The following supplements, including the antioxidants found in AREDS2 capsules may benefit some people’s eye health:
1. Lutein and zeaxanthin
Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids. Supplementing these nutrients may have eye-protective effects. They absorb high-energy blue and ultraviolet light (oxidative stress) that may damage your eyes.สมัคร UFABET
2. Zinc
Zinc is the primary mineral in the AREDS2 formulation. Also found naturally in your eyes, it’s a powerful antioxidant that protects against cell damage.
When taking zinc, copper absorption is lessened. It’s recommended to combine zinc with copper supplements.
3. Vitamin B1 (thiamine)
Vitamin B1 is essential for eye health. Known as one of the “anti-stress” B vitamins, vitamin B1 may reduce inflammation.
Other research indicates it may relieve some dry eye symptoms.
4. Omega-3 fatty acids
Photoreceptor cells in your retina contain a large quantity of omega-3 fatty acids. It’s believed that docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a type of omega-3 fatty acid, helps develop retinal cells.
It’s also thought to reduce inflammation and help retina and cornea cells heal and regenerate after damage from light exposure and aging.
Some research indicates that omega-3-rich diets may help with dry eye symptoms and prevent AMD. But the AREDS 2 study did not find omega-3s helpful.
5. Vitamin C
Studies show that vitamin C may offer protection against cataracts. It’s a powerful antioxidant that boosts the health of blood vessels in your eyes. Which are important for proper blood flow and peak eye performance.
Vitamin C also supports healthy tear production.
