Vision Support

Learn More About Vision Support Products

Vision Support products are designed to support eye and vision health, particularly the macula. The macula is an area at the center of your retina and is responsible for what you see straight in front of you. It supports not only your ability to read and write, but is also responsible for seeing colors. However, the aging process and other factors can have a negative effect on macula health. As a result, you need to make sure your eyes are getting the nutrients they need for optimal function.

The vision support products available at Natural Healthy Concepts often contain lutein and zeaxanthin. These nutrients are carotenoids, which are yellow to red pigments found in vegetables and other plants. In plants, lutein and zeaxanthin work to absorb excess light energy, so the plants aren’t damaged from too much sunlight. These carotenoids seek to work particularly against high-energy blue light rays.

Food Sources of Lutein and Zeaxanthin Include:

• Spinach
• Kale
• Collards
• Corn
• Green peas
• Eggs
• Oranges
• Broccoli

Lutein and zeaxanthin are also present in the macula, which is what gives it its yellowish color. It is thought that these nutrients also work in the eye to protect from blue light and light-induced oxidative damage. Because they are carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin are also sources of antioxidants, so they work to protect cells from damaging free radicals that seek to harm healthy cells. This function also seeks to protect the lens from cataracts.

In addition to supplements that offer lutein and zeaxanthin, we also provide options that seek to support vision health with nutrients like omega-3 essential fatty acids, amino acids, and botanical extracts like blueberry and bilberry.
