Blackmores Macu-Vision Plus 60 Tablets

Background Information Macu-Vision Plus is an antioxidant eyes formula containing nutrients that may help to protect against free radical damage in the macula. The macula is responsible for providing acute, central vision. Our ability to read, recognise faces, see fine detail and drive, all rely on the macula. Antioxidants such as vitamin E, vitamin C, lutein and zeaxanthin are found in high concentrations in the eye. The eye is susceptible to oxidative damage as it is constantly exposed to the effects of light and oxygen. Due to their chemical structure, lutein and zeaxanthin have the ability to scavenge free radicals and may help to protect the macula from oxidative damage. Supplementation with lutein and zeaxanthin may increase macular pigment density. Higher macular pigment density may be associated with improved visual sensitivity at lower light levels. Lutein and zeaxanthin may help to filter high-energy blue light, aiding eye function and may help to protect the cells from light induced damage. MacuVision Plus is an eyes formula that provides nutrients important to the macular region of the eye and may also help maintain the density of the protective macular pigment of the eye.
