Olimp LUTEIN BIO-COMPLEX®
Description
HIGHEST DOSE OF LUTEIN available on the market (as much as 20 mg in a capsule!)
Luteina bio-complex® is a complex dietary supplement improving the functioning of the eyes, protecting them against hazardous radiation and other harmful environmental factors. The supplement contains the most important ingredients responsible for keeping the eyes in good condition and health: lutein, taurine, citrus bioflavonoids, vitamin C, selenium and zinc.
Why does eyesight deteriorate with age?
Deterioration of vision arises mostly as a result of ageing of the body. The speed of this process, however, depends on many factors. Radiation emission from computer screens and TV sets, environmental toxins, inappropriate diet and various diseases generate huge amounts of free radicals which destroy structural elements of the eyes and contribute to serious vision problems. To diminish the influence of these factors unfavourable for the eye condition suitable protection of eyes by providing necessary nutritious substances is necessary.
How does lutein influence improvement of vision?
It is currently believed that luthein is one of the most important agents protecting the eyes. This nutrient belongs to the group of cartenoids and acts as a special filter absorbing dangerous radiation and eliminating free radicals responsible for eye damage. As human body is not able to produce lutein by itself, their proper amounts must be supplied with food or in the form of a dietary supplement.
Luteina bio-complex® also contains other ingredients strengthening eyesight
This uniquely developed dietary supplement contains, apart from very valuable lutein, various additional nutritious substances improving vision and protecting the eyes against harmful environmental factors. Selenium, zinc and taurine are particularly worth mentioning. Selenium is a very significant mineral element, a strong antioxidant which, if supplied in sufficient amounts with food, is essential for eye proper functioning. If combined with Vitamin C and flavonoids, it can stimulate the retina to fight free radicals which can be produced both as a result of environmental factors (bad diet, stimulants) and mental stress.
What role do taurine and zinc play in the process of vision?
Taurine, similarly to selenium, can destroy free radicals affecting disadvantageously the retina. Human body is able to produce this amino acid by itself, however, its amount can be insufficient once the organism is exposed to unfavourable environmental factors, bad diet or stress. Zinc also has protective function by boosting the activity of enzymes responsible for destroying free radicals within the eyes. Moreover, this component is necessary to synthesize Vitamin A into retinol in the visual process.
Who should use Luteina bio-complex®?
This complex dietary supplement is particularly meant for people whose eyes are exposed to harmful radiation generated for example by computer screens and TV sets. It is also recommended for a preventive purpose as an agent slowing down age-related vision deterioration.
