"WITH THE PLUS OF LUTEIN + COPPER"

VITALUXPLUS is a special dietary supplement that, in addition to vitamins B,₃, C and E as well as the trace elements zinc and copper, especially the important carotenoid lutein. On the one hand, lutein protects against free radicals by absorbing harmful short-wave light, but it can also render the free radicals produced by UV light harmless. The high concentration of lutein in the eye decreases with age. Therefore, lutein should be supplemented with food.

WHAT EYE DISEASES CAN BE CAUSED BY FREE RADICALS?

After a certain age, more and more women and men are affected by age-related eye diseases such as cataracts (cataract clouding of the lens of the eye), macular diseases (degenerative changes in the retina) or dry eyes, which is due to the damaging effect of free radicals.

WHAT ARE FREE RADICALS?

Free radicals are chemically unstable, energy-rich molecules that are produced in the body by metabolic processes and environmental influences. Free radicals accelerate cell aging and generally lead to cell damage if they are not neutralized. Normally, the free radicals do not pose a problem for the body. Health problems only occur when there is an overconcentration of free radicals in the body and thus a disproportion between the "radical scavengers" present in the body and the aggressive oxygen compounds, which can attack and damage healthy cells. Free radicals are formed when light and oxygen meet, both of which are abundant in the eye. Since the retina is highly exposed to light and oxygen, there are ideal conditions for the formation of free radicals.

WHAT FACTORS LEAD TO EXCESSIVE RELEASE OF FREE RADICALS?

• Stress
• Smoke
• Alcohol consumption
• Heavy physical exertion
• Intense sunlight
• Environmental pollution
• Unbalanced diet
• Long-term drug treatment

WHY ARE VITAMINS AND CAROTENOIDS SO IMPORTANT?

With age, the ability of our cells to fight against the damaging effects from outside decreases, which is why the body needs special nutrients, the so-called antioxidants, which can neutralize free radicals. Timely and targeted supplementation of special nutrients and a conscious diet (lots of fruits and vegetables) rich in vitamins A, C and E and especially carotenoids (especially lutein) can play an important role in the prevention of age-related macular degeneration and other eye diseases. Carotenoids interact with free radicals and neutralize them, strengthening the immune system. Therefore, not just any vitamins, but vitamin combinations specially adapted to the metabolism of retinal cells should be added to the diet.

WHAT IS LUTEIN?

Lutein belongs to the group of carotenoids and is therefore also a radical scavenger. The lutein concentration in the eye is particularly high and contributes decisively to strengthening the protective system in the eye. Carotenoids interact with free radicals and neutralize them. Lutein is a key substance for the protection of complex photoreceptors. With age, the concentration in the eye decreases, which reduces the natural protection. The human body cannot produce carotenoids itself, and these must therefore be ingested through food (fruits and vegetables) or dietary supplements.

WHAT ARE CAROTENOIDS AND HOW DO THEY AFFECT THE EYE?

Carotenoids protect the yellow spot (macula) from free radicals in two ways: they can absorb harmful short-wave light before it reaches the photoreceptors, which would prevent the formation of free radicals. Furthermore, as antioxidants, they can render harmless the free radicals once produced by UV rays.

The composition of VITALUX PLUS is specially designed to support the natural protective mechanisms of your eyes. With "the plus of lutein and copper", VITALUX PLUS offers the possibility of additionally supplying lutein, which is mainly present in high quantities in the eye (radical scavengers) and whose concentration decreases with increasing age. In addition to a balanced diet, the preventive administration of certain vitamins and carotenoids is recommended, which can take over a repair function of damaged cells - ANTIOXIDANT EFFECT! - as well as consistent protection against UV radiation and all measures that help prevent free radicals from forming.^®®
