is where ICaps® may help, packed full of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals & carotenoids, ICaps® offers the equivalent of four portions of fruit & vegetables per day. Many supplements contain 100% RDA (Recommended Daily Amount) of vitamins & minerals. While this may be sufficient to avoid overall deficiency, studies have suggested that these levels are too low to have much of a positive effect on eye health. Some of the nutrients in ICaps® are therefore deliberately set above the RDA to provide maximum benefit.ICaps® is the most widely recommended supplement for eye health by ophthalmologists, especially aimed at people aged 40 years & over.
