Ocu Support Clinical Strength 90c by Protocol

Ocu Support Clinical Strength 90c by Protocol provide comprehensive nutritional protection for the eyes. Ocu Support™ contains 10 mg of available Lutein, a critical pigment of the macula, lens, and other ocular tissues. Lutein is a powerful antioxidant related to betacarotene that defends the eye from the harmful effects of sunlight. Ocu Support™ has also included Green Tea Extract, Alpha-Lipoic Acid, Grape Seed Extract, and other synergists in this formula to maximize its antioxidant potential. Other ingredients like beta-Carotene, B vitamins, Zinc, and Taurine are known to support overall eye health and function. With eye health becoming a primary concern of aging, a great deal of recent research has focused on maintaining healthy eyes. It is well established that the Vitamin A family of nutrients (retinoids and carotenoids) is critical to ocular nutrition. One specific carotenoid, Lutein (and its precursor, Zeaxanthin), has been identified as playing a central role in macular health. Lutein is an antioxidant that appears to quench or reduce harmful free radicals. Lutein also filters the high-energy, blue wavelengths of light from the visible-light spectrum by as much as 90%. It is important to carefully balance lutein with beta-carotene in a clinical eye formula, avoiding too much carotene, as they compete for absorption. Ocu Support™ is nutritionally balanced, having been formulated to provide comprehensive protection for the eyes. Studies suggest that 6-10 mg of Lutein per day is necessary to realize health benefits. One serving of Ocu Support™ supplies the full 10 mg of Lutein. Ocu Support™ has also included useful antioxidants like Green Tea Extract, Alpha-Lipoic Acid, Bilberry, and Grape Seed Extract. Ocu Support™ contains FloraGLO® Lutein and Zeaxanthin from Marigold Flower Extracts. Numerous peer-reviewed studies link the natural antioxidant lutein with important eye-health benefits. Newer science suggests lutein promotes healthy skin. FloraGLO® Lutein is the world’s leading patented, purified lutein source.
