Good nutrition is very important to healthy eyes. Just like the rest of your body, your eyes require the right amount of nutrients to work their best, especially as you get older.

More and more research points to the importance of proper nutrition in the treatment and prevention of age-related eye diseases (AREDS). Several research studies have focused on the role of carotenoids in eye nutrition. Carotenoids are an essential nutrient group derived from fruits and vegetables, especially dark green leafy vegetables. Carotenoids include vitamins A, C and E, which help promote and maintain healthy vision. Results from the age-related eye disease study show that zinc, copper and other antioxidants are also essential in maintaining healthy vision.

Our bodies don't manufacture these nutrients on their own, so we must get them through our diet. Vitamin supplements are another way to provide our bodies with these nutrients.

ICaps^® MV, Eye Vitamin and Mineral Supplement, provides high doses of lutein and zeaxanthin, two specific carotenoids needed to protect the retina, along with nutrients necessary for a healthy body. ICaps^® MV is free of vitamin A for those who must avoid beta carotene. Specific lifestyle considerations should be taken into account when choosing the proper formulation.

ICaps^® vitamins are lactose free. This helps eliminate gastric upset in people with lactose intolerance, which is generally associated with dairy products.

ICaps^® vitamins' delayed release tablets may result in less stomach upset. You'll find taking them easy and convenient.
