DescriptionN-Acetyl -L-Cysteine combines with Vitamin C, B2 and Selenium to enhance natural body production and recycling of Glutathione, essential for eye health, including Glutathione's inhibiting properties for cataract and macular degeneration development. Vitamin E and Vitamin C act together to reduce intra-ocular pressure, a negative factor in glaucoma. Dietary zeaxanthin (zee-uh-zan'-thin) plays an essential role in protecting the retina of the eye from the damaging effects of light.
From the many carotenoids in the diet, the human retina selectively accumulates only two: zeaxanthin and lutein. Their concentration is so high in the macula, (the retinal region responsible for fine visual activities) that the carotenoids are visible as a dark yellow spot called the macular pigment. Macular pigment has been implicated as a risk factor in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the most prevalent cause of vision loss in the elderly. Because these lutein and zeaxanthin absorb blue light, and because they are powerful antioxidants, scientists have hypothesized that they protect the retina.
Vision loss in AMD is due to the irreversible death of photoreceptors and/or the invasion of leaky, unwanted blood vessels into the retina. At advanced stages of this progressive disease, everyday activities such as reading, driving, or even seeing the face of a loved one become impossible.
