Protect Your Internal Sunglasses with Supreme Health Advanced Vision Care

In today’s modern world, our eyes are exposed to intense, damaging light everyday – whether that’s sunlight, fluorescent light, or blue light from our devices. Thankfully, there are also plenty of ways we can protect our eyes, and while most people know to wear sunglasses to avoid the sun’s UV rays, we also have our very own “internal sunglasses” that filter and block harmful intense lights from damaging our sensitive photoreceptors.

Our macular pigments, i.e. our “internal sunglasses”, absorb blue light and filter damaging short-wavelength light. They are made up of lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin, all collectively known as the macular pigment. These absorb and filter intense lights before it reaches our photoreceptors, delivering the perfect amount of light for normal vision and sight. However, photoreceptors do not regenerate, so it’s important that these are protected from damage, loss, or death.

Lutein and zeaxanthin are natural carotenoid pigments that we can’t synthesise in our bodies. However, the good news is that they’re commonly found in leafy greens (e.g. kale, spinach and broccoli), corn, and egg yolk.

Antioxidant activity also plays a huge part in ensuring the macular pigments don’t degenerate. So, in addition to lutein and zeaxanthin, there’s a third hero carotenoid shown to be vital for eye health – natural astaxanthin.

Astaxanthin is a powerful antioxidant that protects our internal sunglasses from oxidative damage. Not only that, it also helps with managing inflammation, improved retinal blood flow, and optic nerve damage protection.

Supreme Health’s comprehensive Advanced Vision Care formula that synergises the benefits of lutein, zeaxanthin, and natural New Zealand astaxanthin to boost all aspects of eye health.
