Vitacost Synergy Eye Defense Formula Capsules

What is Eye Defense Formula?

Eye Defense Formula is a combination formula providing a variety of nutrients to support eye health.* Included are antioxidants such as vitamins A, C and E, plus nutrients known for their role in helping to maintain healthy vision, including:*

• Lutein and zeaxanthin, members of the carotenoid family (nutrients found naturally in the macula of the human retina). The macula, located in the center of the retina, is responsible for producing the sharp, central vision needed to see fine detail (for reading, sewing, etc.).
• Natural mixed carotenoids as Betatene®, a high-quality, patented mixture of carotenoids extracted from nutrient-rich algae. Carotenoids have long been understood to play an important part in eye health because they’re concentrated in the macula and have an antioxidant role.*
• Bilberry, a close relative of the blueberry and a natural source of biologically active components, including anthocyanosides. Anthocyanosides are antioxidants.
