Optivita Plus
-
Our vision supplement OPTIVITA PLUS contains two Award Winning Ingredients, Lutemax 2020 , Astareal (Astaxanthin) , Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Zinc, Copper, Bilberry extract and Omega-3 essential fatty acids. These essential nutrients may reduce the risk of cataracts provides antioxidants for the maintenance of eye health . This premium eye health formula is based off the well-known and government agency National Eye Institute AREDS 2 studies. Our AREDS 2 Eye Vitamins with Lutein & Zeaxanthin and Astaxanthin will work best for adults over 50 who want to improve macular health with a comprehensive AREDS2 Eye Vitamins formula. The B.L.U.E. Study showed that macular carotenoids from Lutemax 2020 supplementation have beneficial effects on vision health, performance, sleep quality as well as reducing eye strain and fatigue during long duration exposure to blue light emitting digital screens. Our Eye health formula supports all three macular carotenoids.

It is believed that lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin in the macula block blue light from reaching the underlying structures in the retina, thereby reducing the risk of light-induced oxidative damage that could lead to macular degeneration (AMD).
A number of studies have found that lutein and zeaxanthin either help prevent AMD or may slow progression of the disease:
Research published in Nutrition & Metabolism found that a nutritional supplement containing meso-zeaxanthin, lutein and zeaxanthin effectively increased the optical density of the macular pigment in eyes of the majority of human subjects. The macular pigment is believed to offer protection against the development of macular degeneration.
Studies published in American Journal of Epidemiology, Ophthalmology and Archives of Ophthalmology found higher levels of lutein and zeaxanthin in the diet are associated with a lower incidence of AMD.
Two studies published in Investigative Ophthalmology and Visual Science found that eyes with greater levels of macular pigments were less likely to have or develop macular degeneration.
In research published in Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, the study authors conclude that lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin filter short-wavelength light and prevent or reduce the generation of free radicals in the eye.
In a study published in the journal Optometry, participants with early AMD who consumed 8 mg per day of dietary zeaxanthin for one year improved their night driving and their visual acuity improved an average of 1.5 lines on an eye chart.
