• Vitamin E: 30 mg
• Lutein Ph.grade: 6 mg
• Copper (as Cupric oxide) Ph.grade: 2 mg
• Zinc (as Zinc oxide) BP: 15 mg

Pharmacology

Vitamin C is notably concentrated in the lens compared to blood. Long-term usage (over 10 years) of Vitamin C supplements has shown an association with reduced cataract risk. Its role in scavenging harmful free radicals is crucial.

High serum Vitamin E concentrations have been linked with decreased cataract risk, although the exact mechanism remains under study. As an antioxidant, Vitamin E plays a pivotal role in scavenging harmful free radicals.

Lutein, a carotenoid, is particularly concentrated in the macula. Both clinical and animal data suggest that this carotenoid may shield the macula from oxidative or light-induced damage.

While the exact mechanism is not fully understood, a significant study found that high dietary Lutein levels are linked with a relatively lower risk of AMD (Age-Related Macular Degeneration). Zinc, an essential trace element, is involved in numerous enzyme systems.
