Optic-Plus provides vitamins, minerals, antioxidant enzymes, botanical extracts, and key carotenoids to support healthy ocular function.* As we age, we become susceptible to vision irregularities due to environmental exposure such as ultraviolet (UV) light, poor lifestyle habits and dietary inadequacies. Specific nutrients can play an important role in ocular health. Certain important antioxidants, such as those found in the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, can scavenge free radicals, protecting against oxidative damage to the lens and cornea of the eye.* Anthocyanidins from bilberry extract have also been shown to contribute to visual acuity.* In addition to the nutrients noted above, vitamins A, C, E, and riboflavin have all shown to be protective against normal age-related ocular decline, as have important minerals such as zinc and selenium.*
