It may also make up for nutrients you may not be getting enough of through your daily diet, especially lutein and zeaxanthin. Low levels of these nutrients can be associated with poor eye health. Vitamins with lutein are essential to eye health, as Lutein and zeaxanthin cannot be produced naturally by the body. They can be found in dark, leafy greens such as kale, spinach and broccoli, and in sweetcorn and egg yolk. However it may be difficult, and costly for those on a budget, to consume the large amounts of these foods needed to provide the recommended daily amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin. This is where ICaps may help, packed full of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and extra lutein, ICaps offers the right nutrients in a convenient once-daily tablet.Many supplements contain 100% RDA (Recommended Daily Amount) of vitamins and minerals. While this may be sufficient to avoid overall deficiency, these are minimum amounts and studies have suggested that these levels are too low to have much of a positive effect on eye health2. Some of the nutrients in ICaps are therefore deliberately set above the RDA to provide maximum benefit.ICaps is the first choice ocular supplement of UK ophthalmologists, especially aimed at people aged 40 years and over. It is also frequently recommended by opticians, pharmacists and nutritionists.What are Lutein and Zeaxanthin?Lutein and Zeaxanthin are considered essential micronutrients for eye health. They occur in healthy eyes as a part of the macular pigment. Eye experts often use the density of the macula as a measure of how healthy our eyes are.Unfortunately, years of exposure to damaging light and oxidative stress can mean that the macula degenerates as we get older. The effect of this is decreased macula density and age-related vision loss.ICaps provides a rich source of lutein and zeaxanthin which contributes to the maintenance of eye health.How do I incorporate Lutein and Zeaxanthin in my diet?Although the body cannot naturally produce lutein, zeaxanthin can be made from lutein. Lutein belongs to a group of compounds called carotenoids. These pigments give yellow, green or orange colouration to vegetables and fruits and are precursors for Vitamin A, which helps vision in dim light.Doctors recommend that, to naturally add these two compounds to your diet, you should eat broccoli, kale, spinach, sweet potatoes, squash, red grapes, green and orange peppers, kiwi, mango, peaches, collard greens, papaya, lima beans and apricots.Lutein is naturally found in egg yolk and several plants especially dark-green leafy vegetables.
