UpNourish AREDS 2 PLUS is formulated with 8 key nutrients that may benefit the eyes and nourish them against blue light from prolonged time in the sun or in front of digital screens.
Lutein & Zeaxanthin are natural carotenoids that give fruits and vegetables their vibrant colors and are abundant in leafy greens. They are also a key component of the macula in the eye. There, they form a pigment layer that absorbs high-energy blue light from digital screens, LED lights, and sunlight. With the increase of digital screen use, daily supplementation of Lutein & Zeaxanthin is essential for eye and vision health.
Astaxanthin is another natural carotenoid in red color and is highly concentrated in algae. Sea foods such as salmon, lobster, red trout and even flamingos turn to red-orange color in various degree when they are fed on algae. Scientists believe Astaxanthin gives salmon the endurance to swim miles and jumps over several-foot rapids.Astaxanthin is also located in the front of the eye, supporting the ciliary body's work. This system controls the eye's ability to focus at different distances. Studies indicate astaxanthin helps with eye discomfort associated with prolonged use and contributes to healthier tears.
DHA is an essential Omega-3 fatty acid that the body cannot produce and must get from food. It constitutes 90% of the fatty acids in the brain and eyes, vital for their structure and operation. While crucial for infant development, a continuous dietary supply of DHA is necessary to maintain its levels for brain and eye support throughout life. Studies also show that daily DHA supplementation contributes to greater eye comfort and lubrication.
