Phytonutrients

Phytonutrients are plant pigments - yellow, red, blue, purple - that come from your food and are essential for good health. Some of them, such as the carotenoids lutein, zeaxanthin, astaxanthin, meso zeaxanthin, and lycopene are very important for good vision health.

They also include the bioflavonoids quercetin, rutin, bilberry, catechins, and epicatechins.

The phytonutrients also include polyphenols, indoles, and isoflavonoids.

Enzymes

Enzymes enhance biochemical reactions that produce essential nutrients and functions in the body and in the functioning of the parts of the eye.
