Have a Brighter Day!
The prolonged use of smartphones, computers and other digital gadgets had raised awareness about the importance of caring for our eyes. Let’s explore how carotenoids and B-complex vitamins can help maintain optimal vision.
Carotenoids
Naturally occuring bright colour pigments found in fruits and vegetables with immense antioxidant benefits.
Lutein
Filters blue light that causes eye strain, blurry and dry eyes.
Lycopene
Protect eyes from oxidative stress.
Alpha and Beta Carotene
Enhance low light vision and relieve dry eyes.
B Complex Vitamins
Vitamins B1 (thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin) and B5 (pantothenic acid) and B6 (pyridoxine) act as antioxidants to protect eyes from damage caused by free radicals which may cause cataracts and macular degeneration.
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin)
Maintains health of the cornea (the clear outer layer of the eye) and shields eyes from blue light.
Vitamin B3 (Niacin)
Promotes blood flow to deliver nutrients and oxygen to the eyes for optimal functions.
Vitamin B6 (Pryridoxine)
Supports production of neurotransmitters to transmit visual information from the eyes to the brain.
Vitamin B9 (Folate)
Promotes cell growth and repair so your vision stays bright and clear.
Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin)
Essential to maintain health of nerve cells including those that transmit signals from the eyes to the brain.
