Ocu Active, 60 capsules

WOSCHA Ocu Aktiv can support the eyes and normal vision

Our eyes are our most important sensory organ, which is why eye problems are a particular psychological burden for us. Even in adolescence, complaints can occur due to computer work, driving for long periods, travelling at night, dry air and intense sunshine.

As we get older, our eyesight deteriorates and the risk of developing age-related eye diseases increases. A balanced diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables, together with avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, strengthens the eyes' resistance to external influences and contributes to eye health.

Supplements can also provide targeted support for the eyes with vitamins and nutrients. Our eye preparation Ocu Aktiv is particularly suitable for this because it

• helps to maintain vision (Vit. A, B2)
• promotes vision at night and at dusk (Vit. A)

WOSCHA Ocu Aktiv: 5 effective eye nutrients

Many eye supplements on the market contain substances that are only thought to have a beneficial effect on the eyes and vision - but there is no scientific proof of this. Our preparation only contains nutrients whose effectiveness has been proven by numerous studies. These include the traditional eye vitamins A and B2, the plant antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin from marigolds and anthocyanins from blueberry extract.

We have also made sure that all ingredients are present in sufficient quantities. The dosage from other suppliers is often not sufficient to actually promote vision. This is due to the high purchase prices of certain ingredients. Nevertheless, the price-performance ratio of Ocu Aktiv for one capsule a day is very good.

The bioavailability of eye vitamins and vital substances is naturally increased by black pepper extract. This natural product is frequently used in traditional Ayurvedic medicine.

Our eye preparation contains no additives that unnecessarily burden the body. Our product is suitable for vegetarians and vegans as the capsule shells are made from chlorophyll instead of bovine gelatine.

Important vitamins for the eyes

Vitamins A (retinol) and B2 (riboflavin) help to maintain normal vision. Rhodopsin, a component of visual purple in the retina, requires vitamin A for twilight and night vision. A deficiency makes driving at night and recognising contours more difficult. Sensitivity to glare also increases. Vitamin B2 helps to protect the cornea and the lens of the eye from harmful free radicals caused by UV radiation.

Lutein and zeaxanthin, which are extracted from marigolds

Lutein and zeaxanthin, two carotenoids, are plant antioxidants. They appear to play an important role in protecting the yellow spot (Matula lutea) from free radicals, the area of the eye where vision is sharpest. In this small area in the centre of the retina, only 2 mm in size, their concentration is exceptionally high (around 10,000 times higher than in the blood).

Studies have shown that lutein and zeaxanthin have a protective effect. They intercept blue light, which is particularly harmful to the eyes. Sensory cells are damaged if there is a deficiency, which inevitably leads to a reduction in vision. So far, studies have not found any side effects from taking lutein and zeaxanthin.

Blueberry extract for the eyes

Blueberries, as bilberries are also known, contain numerous natural components that can help to strengthen eyesight. Our ancestors, such as Hildegard von Bingen, were already aware of this fact.

Anthocyanins are the most important. Like vitamin A, these plant pigments contribute to the formation of the protein rhodopsin, which is responsible for the ability to see at dusk and at night. In addition, anthocyanins are able to protect the retina from free radicals and promote microcirculation in the capillaries of the choroid, which harmonises their positive influence in cases of declining vision.

Bilberry extract has proven to be very effective for problems caused by eye strain. These include dry, irritated and reddened eyes, visual disturbances, headaches and dizziness. There are several causes, including an inadequate supply of eye nutrients due to an unbalanced diet, intense sunlight, dry air and, above all, computer work (staring at a screen for hours on end).
