Indications

Tioxil is specially designed to support eye health, particularly for individuals with age-related eye conditions.

Composition

Each Tioxil capsule contains:

• Vitamin C: 60 mg
• Vitamin E: 30 mg
• Lutein (Pharmaceutical Grade): 6 mg
• Copper (as Cupric Oxide, Ph. Grade): 2 mg
• Zinc (as Zinc Oxide, BP): 15 mg

Pharmacology

Vitamin C is highly concentrated in the lens of the eye, where it plays a critical role in protecting against free radical damage. Long-term use of Vitamin C supplements has been linked to a reduced risk of cataracts. Its antioxidant properties help neutralize harmful free radicals that can damage the eye.

Vitamin E is another powerful antioxidant that has been shown in studies to be associated with a reduced risk of cataracts, though the exact mechanism is still not fully understood. It also helps protect the eyes by scavenging harmful free radicals.

Lutein, a carotenoid found in the macula, is crucial for eye protection. Studies suggest that high dietary intake of lutein may lower the risk of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). It helps shield the macula from oxidative damage and harmful light exposure.

Zinc plays a vital role in the functioning of several enzymes in the body. Zinc deficiency can cause a range of symptoms, from taste and smell disturbances to poor wound healing. Severe deficiencies can lead to more serious conditions such as skin lesions and increased susceptibility to infections.

Copper is essential for growth, bone health, and the development of the nervous system. It works as part of many enzymes involved in various metabolic processes.
