Lutein is one of three main carotenoids in the human macula. It plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy vision. Your macula has particularly high concentrations of lutein, which is why lutein supplements (and getting sufficient lutein in your diet) are important. You must get lutein from dietary sources; your body cannot produce lutein on its own. In this study, researchers found lutein played a crucial role in preventing age-related macular degeneration and other eye diseases, particularly eye diseases and vision loss linked to aging.

VisiSoothe also contains an antioxidant called coenzyme Q10, or CoQ10. The natural antioxidant works like lutein and zeaxanthin: it supports healthy inflammation within your eye and throughout your body, which could help you maintain healthy eyesight as you age. High levels of inflammation are associated with higher levels of disease and illness; by taking CoQ10 daily, you could support normal levels of inflammation to maintain good eyesight.

Many eye health supplements contain astaxanthin, which has similar antioxidant effects to zeaxanthin and other polyphenols within VisiSoothe. Naturally found in certain types of fish, astaxanthin is a valuable carotenoid found in particularly high concentrations within the eye, which is why it’s connected to eyesight and healthy vision. One study found astaxanthin protected against retinal damage. You may damage your retinas due to exposure to sunlight or toxins; astaxanthin can support your body’s natural defense against this inflammation and damage. Another study found that, like L-carnitine, astaxanthin could even influence stem cell proliferation within the eyes, providing further support for eyesight.

 Vitamin A is one of nature’s best-known vitamins for supporting eyesight and vision. Like vitamin C, vitamin A has antioxidant effects throughout the body. Unlike other vitamins, however, vitamin A seems to play a particularly important role in the eye. Vitamin A is linked to good vision, and many experts recommend taking vitamin A supplements to support vision as you age.

VisiSoothe contains dozens of other ingredients designed to support eyesight in various ways. Some of the ingredients are rich with natural antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, while others support vision in unique ways.
