These 5 Antioxidants Are Vital For Optimizing Eye Health & Longevity

We tend to think about our heart and brain health in the context of extending our health span, which often leaves one major longevity organ on the back burner: our eyes. 

But since the pandemic brought more and more digital technology (read: screens) into our daily lives, folks are realizing the importance of taking active steps to help protect their eye health and function and bolster vision longevity. 

Known as "America's Integrative Eye Doctor," Banik knows a thing or two about maintaining optimal eye health—now and down the road.

"Vision is perhaps the most important of the five senses, and our eyes need unique botanical nutrients daily to keep them healthy. This is critical now more than ever in our digital world, with increased demands on our eyes from excess screen time," shares Banik.

Colorful pigments anthocyanins1 (a type of polyphenol) and crocins2 (another type of carotenoid) also offer potent antioxidant actions that help enhance lubrication and deliver additional protection for our eyes.*

"The anthocyanins found in maqui berry support healthy tear production to fight dry eye, while saffron's crocins deliver targeted effects that help protect the retina,"* says Banik.

While these key antioxidants can be consumed in your diet in modest amounts, the average American simply doesn't get enough fruits, vegetables, seafood, and spices on a daily basis to deliver the concentrated amounts clinically researched to support eye health and longevity. 

Alternatively, a comprehensive, daily eye health supplement like mbg's eye health+ is a simple and effective way to ensure you get targeted phytonutrient antioxidants your eyes vitally need, in just one daily capsule.*
