Retigard Tablet 10's

Retigard Tablet prevents eye diseases, such as ARMD (Age-related macular degeneration), high ocular pressure, and cataracts. It consists of Lutein, Zeaxanthin, Vitamin C, Zinc, Vitamin E, and Copper. When the ocular lens is exposed to oxygen, dust, and light rays, it leads to the formation of free radicals that affect the vision. This supplement is an antioxidant that prevents the eye damage caused due to such free radicals and maintains the healthy functioning of the eye. Lutein and Zeaxanthin are the carotenoids that filter the high-energy blue light exposed onto the eye.

• Lutein is a carotenoid (plant pigment) with anti-inflammatory properties. It is also an antioxidant and ensures better vision and eye health. 
• Zeaxanthin is a carotenoid that protects the eyes from damage caused due to high-intensity light, such as ultraviolet rays and oxidation. It protects the vision cells and aids in slowing down the degeneration of the eye’s macula (part of the retina at the back of the eye).
• Vitamin C is an antioxidant that prevents cell damage in the ocular tissues. It also boosts the immune system.
• Vitamin E (Tocopherol) is an antioxidant that lowers the risk of vision problems like cataracts and ARMD.
• Zinc protects against macular degeneration, night blindness, cataract, optic nerve damage, and cloudy cataracts.
• Copper is essential for the development of eye connective tissues. It reduces the progression of macular degeneration and maintains retinal health.

Swallow the tablet as a whole with a glass of water, preferably with meals or as directed by the physician. Do not try to break/crush/chew it.
