Icaps are eye vitamins that come in 3 different formula's depending on your requirements. These eye vitamins have been developed by expert eye nutrition specialists Alcon. They come as a multivitamin, a special lutein and zeaxanthin vitamin and a special eye vitamin for sufferers of AREDS. Good nutrition is really important for healthy eyes so just as we supplement our food with vitamins we can do the same with eye vitamins.
Research is proving that taking eye vitamins is just as important as taking other vitamins as they help to prevent and treat age related eye conditions. An essential nutrient is the carotenoids that come from fruit and dark green vegetables. Also in carotenoids are vitamins A, C, and E which contribute to eye health. Our vision also relies upon antioxidants like zinc and copper. As our bodies do not produce these essential antioxidants it's important to take a daily vitamin.
The Icaps eye vitamins also contain large amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin these are the carotenoids that protect the retina along with other important nutrients for the eye. For those of you who need to avoid beta carotene these eye vitamins do not contain vitamin A. These eye vitamins are also sensitive to the stomach as they have a coating that delays the release of the vitamin into the stomach.
The AREDS eye vitamins have exactly the correct amount of ingredients of vitamins and minerals that are relevant for age related eye conditions. They include a high dosage of Zinc and other antioxidants needed to help and protect the eyes of these patients. It has been proved that these eye vitamins also help to delay the progression of AMD.

Free radicals are the big problem, however taking these vitamins daily help to reduce the effects.
