Glutathione Antioxidant

Buried Treasure Lumi Shield plus has teamed up with Setria for the best available glutathione antioxidant.

Oxidation - like rust - is bad for your body especially your vision. Glutathione is found in high concentrations in the eye and is essential in the maintenance of its transparency for better vision. Due to its presence in the eye, glutathione functions to detoxify the aqueous fluid in the inner eye. It helps maintain adequate fluid outflow enabling the maintenance of normal eye pressure. Glutathione as an antioxidant, it is responsible for attacking free radicals in the eye.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is another crucial ingredient for eye health.

A powerful antioxidant, Vitamin C plays a crucial role in mitigating damage caused by radicals that gain access to the eye. The molecular damage caused by free radicals most often affects the lens tissue, which if not managed can progress to acquired blindness. According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, the eye requires about 250mg of vitamin C daily, for effective protection against free-radical damage. The vitamin’s antioxidant effect also contributes to anti-aging and hence premature degeneration of macular cells that may affect vision.

Bilberry Extract

On the other hand, better eye circulation supports better eye health. The presence of vitamin C also provides an immune-boosting effect that helps maintain eye health. Bilberries also function to increase the levels of pigments such as rhodopsin in the retina that are essential for vision.
