Ocutex from Plantis is a food supplement that provides natural carotenoids thanks to its formulation based on Goji extract, Lutein, Zeaxanthin, Lycopene and Vitamin B2 that combat macular degeneration and the harmful effects of oxidative stress. Carotenoids play an important role in human health by acting as biological antioxidants, protecting cells and tissues from damage caused by free radicals. The macula is responsible for central vision: the concentration of macular pigments in the retina is directly related to visual sensitivity and a decrease in them causes visual difficulties. The antioxidant capacity of lutein and zeaxanthin is what can reduce the damage caused to the eye by ultraviolet light and photochemical reactions. Lutein is a plant pigment found in fruits and vegetables. Our body cannot produce it, therefore it must be incorporated through the diet. Lutein is the main carotenoid present in the macula. Its function is to protect this area of ​​the retina from the oxidizing action of light. Lycopene, a plant pigment from the carotenoid group that is responsible for the red or orange color of some fruits and vegetables. Lycopene belongs to the beta-carotene group, but unlike it it is not transformed into vitamin A. Zeaxanthin, a natural carotenoid found in vegetables and fruits such as pumpkin, peas, oranges, kiwi, and corn. It is a powerful antioxidant that is present in the ocular macula but not in the lateral parts along with lutein, but is mostly in the central part. Its function is to protect this area of ​​the retina against the harmful effects of light. It also incorporates vitamin B2 that contributes to the maintenance of vision under normal conditions. It is recommended to take 1 capsule a day, preferably with breakfast and plenty of water. Food supplements should not be used as substitutes for a varied and balanced diet. Do not exceed the expressly recommended daily dose. Keep out of the reach of little kids. Store in a cool, dry place.
