Look into the power
of carotenoids.
Zeaxanthin and Lutein are the only two naturally occurring carotenoids
out of 600 found in nature that are specifically located in the macula
of the eye. Our primary sources of these two carotenoids are dark green,
leafy vegetables and orange-yellow vegetables and fruits. Unfortunately,
according to the Center For Disease Control (CDC), less than 25% of
consumers are eating the recommended five or more servings of
vegetables and fruits. This dietary gap provides manufacturers the
opportunity to offer consumers a variety of carotenoid fortified beverages.
The protection of OPTISHARP® zeaxanthin is a sight for
consumers' eyes.
Maintaining healthy vision is a major concern, especially for those at risk for
age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Recent scientific studies suggest a link between OPTISHARP® zeaxanthin and eye health. OPTISHARP® has been shown to absorb the harmful blue light in sunlight, helping to prevent damage to the eyes. Clearly, including OPTISHARP® in your
beverages can give you a visible advantage.
OPTISHARP® is what you'll see in nature.
Identical to the zeaxanthin found in corn, greens and other vegetables, OPTISHARP® zeaxanthin has the same chemical structure and
properties. That means OPTISHARP® can deliver the same protective
benefits for eye health as the
zeaxanthin that occurs naturally. OPTISHARP® zeaxanthin, along with FloraGLO® lutein can provide the
optimum ratio.
Certified quality. Scientifically proven.
A study recently published in the Archives of Ophthalmology found
evidence that the women who
participated in the study had more
protection from age-related macular degeneration and photo-reduced retinal damage with a diet rich in zeaxanthin. Other recent studies have shown that Optisharp® zeaxanthin improves
visual performance in dim light and improves visual acuity.
Increase the visibility
of your beverages
in the market.
Adding GRAS-affirmed OPTISHARP® zeaxanthin and FloraGLO® lutein to your beverages can put them on consumers' radar screens. You'll be offering beneficial ingredients that help your customers protect their vision. And DSM pre-mixes that contain OPTISHARP® zeaxanthin and FloraGLO® lutein can give your business a view of greater potential sales. |
