Forms of release and composition of the drug
This drug is produced in Russia in the form of oral capsules. The product contains various macro-, microelements and vitamins.
Composition and action:
- Lutein and Zeaxanthin. These components accumulate in the center of the retina and protect the eye from light exposure, including the blue spectrum of light, which is the most aggressive in terms of its effect on the structures of the eye. The substances prevent damage and clouding of the lens. They act as antioxidants and prevent free radicals.
- Taurine. This component is an amino acid that takes an active part in metabolic processes in the tissue of the eye, as well as in regeneration processes. This substance promotes the restoration of cells and tissues of the eye, and also triggers natural energy metabolism in cells that are highly sensitive to light.
- Vitamin A. This component prevents the breakdown of a particular pigment - rhodopsin. The lack of this pigment leads to a decrease in visual function, which is responsible for the dark adaptation of the eye.
- Vitamin C. This vitamin is responsible for the regeneration of visual pigments, improves redox processes. The substance has a moderate antioxidant effect, prevents the occurrence of glaucoma, and also significantly lowers intraocular pressure.
- Vitamin E. This component helps to enhance the regeneration of damaged cells, and is also directly involved in metabolic processes occurring in the area of eye tissues. Vitamin reduces capillary fragility and permeability.
- Selenium, copper, chromium, zinc. These substances are macronutrients that are an integral part of the structures of the eye and are responsible for tissue regeneration and maintenance of metabolic reactions.
Additional composition:
- gelatinous shell;
- lactose monohydrate;
- ascorbic acid;
- magnesium stearate;
- silicon dioxide, amorphous;
All capsules are packaged in plastic blisters and packed in cardboard boxes. Each package is accompanied by an annotation insert.
Pharmacological properties
Lutein Forte for eyes is a mineral and vitamin complex that belongs to the group of biologically active food additives.
The drug is a set of micro-, microelements, vitamins, flavonoids, which are necessary for the normal functioning of the eye.
The central part of the retina contains various components (lutein, zeaxanthin) that are not produced naturally in the human body.
In most cases, these substances are found in fresh fruits and vegetables, therefore they enter the body along with food.
The concentration of these components has a direct impact on the state of the visual apparatus and its functioning. To fully provide the organs of vision with components, it is necessary to consume 0.25 kg of spinach, 500 g of sweet pepper or 1 kg of fresh carrots daily.
The biologically active complex replenishes the deficiency of essential substances and maintains the normal functioning of the visual organ.
