Key Highlights

  • Powerful blend of carotenoids; lutein, zeaxanthin, astaxanthin and beta-carotene
  • Bioactive plant sourced ingredients
  • Protects against blue light

Have you ever noticed how your eyes feel after a day at your computer screen, or a scrolling session on your glowing phone? Unfortunately, with so much time spent on our screens, we’re straining our eyes with the high energy blue light emitted by our devices. The human eye isn’t used to handling so much artificial light, and it’s starting to show. Today, it’s estimated that over 80% of people suffer from digital eye strain.

Throughout the day our eyes essentially store up the energy they absorb from screens and then release this energy at night (through a compound in retinal called A2E). Unfortunately, this results in oxidative damage to the delicate tissue in our eyes. Day after day, the effects of this process compound, damaging our eyesight over time.

Our eyes require macular carotenoids to protect themselves from this artificial light. Research shows that carotenoids lutein, zeaxanthin and astaxanthin are found at the back of the eye where they form the macular pigment. There is also a concentration of Meso-zeaxanthin at the centre of this pigment.

Together’s Eye Defence contains these three powerful carotenoids along with beta-carotene which is converted to vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A contributes to the maintenance of normal vision.

The nutrients in Together's Eye Defence are clinically shown to provide a range of eye health benefits including:

- Improved visual function
- Reduced glare sensitivity
- Eye strain and fatigue reduction

Not only does this product contain the highest concentration of carotenoids it is also unique because it is fully purified with no heavy metals, processing aids, pesticides, or other environmental contaminants.
