Why Choose VitaHealth Btech Eye?

Improves macular pigment optical density (MPOD) in 48 weeks for AMD patients – With 20mg lutein and 4mg zeaxanthin & meso zeaxanthin, it is able to increase 34.5% MPOD for AMD patients
Protects from high energy blue light – Lutein, zeaxanthin, meso-zeaxanthin could protect the photoreceptor outer segment and the retinal pigment epithelium by screening susceptible retinal structures from blue light
5:1 golden ratio formula of lutein and zeaxanthin according to AREDS2 studies whereby it will not induce lung cancer incidence in large population
Vegetarian-friendly and halal-applicable product – Uses vegetable capsule
Antioxidants for the eyes with conjugated double bond in structure of lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin, it is ready to accept free radicals; hence, providing anti-oxidation protection to the eyes
Suitable for heavy digital device users (more than 6 hours daily) Supplemental with lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin restore macular pigment optical density that helps filter blue light emitted from the screens of digital devices
Beneficial to those with early AMD – Antioxidants play a vital role to provide protection against UV and blue light damage causes photo-oxidation reaction and in turn age-related ocular diseases such as AMD
New 20-20-20-20 rules – Looking at something 20 feet away every 20 minutes for 20 seconds and taking supplement loaded with 20mg of lutein
Global AMD raising by 170% − Global prevalence of AMD patients was expected to raise to 288 million by the year 2040 compared to 170 million in 2016
Halal-certified
