It is a food supplement that helps maintain eye health. SIFI Ocuplus provides the body with vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, copper, lutein, zeaxanthin and astaxanthin. It supports the proper functioning of the eye.
Vitamin C is found in virtually every cell in the body. However, its concentration is highest in the retina. It helps maintain optimal performance by protecting the eyes from damage caused by free radicals. As the human body does not produce vitamin C, it needs it in the diet.
Vitamin E is an important ocular antioxidant that also helps neutralise free radicals. Without preventive action, free radicals can eventually deteriorate healthy tissue and damage eye health. Deficiencies of this vitamin are very common, because some of the main sources are not found in foods that people consume in abundance. Zinc enables the maintenance of normal night vision.
Lutein and zeaxanthin are concentrated in the retina. These two powerful carotenoids act as antioxidants. They are a built-in sunscreen for the eyes. Their nutrients can help filter out blue light. They also help improve the clarity with which the eyes see.
The omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA support the outer fatty layer of the eye. For the most part, DHA is located in high concentrations in the retina. It is of great importance for the visual development of newborns.
Copper is a trace element that supports the function of connective tissue. Zinc supplementation should always be combined with copper intake.
