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.

All our ingredients are made to the highest possible standards with simple chemical free processes
Lutein and Zeaxanthin |
Harvested
Marigold flowers are harvested in their natural region in Mexico in a pesticide free and sustainably managed area. |
Extracted
Lutein and Zeaxanthin are extracted from the dried flowers. |
Purified & Filtered
The extracts are purified and filtered using only water and alcohol. |
Dried
A gentle drying process prepares the concentrated extract for powdering. |
Milled
Finally, the extract is mechanically milled into a powder and sifted. |
Astaxanthin |
Harvested
Algae which contains high concentrations of Astaxanthin is harvested in Mexico in a pesticide free environment |
Extracted
The Astaxanthin oil is extracted from the algae with CO2 which is a pure process requiring no solvents. |
Filtered
The extracted Astaxanthin oil is filtered and passed through magnets to remove any heavy metals from the algae's natural environment. |
Tested
The oil is tested for any heavy metal residue and sent back for further removal if the oil fails this step. |
Micro-Encapsulated
The oil is then micro-encapsulated using only pea protein. |
Whole food
|
Harvested
Whole carrots are concentrated into a food paste. |
Prepared
Beta carotene is added plus a natural enzyme to break down the cell wall of the food. |
Grown
During a unique growing process the Beta Carotene passes into the cells of the food. |
Grown cont.
After 72 hours of growing, the added beta Carotene is fully bonded and part of the food. |
Dried
