ACTUAL SIZE

There are hundreds of carotenoids present in nature, but just a handful are present in the human body. Of those, nature has chosen only Lutein and Zeaxanthin to be present in the macula of the eye. These help protect against the effects of UV rays and free radicals that may damage the macula.

LUTEIN & ZEAXANTHIN are naturally present in the body at a ratio of 5:1.

Our bodies cannot produce these carotenoids, they must come from our diets.

NOTICE: Herbs have a distinct natural odor and may vary in color.

Formula

delivers a 5:1 ratio of lutein to zeaxathin, matching the body's natural balance
