The Bausch & Lomb Ocuvite Lutein Forte is a dietary supplement in tablet form, with a composition of lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamins C and E and zinc. The package contains 30 tablets.
It is aimed at adults who want to cover their intake of these nutrients through a dietary supplement, as a supplement to a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids that are naturally found in the retina of the eye, particularly in the macula. The human body cannot synthesize them on its own, so they are obtained through the diet, mainly from leafy green vegetables and some fruits.
These two carotenoids are the subject of ongoing scientific research regarding their role in eye health. They currently do not have an approved health claim by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), so they are presented here as components of the composition, without a claim of a specific effect on vision.
The zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal vision, as well as to the normal function of the immune system. The vitamins C and E contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. These are the components of the composition with an approved health claim in the European Union.
It suits adults who want to cover their intake of lutein, zeaxanthin, zinc and antioxidant vitamins, as part of a balanced diet. It is not intended for the prevention or treatment of eye diseases and does not replace medical monitoring or treatment. Anyone experiencing vision problems should consult an ophthalmologist.
Main ingredients per daily dose (1 tablet): lutein, zeaxanthin, vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc. The exact amounts per ingredient and the full list of excipients are not recorded on the current product page, we refer to the packaging for the complete label.
There are various formulations on the market with a different combination of carotenoids, vitamins and trace elements.
