NICS Lutein 30 mg + Zeaxanthin

Together with beta-carotene, fat-soluble lutein belongs to the group of compounds known as carotenoid-type antioxidants.

The main natural sources of lutein are

Dark green leafy vegetables, cabbage, broccoli, marigold petals, egg yolks, blueberries, mangoes.

Lutein, along with zeaxanthin, is an essential component of the so-called yellow spot in the retina. These two micronutrients cannot be produced by the body and can only be obtained through proper nutrition.

Natural sources of zeaxanthin

Corn, citrus fruits, pritamin peppers, tomatoes, pumpkin.

This mineral is bluish in room temperature, a cold, metallic element. Its name comes from the German name Zink, also known as horgany in Hungarian.

In the form of alloys, zinc was known in antiquity, but the material itself was not known until around 1300. Its role in the human body was long overlooked.

The body contains 2-3 grams of zinc, mainly in the hair, eyes and male genitals, but it is also found in the liver, kidneys, muscles and wine.

Main natural sources

Eggs, pulses, liver, seafood, crab, pumpkin seeds, wheat germ, oil seeds.

Why is zinc important?

Zinc is involved in normal carbohydrate metabolism, the normal metabolism of macronutrients, fatty acids and vitamin A, and the maintenance of a normal acid-base balance. It contributes to normal bone structure, normal vision, hair, nails and wine. It also contributes to normal immune function, protection of cells against oxidative stress, maintenance of normal mental function, normal DNA synthesis and maintenance of normal blood testosterone levels. It plays a role in cell division, normal protein synthesis and the maintenance of normal fertility and reproduction.

It is named after Selene, the moon goddess of Greek mythology. By the late 1800s, it had been proven to be an essential trace element for the body, as it contains a certain enzyme called glutathione peroxidase, which protects the body against toxins that have entered the body. Selenium is found in the human body in amounts of only 10-15 mg.

The main natural sources of selenium

Brazil nuts, tuna, sunflower seeds, rice, red meats, poultry, wholemeal flour bakery products, cashew nuts.

Why is selenium important?

They interact with vitamin E to enhance each other's benefits, helping to protect cells against oxidative stress. In addition, selenium contributes to the maintenance of normal nails and hair, as well as normal thyroid and immune function.

A fat-soluble compound that is stored in the liver, adipose tissues, heart, muscles, blood, adrenal glands and pituitary gland. Vitamin E was discovered and isolated in the 1920s and 1930s in the course of experiments to study vegetable oils, but it was not until the 1970s that it was realised that it was a substance essential for humans. Unlike the other fat-soluble vitamins, vitamin E, like the B vitamins or vitamin C, remains in the body for a relatively short time.

Main natural sources

Wheat germ, soybeans, vegetable oils, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, spinach, whole grains, eggs.

Why is vitamin E important?

It helps protect cells against oxidative stress.

Anthocyanin-rich blueberry extract is a significant antioxidant.

Of interest

The dark reddish-blue colour of the berries is due to anthocyanin molecules, which change their colour range from red to blue depending on the pH value.

Copper is one of the most commonly and longest used metals, and its presence in our bodies is necessary for many processes.

Its main natural sources are

Tomato sardines, sunflower seeds, crab, lobster, peanuts, oysters, prunes.

Why is copper important?

Copper in the body contributes to normal energy-producing metabolic processes, normal functioning of the nervous system, normal pigmentation of hair and wine, normal functioning of the immune system.

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin. It needs fats and minerals to be absorbed from the digestive tract. It occurs in two forms, one is elovitamin A and the other is provitamin A, known as carotene.

Its main natural sources are

Milk, eggs, carrots, cantaloupe, apricots, pumpkin, spinach and animal offal (liver, kidney, heart).

Why is vitamin A important?

It contributes to the normal condition of the mucous membranes and wine. It is involved in normal iron metabolism and plays a role in cell differentiation. It contributes to the maintenance of normal vision and the normal functioning of the immune system.
