Pharmacodynamics

Zeaxanthin with lutein are carotenoids and are located inside the macula of the eye retina. The effect of these elements develops due to the strong antioxidant activity and the ability to filter some parts of the light spectrum. After the use of drugs, their level inside the eye tissues increases, thereby stabilizing the work of the visual apparatus and the function of night vision. The substance also prevents the development of age-related processes of visual impairment and loss of vision.

A very important element in the formation of rhodopsin (a pigment that helps the eyes adapt to poor and poor lighting) is β-carotene.

Ascorbic acid inside the drug interacts with tocopherol (antioxidant), which prevents tissue damage under the influence of free radicals. This component is necessary to support visual activity.

Zinc with copper are catalysts for the activity of metalloenzymes, and in addition they prevent the formation of free radicals.
