Pharmacology

Vitamin C is present in high concentrations in the eye’s lens, significantly more than in the bloodstream. Long-term supplementation (over 10 years) has been associated with a reduced risk of cataracts. It also plays a crucial role in neutralizing harmful free radicals and protecting eye tissues from oxidative damage.

Studies suggest that higher levels of Vitamin E in the blood may lower the risk of cataracts, though its exact mechanism of action is still being researched. As a potent antioxidant, Vitamin E helps protect against oxidative stress, which contributes to age-related eye diseases.

Lutein, a carotenoid concentrated in the macula, has been shown in clinical and animal studies to help safeguard the retina from oxidative and light-induced damage. A significant study has found that higher dietary intake of Lutein is associated with a reduced risk of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD).

Zinc is an essential trace element involved in numerous enzymatic processes. A mild deficiency can impair taste and smell perception and slow wound healing, while severe deficiencies may lead to skin lesions, hair loss, diarrhea, increased infection susceptibility, and growth failure in children.

Copper is vital for growth, bone health, and nervous system development. As a key component of various enzymes, it contributes to essential metabolic functions.
