Clinical Benefits

• The combination of blackcurrant, lutein and zeaxanthin has been clinically shown to aid the recovery of eye strain and visual fatigue after strenuous computer tasks.¹ The mechanism by which blackcurrant may assist in relief of eye strain, is through its antioxidant actions; promoting dark adaptation and regeneration of the rod visual pigment rhodopsin.³
• Macular pigment density: An observational study has found supplementing with lutein significantly increases macular pigment density in the elderly. Low levels of lutein have been inversely associated with eye health, presumably through a reduced capacity to quench free radicals in the macula.²
