DESCRIPTION Lutein & zeaxanthin are the most important constituents of the macula lutea in the eye. This yellow spot lies in the centre of the retina & is used for seeing the central section of one's field of vision, i.e. what one is looking at. As the focal point of the eye's lens, the macula lutea is the area able to perceive the finest details. For that reason it contains a high concentration of light-sensitive sensory cells (cone cells), which provide sharpness of vision & perception of colour. And so, as primary constituents of the macula lutea, lutein & zeaxanthin are crucial for sharp vision. Lutein & zeaxanthin cannot be produced by the human body, & so the body is dependent on the presence of these substances in the diet or nutritional supplements. As a person ages, external supply of these carotenoids will support the function of the eye. Most important characteristics of Lutein 2.5 mg plus: Plus product: also contains zeaxanthin in addition to lutein, both being primary constituents of the macula; Natural lutein & zeaxanthin from the petals of the African marigold (Tagetes erecta); Each tablet contains a relatively small quantity of lutein & zeaxanthin; consequently, this allows for a great deal of flexibility in dosage; Very small & therefore easy-to-swallow tablets. USE Unless otherwise advised, take 6 tablets a day during or immediately after a meal. Preferably spread your intake evenly throughout the day. WARNING Interactions with regular medication & other natural health products may occur. Please consult an expert about this. SYNERGISM Visionyl contains a variety of additional substances that serve to protect the eye & that can be used alongside this product. In such cases, the dosage of " Lutein 2.5 mg plus" can be reduced in view of the fact that Visionyl also contains lutein & zeaxanthin.
