       Nutrients that nourish the eyes.
             According to various research reports, it was found that the intake of nutrients that are high in antioxidants, such as consumption of colorful fruits and vegetables contributes to the maintenance of eyesight and prevent visual impairment. There are 3 important nutrients that help maintain the health of the eyes and reduce free radicals that damage the lens of the eye:

          Lutein is a natural nutrient that belongs to the group of carotenoids. Within the eyes, it is mostly found in the macular region (image-receiving area) of the retina. It acts by protecting against radiation from sunlight, filters eye-damaging blue light and helps protect retinal cells by reducing free radicals that damage the eyes. The body needs to get lutein from food, especially from dark green vegetables such as kale, amaranth, lettuce, spinach, etc. And it was found that taking 6 milligrams of lutein per day can reduce the risk of macular degeneration by 50 percent.
     

        Bilberry extract is a nutrient group of bioflavonoids with high antioxidant activity which helps protect the lens of the eye, strengthens the collagen (the structure of the cornea) and the capillaries in the eyes. It makes the capillaries less fragile and prevents clouding of the eye cells that cause cataract. Bilberry extract can also improve vision in dim light or darkness.   

       Beta-carotene is a natural nutrient mostly found in carrots and pumpkin. The body converts beta-carotene into vitamin A, which helps to improve vision in the darkness and prevents night blindness. It is also an antioxidant that helps nourish the eyes and prevent many types of eye diseases such as cataracts. Beta-carotene also helps to moisturize the mucous membranes in the eyes.
