As
a nation, being fit and healthy has never been more important to
us. We are all aware that for optimum health we should take regular
exercise and eat five portions of fruit and vegetables a day, but
how many of us worry about the state of our eyes until we start
to experience problems?

This
lack of awareness about eye health could help to explain why
many of us suffer from unnecessary visual problems as we grow
older.

ICaps®
can help maintain healthy eyes, although food supplementation should
not be used as a substitute for a healthy diet. It may also make
up for nutrients you may not be getting enough of through your daily
diet, especially Lutein and Zeaxanthin. These are important for
the maintenance of healthy eyes, but few people in the UK have even
heard of them! Lutein and Zeaxanthin cannot be produced naturally
by the body so we must include a source of these carotenoids within
our diet. They can be found in green, leafy vegetables such as spinach,
broccoli and cabbage, but it may be difficult to consume enough
of these to provide the recommended daily amounts of Lutein and
Zeaxanthin needed. This is where ICaps®
may help, packed full of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and carotenoids,
ICaps®
offers the equivalent of four portions of fruit and vegetables per
day.

Many supplements contain 100% RDA (Recommended Daily Amount) of vitamins and minerals. While this may be sufficient to avoid overall deficiency, studies have suggested that these levels are too low to have much of a positive effect on eye health. Some of the nutrients in ICaps® are therefore deliberately set above the RDA to provide maximum benefit.

ICaps®
is the most widely recommended supplement for eye health by ophthalmologists,
especially aimed at people aged 40 years and over. It is also frequently
recommended by opticians, pharmacists and nutritionists.
