Eye vitamins

Sight is one of the most essential senses. Our eyes also require a little attention and care. Vitamins essential for eye health include vitamin A, B vitamins, vitamin C, and vitamin E.

Vitamin A / beta-carotene, found among other things in carrots, is crucial for vision. In the absence of vitamin A, the body cannot produce enough rhodopsin pigment, which could lead to night blindness. B vitamins protect against diseases and reduce the risk of macular degeneration ('yellow spot,' macula lutea). Vitamin C, due to its antioxidant action, protects against free radicals generated, for example, by UV sunlight, which can harm cells. Vitamin E strengthens the immune system and also protects against free radicals.

A healthy diet is the main foundation for the health of the body and eyes. Certain foods and dietary supplements can only contribute to the health of our eyes.
