Health First Vision Supreme 100s

Vision health has become a topic of great concern as up to 33% of the baby boomer population is affected by age-related macular degeneration. With screen time and exposure to blue light at an all-time high, eye practitioners are seeing potential for oxidative damage to the cornea, lens and retina of the eye, which can increase the risk of longer-term eye ailments even in younger generations.

The eye-health benefits of key antioxidants were uncovered in two large studies: the Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2 (AREDS 2) looked at the impact of specific doses of vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, copper and zeaxanthin on age-related macular degeneration, and the Lutein Antioxidant Supplementation Trial (LAST) focused on the effects of lutein. Amazingly, AREDS 2 found that its combination of antioxidants reduced the risk of age-related macular degeneration progressing from intermediate to advanced by 25%. LAST found that lutein, either alone or in combination with other nutrients, did indeed result in improved visual function for people with age-related macular degeneration.
