A large randomized, doubleblind, placebo-controlled clinical trial involving 3,600 individuals indicates that these nutrients are critical to maintain the health of the retina and macula. EyeProtect Basics contains clinically researched levels of these nutrients in optimally bioavailable forms. Lutein and zeaxanthin are the two major carotenoids stored in the macula, the central part of the retina. They support retinal health by promoting the integrity and density of the macular pigment, acting as antioxidants and light filters to protect the ocular tissue. Clinical trials indicate that the combination of lutein (10 mg/d) and zeaxanthin (2 mg/d) supports macular pigment density, color distinction capacity, and recovery from light-induced stress. The formula is offered in versions with and without zinc.
