NOW Foods - Macular Vision - 50 softgels

Improves Visual Sharpness and Focus

• Promotes optimal visual sharpness and focus
• Contains clinically tested XanthoSight®
• Enhances visual performance

NOW® Macular Vision contains XanthoSight®, an ingredient comprised of lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin in clinically tested proportions that have been shown to promote optimal eye health, visual performance, and cognitive function. Carotenoids such as lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin are concentrated in the macula, a region of the eye responsible for focus and color differentiation. In the macula, these pigments function as a filter for blue light that can damage cells. Meso-zeaxanthin is concentrated in the central region of the macula, which is responsible for detailed central vision. Unlike lutein and zeaxanthin, meso-zeaxanthin is not obtained through the diet or found in most eye support products. To improve bioavailability, XanthoSight® is formulated with fish oil.

Clinically Tested Ingredients

XanthoSight® in NOW Foods Macular Vision has undergone rigorous clinical testing to ensure its effectiveness and benefits for eye health. Studies have shown that this unique combination of lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin in the right proportions can enhance visual sharpness, focus, and performance.

Research on Carotenoids and Eye Health

Research has shown that carotenoids, including lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin, play an essential role in maintaining optimal eye health. These nutrients have antioxidant properties and protect the eye's cells from oxidative stress and damage caused by free radicals. By functioning as a filter for blue light, carotenoids can help reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts.

Bioavailability and Synergistic Effect

An important factor for the effectiveness of eye support products is the bioavailability of the active ingredients. NOW Foods Macular Vision contains XanthoSight® formulated with fish oil to improve the bioavailability of the carotenoids. Fish oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which have been shown to have beneficial effects on eye health. By combining carotenoids with fish oil, NOW Foods Macular Vision enhances their effect and promotes an overall improvement in vision and eye health.
