The Eye Health Patch combines an incredible 25 essential nutrients, minerals and antioxidants in one easy to use topical patch.
 
INGREDIENTS:
 

• Vitamin C (from L-Ascorbate and Organic Acerola Cherry Extract)

Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) — an essential nutrient and powerful antioxidant that supports:
🧬 Immune health: Helps your body fight infections and heal wounds faster.
 💪 Collagen production: Vital for healthy skin, blood vessels, bones, and connective tissue.
 🧠 Antioxidant protection: Neutralizes free radicals, helping protect cells from oxidative stress.
 🥦 Iron absorption: Enhances absorption of non-heme (plant-based) iron.
 

• Vitamin E (as D-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate)
  
  Functions
  
  Antioxidant Protection:
  Neutralizes free radicals, reducing oxidative stress.
  Helps prevent chronic diseases linked to oxidative damage (e.g., cardiovascular disease, certain cancers).
  
  Immune System Support:
  Enhances immune response, particularly in older adults.
  
  Skin and Eye Health:
  Promotes skin healing and protects against UV damage.
  May slow age-related macular degeneration.
  
  Cell Membrane Integrity:
  Maintains healthy cell membranes, particularly in red blood cells and nerves.
   

• Zinc (as Zinc Oxide)
  
  Zinc is an essential trace mineral that your body needs in small amounts but is crucial for many biological functions.
  🧬 Key Benefits
  Immune Support – Strengthens immune response and helps fight infections.
  Wound Healing – Aids in tissue repair and skin regeneration.
  DNA & Protein Synthesis – Vital for growth, cell division, and reproduction.
  Sense of Taste & Smell – Necessary for proper sensory function.
  Hormone Balance – Supports testosterone levels and fertility in both men and women.
  Skin Health – May help reduce acne and inflammation.
  Antioxidant Role – Helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
   

• Selenium (as L-Selenomethionine)
  
  Selenium is an essential trace mineral that supports numerous vital processes in the body. When provided as selenomethionine, it is in a highly bioavailable organic form — meaning it is more easily absorbed and utilized compared to inorganic forms like sodium selenite.
   

• Copper (as Cupric Oxide)
  
  Key Roles for Eye Health
  
  1. Antioxidant Defense
  Copper is part of superoxide dismutase (SOD), an antioxidant enzyme that protects eye tissues from oxidative damage.
  Oxidative stress in the eyes contributes to cataracts, macular degeneration, and other age-related eye problems.
  
  2. Collagen & Connective Tissue Support
  Copper-dependent enzyme lysyl oxidase helps form collagen and elastin.
  Collagen is essential for the cornea, sclera, and blood vessels in the eye.
  Adequate copper may support structural integrity of the eyes.
  
  3. Iron Metabolism & Blood Supply
  Copper helps mobilize iron for hemoglobin production.
  Healthy blood supply is critical for retina and optic nerve function.
   

• Omega-3 (with plant-based EPA & DHA from Algae)
  DHA supports retinal health and may reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration.
   

• Carrot Powder (root)
  
  Key Eye-Health Nutrients in Carrot Powder
  
  1. Beta-Carotene
  Carrot powder is rich in beta-carotene, which the body converts to
  vitamin A. 
  Vitamin A is essential for:
  * Retinal health: Maintains photo-receptors for good vision, especially in low light (night vision).
  * Preventing dryness: Supports tear production and overall eye moisture.
  * Protection against age-related degeneration: Antioxidants in carrots may help reduce oxidative stress in the eyes.
  
  2. Other Carotenoids
  * Lutein and zeaxanthin (found in smaller amounts) protect the retina from blue light and oxidative damage.
  
  3. Antioxidants
  * Help neutralize free radicals, reducing risk of cataracts and macular degeneration.
  
  Benefits for Eye Health
  * Supports night vision and prevents night blindness.
  * Helps maintain overall eye function.
  * Protects eyes from age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and oxidative damage.
   

• Eyebright (Euphrasia officinalis {aerial parts})
  Used historically for eye irritation, redness, or tired eyes.
  Often applied as a compress, infusion, or in eye drops.
   

• Goji Berry Powder (fruit)
  
  Key Eye-Healthy Nutrients
  
  1. Zeaxanthin
  * A carotenoid concentrated in the retina.
  * Protects against blue light damage and oxidative stress.
  * May reduce risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
  
  2. Beta-Carotene / Vitamin A
  * Essential for maintaining healthy vision.
  * Supports night vision and overall retinal health.
  
  3. Antioxidants (Flavonoids, Polysaccharides)
  * Reduce oxidative stress in ocular tissues.
  * May protect against cataracts and retinal damage.
  
  Potential Eye Health Benefits
  * Protection Against Macular Degeneration: Zeaxanthin and carotenoids help protect central vision.
  * Improved Visual Function: Supports retinal cell health and may enhance overall eye performance.
  * Anti-Oxidative Support: Reduces free radical damage in the eyes, which is linked to aging and eye disorders.
   

• Lutein (from Marigold Flowers)
  * Source: Marigold flowers (Tagetes erecta), commonly extracted as lutein ester.
  * Type: Carotenoid (a pigment found in plants that is often yellow-orange in color).
  * Forms in supplements: Lutein free form or lutein esters.
  
  Primary Benefits
  Eye Health:
  
  * Macular protection: Lutein accumulates in the macula of the eye, forming a pigment that filters harmful blue light and protects retinal cells.
  
  * Supports visual performance: May improve contrast sensitivity and visual acuity, especially under glare or low-light conditions.
  
  * Antioxidant activity: Neutralizes free radicals in the eyes, potentially reducing the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts.
   

• Astaxanthin (from Algae)
  Astaxanthin is a red-orange carotenoid pigment naturally found in certain algae, seafood (like salmon, shrimp, krill), and yeast.
  
  The most potent and natural form comes from Haematococcus pluvialis, a freshwater microalga that produces astaxanthin under stress (like high light or nutrient deprivation).
  
  Key Properties
  * Potent antioxidant: Astaxanthin is known for being a strong antioxidant, stronger than beta-carotene, vitamin C, and vitamin E in some studies.
  
  Eye Health
  * Supports retinal health and may help reduce eye fatigue.
  * Protects against oxidative stress in the eyes.
  * Brain & Cognitive Support
   

• Lycopene (from Tomato fruit)
  
  Lycopene & Eye Health
  Role in Eyes:
  Lycopene is a potent antioxidant that protects eye tissues from oxidative stress caused by light exposure and free radicals.
  
  Helps reduce age-related macular degeneration (AMD) risk indirectly by limiting oxidative damage.
  
  May also support retinal health by protecting photoreceptor cells.
  
  Comparison with Other Eye Nutrients:
  Unlike Lutein and Zeaxanthin, lycopene does not accumulate directly in the macula, but it contributes to overall ocular antioxidant defense.
  
  Works synergistically with other carotenoids to enhance eye protection.
