Supplements of lutein and a range of antioxidants did not benefit
the health of normal eyes, possibly highlighting the importance of
doses, suggests new research from England.
Long-term supplementation with a synthetic zeaxanthin product
significantly increased plasma levels of the carotenoid, thought to
protect against degeneration of eye health, report researchers from
DSM Nutritional Products.
The American Optometric Association (AOA) has added a new
functionality to its website which is designed to allow visitors to
asses whether their diet is putting them at risk of eye problems
such as cataracts.
Consumers in the UK are increasingly concerned about eye health,
and are turning to dietary supplements to help fight the problem,
claims a new study commissioned by Kemin Foods.
