Omegared

OMEGARED is a unique nutritional supplement containing essential nutrients required for maintaining ocular health. Each ingredient of OMEGARED provides protection against different factors that may damage the eye.

OMEGARED

Nutrition plays a major role from infancy to old age as a determinant of visual function and eye health. Each part of the human eye needs nutritional support for its normal functioning.
Environmental pollutants, cigarette smoke, prolonged exposure to the ultraviolet rays etc. can damage different structures of the eye and can contribute to the development of ocular diseases such as dry eye, cataract, age related macular degeneration (AMD) etc.
Studies have demonstrated that lutein, zeaxanthin, antioxidant vitamins such as vitamin C & E and minerals provide protection to the eye against various factors responsible for oxidative damage and help in preventing the development of different ocular disorders.
OMEGARED is a unique nutritional supplement containing essential nutrients required for maintaining ocular health. Each ingredient of OMEGARED provides protection against different factors that may damage the eye.
The role of each ingredient present in OMEGARED is summarized below:
Lutein and Zeaxanthin
Lutein and zeaxanthin belong to the xanthophyll family of carotenoids and are the two major components of the macular pigment of the retina. Their intake is associated with increased macular pigment density. The macula lutea or yellow spot in the retina is responsible for central vision and visual acuity. Lutein and zeaxanthin are the only carotenoids found in both the macula and lens of the human eye. They have dual functions in both tissues - to act as powerful antioxidants to play a unique role in the protection of ocular tissues against oxidative stress and to filter high-energy blue light and thus prevent ensuing damages to the eye These xanthophyll carotenoids may play a critical function for maintenance of normal visual function Clinical studies have established beneficial effects of these carotenoids in AMD & cataract.
Vitamin C & Vitamin E
Vitamins C & Vitamin E are strong antioxidants i.e. they protect the eye against free radical damage. Strengthening of the eye defenses by increasing the intake of these vitamins would be helpful in preventing the chronic aging eye diseases.
Numerous studies suggest that supplements of vitamin E, vitamin C or both may contribute, in many situations, to lowering the risk of specific chronic diseases such as Alzheimer disease, age related macular degeneration, some types of cancer, cataracts, and ischemic heart disease (IHD).
Zinc
Zinc is an essential cofactor for many of the antioxidant enzymes in the body. There is a substantial concentration of zinc in the eye, particularly in the retina, retinal pigment epithelium and choroid of most species of animals. Recent research has revealed that zinc may affect several degenerative neurologic diseases and these mechanisms may have implications for human eye diseases.
Copper
Copper is added to the formulation containing zinc to prevent copper deficiency anemia.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
The brain and eye are highly enriched with omega-3 fatty acids, which accumulate in these tissues during late fetal and early neonatal life. High concentrations of these polyunsaturated fatty acids are found in the outer segment membranes of phot receptors, and have both a structural and functional role.
A number of studies in pre-term and term human infants have suggested that a dietary supply of omega-3 fatty acids is essential for optimal visual development.
In addition to its role in the development of vision and retinal functioning, it has been suggested that omega-3 fatty acids may also be beneficial in ageing eye diseases.
Increased intake of Omega-3 tatty acids along with other antioxidants is found to be associated with reduced risk of AMD. Supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids also benefits dry eye patients.
OMEGARED provides essential nutrients required for maintaining ocular health. Regular intake of OMEGARED helps in prevention and treatment of ocular conditions such as age related macular degeneration, dry eye, cataract etc.
