Solgar - Bilberry Ginkgo Eyebright Complex (60 Vcaps)

Supplements for Eye Health

The formula for this supplement has been developed with people seeking natural methods to support eye health in mind.

Benefits:

• Improved vision
• Protection against oxidative stress
• Support for eye blood circulation
• Enhanced night vision
• Overall eye health

Improved Vision

The vitamins A, C, and E in this supplement play an important role in improving vision. Vitamin A, especially in the form of beta-carotene and retinyl palmitate, is crucial for maintaining good vision and preventing night blindness. According to research published in the "Journal of Ophthalmology," vitamin A can help reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration.

Protection against Oxidative Stress

The antioxidants in this supplement, including vitamins C and E, help protect the eyes against oxidative stress. Oxidative stress can lead to cell damage and is one of the primary causes of eye diseases such as cataracts and macular degeneration. A study published in the "American Journal of Clinical Nutrition" shows that high levels of antioxidants can reduce the risk of these diseases.

Support for Eye Blood Circulation

Extract from ginkgo biloba leaves in this supplement helps improve blood circulation in the eyes. Ginkgo biloba is known for its blood circulation-enhancing properties and can help improve oxygen delivery to eye tissues. According to a study published in the "Journal of Medicinal Food," ginkgo biloba extract can improve visual acuity in people with glaucoma.

Enhanced Night Vision

The bilberry extract in this supplement contains anthocyanins, which are known to improve night vision. Anthocyanins help regenerate rhodopsin, a pigment in the retina essential for seeing in dim light. A study published in the "Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry" shows that bilberry extract can improve night vision and reduce eye fatigue.

Overall Eye Health

This product also contains zinc and selenium, which are important for maintaining good eye health. Zinc helps transport vitamin A from the liver to the retina to produce melanin, a protective pigment in the eyes. Selenium acts as an antioxidant and protects the eyes from damage caused by free radicals. According to research published in the "Archives of Ophthalmology," zinc and selenium can help reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration.

Research on Eye Health Supplements

Several studies have shown that a combination of vitamins and antioxidants can improve eye health and reduce the risk of eye diseases. An extensive study published in the "Archives of Ophthalmology" found that people who took a daily supplement of vitamin C, vitamin E, beta-carotene, and zinc had a 25% lower risk of developing advanced macular degeneration. Additionally, research has shown that antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which are also present in this supplement, can improve visual acuity and protect the eyes from harmful blue light.
