Lutein and anthocyanin are two types of visual nutrients found in the medical field that can directly reach the fundus. Both elements have irreplaceable effects on the eyes. But for myopic patients, currently only lutein products are the best products for eye protection and health care. Why do you say that? Below is a brief comparison of the effects of lutein and lutein.
Anthocyanin Benefits for Eyes
Anthocyanins can promote the production of rhodopsin in the eye, stabilize the microvessels in the eye, and enhance the circulation of microvessels. In addition, anthocyanin is a strong antioxidant, which can reduce the damage of free radicals to the eyes and help prevent cataracts. Foods rich in anthocyanins mainly include blueberries, blackberries, cherries, eggplants, red pomegranates, purple rice, etc. (uncommon and expensive).
Lutein for Eye Health
1. Protect your eyes from light damage:
Ultraviolet and blue light from sunlight entering the eyes will produce a large number of free radicals, leading to cataracts, macular degeneration, and even cancer. Ultraviolet rays can generally be filtered out by the cornea and lens, but blue light can penetrate the eyeball and reach the retina and macula. Lutein in the macula can filter out blue light and avoid blue light damage to the eyes.
2. Protect eyesight:
As an antioxidant and photoprotective, lutein can promote the regeneration of rhodopsin in retinal cells, which can prevent myopia and protect vision.
3. Relieve visual fatigue:
Lutein can relieve the symptoms of visual fatigue, blurred vision, dry eyes, eye swelling, eye pain, photophobia, etc.
Lutein cannot be synthesized by the human body, and must come from food absorption or nutritional supplements. Lutein health products will be more reasonable and can fully ensure that you supplement enough lutein every day, such as Huyuanbao brand Nuoyuan chewable tablets, which are produced by large manufacturers such as North China Pharmaceutical are more reliable.
Summary
Lutein has the functions of increasing macular pigment density, resisting blue light damage, nourishing visual cells, promoting rhodopsin production, anti-oxidation, and scavenging harmful free radicals in the eyes. Anthocyanins also have strong antioxidant properties and scavenge free radicals, but they are not as comprehensive as lutein, so lutein is known as "eye gold".
