In the composition, we have lutein (which is a carotenoid related to vitamin A). It has antioxidant property and had been attributed to protecting and enhancing eye function (ref. 1). Other beneficial roles include anti-inflammatory (ref. 2). Fortunately, it is readily available in our common diet such as egg yolks, corn, zucchini, squash, carrot, tomatoes, grapes, and other fruits. The supplement (in tablet form) contains all the required vitamins and minerals at higher than recommended dose. The reason for this is mainly to factor in the loss during our body's absorption (which is not 100% efficient). Another carotenoid is lycopene that is good for eye, skin, and protect you from UV-induced damages (ref. 3).
