Preser Vision Original Softgels: Preserving eye health becomes increasingly critical with age, and individuals prone to age-related changes affecting their vision may benefit from high intake supplementation. Preser Vision Original high-potency anti-oxidant supplement is specially formulated to help preserve eye health in individuals susceptible to age-related changes to their vision. Preser Vision Original contains Beta-carotene & Vitamins C&E with Zinc. It is based on the Preser Vision tablet formulation which was developed in conjunction with the National Eye Institute (NEI) in the USA, & is designed to help preserve vision. Vitamin C is a water-soluble dietary antioxidant & free-radical scavenger. It is found naturally in foods such as citrus & soft fruits, leafy green vegetables & potatoes. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble dietary antioxidant which helps maintain cell membrane integrity & is abundant in the retina. It is found in vegetables, fat spreads & cereal. Zinc acts as a co-factor in several enzymatic pathways which limit oxidative damage. Beta-carotene & Lutein are members of the carotenoid family & are both powerful antioxidants: Beta-carotene acts as a precursor to Vitamin A, which supports the neurological response related to the photoreceptors. Main dietary sources of beta-carotene include yellow & green (leafy) vegetables & fruits. Carrots, spinach, broccoli, peppers, pink grapefruit, tomato juice, & peaches are all sources of beta-carotene. Beta Carotene should not be taken by smokers Lutein, which protects the eyes from harmful wavelengths of light, is found naturally in the macula at the back of the eye but has to be obtained from dietary intake. Dietary sources include egg yolk & dark, leafy vegetables, such as spinach & broccoli. Because these sources contain small quantities of lutein, even balanced diets often do not contain enough lutein to realise its benefits. Preser Vision Lutein contains no beta-carotene, therefore suitable for smokers & ex-smokers.
