Ingredients explained
Anthocyanins (from Black Currant Fruit Extract)
Anthocyanins act as antioxidant flavonoids that may help neutralize reactive oxygen species in ocular tissues and support retinal and lens integrity.
Caution: May cause mild stomach upset in some people; take with food if sensitive.
Lutein (from Marigold Flower Extract)
Lutein concentrates in the macula where it helps filter high-energy blue light and supports antioxidant protection of retinal cells.
Caution: High intakes from supplements may cause harmless yellowing of the skin in rare cases; reduce dose if noticed.
Organic Astaxanthin (from Haematococcus pluvialis)
Astaxanthin is a carotenoid antioxidant that can cross into eye tissues and help quench free radicals generated by light exposure.
Caution: May interact with blood-thinning strategies due to antioxidant effects; consult a professional if you use such products.
Zeaxanthin (from Marigold Flower Extract)
Zeaxanthin accumulates in the macula to help absorb blue light and provide antioxidant defense for photoreceptor cells.
Caution: In rare cases, carotenoids may cause mild skin discoloration; this is cosmetic and reversible.
How they work together
Lutein and zeaxanthin form the macular pigment, where they help filter blue light and provide local antioxidant protection. Anthocyanins support ocular blood flow and antioxidant capacity, complementing macular carotenoids. Astaxanthin adds broad-spectrum antioxidant activity that is studied for visual comfort under bright light.

Overview
- Dietary Supplement
- For Eye Support
- Dr. Mercola Has Been Providing Quality Products Since 2001
Contrary to popular opinion, declining eyesight isn’t a result of growing older. Rather, it’s often a side effect of our modern lifestyle – and a lack of the nutrients your eyes need to thrive.
Smoking, obesity, blood sugar and blood pressure issues as well as lack of sleep can hasten a decline in your ability to see clearly. Too many hours of screen time can also take its toll on your eye health and visual acuity and comfort over time.
To help you support your eyes through the many challenging conditions they face, Eye Support is formulated with four of the most powerful ingredients for eye health:
- Anthocyanins from Black Currant Extract are one of the newest groups of antioxidants recognized for their powerful eye support benefits. They are easily absorbed into your plasma and eye tissue to nourish your eyes and help provide support against visual fatigue.
- Lutein is a naturally-occurring carotenoid that is used by your body as an antioxidant. It provides valuable support for your eyes by fighting free radicals and protecting cells from oxidative damage.
- Zeaxanthin is the strongest antioxidant carotenoid found in your retina and moves easily into eye tissues. Together with Lutein, it significantly increases macular pigment density for visual acuity and helps ease common visual complaints.
- Organic Astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis microalga, the preferred source, readily crosses into the tissues of your eyes and promotes optimal eye energy levels and visual acuity while supporting your retina during bright light exposures.
Based on thorough research, our formula contains the optimal dose of each ingredient for effective protection against damaging free radicals and for promoting optimal macula and retina health. It’s also free of synthetic ingredients, as our Organic Astaxanthin is grown in a pure, toxin-free environment and extracted without solvents.
We’ve taken the guesswork out of finding the right combination of botanicals for healthy eyes and vision. Enjoy the confidence of knowing you’re giving your eyes ideal support for optimal health, and order Eye Support today.
