Description
Vitalux Plus, 84 capsules, Alcon
Vitalux Plus food supplement contains Omega 3 fatty acids, lutein, zeaxanthin, antioxidant vitamins (C and E) and minerals (zinc), which can help vision by maintaining the function of the macula.
The body is subjected daily to elements that create oxidative stress, with a negative impact on its state of health.
Oxidative stress produces so-called free radicals, highly reactive, which can negatively affect the cells of the body, including those located at eye level, damaging them and preventing them from carrying out their vital functions.
Fortunately, the body has defense mechanisms against unwanted free radicals, and the antioxidant nutrients provided by a balanced diet and/or food supplements added to it play a key role in these defense mechanisms.
- Scientific research has shown that zinc and vitamins C and E protect the eyes from the potential damaging effect of free radicals.
- They also indicate an important role of lutein and zeaxanthin in protecting the eyes.
- Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids with an antioxidant effect, found especially in the macula lutea. A dense macula helps filter light and protect the retina from dangerous solar rays.
- Worldwide, research is being conducted to prove the benefits that long-chain Omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in fish oil bring to eye health.
- Studies have proven that DHA from fish oil is found in high concentrations in the photoreceptor cells of the eye, which provide nutrition and protection. It is considered that the dietary intake of such fatty acids maintains the functioning of the photoreceptor cells.
- In addition, EPA, another Omega 3 fatty acid from fish oil, contributes to the reduction of inflammatory processes, including those with ocular localization.
Vitalux Plus adds valuable biologically active substances to the daily diet of adults. This is sometimes necessary, because nutrition is not always balanced, and smoking, alcohol consumption, stress or excessive exposure to sunlight can cause the accumulation of free radicals.
Age-related macular degeneration is the main cause of blindness in the population over 50 years old in Western countries.
It is a progressive degenerative process that affects the macula of the eye, compromising central vision. Some measures can be taken to protect the macula.
Specifically, a healthy lifestyle, which includes regular physical exercises, an increased intake of antioxidant nutrients and the absence of "social vices" (alcohol, tobacco) would be some of these.
