Pharmacology

When compared to blood, the lens has a high concentration of vitamin C. Long-term use of Vitamin C supplements (10+ years) has been linked to a lower risk of cataracts. Vitamin C plays a crucial function in the scavenging of damaging free radicals.

High serum Vitamin E concentrations have been linked to a lower incidence of cataracts, according to a study (exact mechanism of action is not still established). It also plays a crucial role in the scavenging of damaging free radicals as an antioxidant vitamin.

Lutein is a carotenoid that is found in high concentration in the macula. This caretenoid may protect the macula from oxidative or light damage, according to clinical and animal research.

Although the actual mechanism of action is unknown, one big study indicated that high dietary Lutein levels are linked to a decreased incidence of AMD (Age-Related Macular Degeneration). Zinc is a trace element that is involved in several enzyme systems.

Taste, smell, and wound healing are all altered or missing in people with a less severe impairment. Skin lesions, baldness, diarrhea, increased susceptibility to infection, and failure to thrive are all symptoms of severe insufficiency in children.

Copper is necessary for growth, bone integrity, and nervous system development. It participates in multiple metabolic transformations as a component of different enzymes.
