Product Information
Unived’s Eye Health is formulated with natural carotenoids Lutein and Zeaxanthin both derived from the Marigold flower and beta-carotene from Blakeslea trispora, Grape seed extract, Vitamin C, D, E, folate, and Zinc to promote optimal eye health, support eye function, and help strengthen the immune system of the eye.
Carotenoids are made by plants and are found in various green leafy vegetables. In the body, Lutein and Zeaxanthin are found in the retina and lens where they act as natural antioxidants and help absorb damaging high-energy blue light and ultraviolet light. Beta-carotene is used to make vitamin A, which is required by the retina to detect light and convert it into electrical signals. Proanthocyanidins from Grape seed extract offers ocular health promotion. Other key vitamins and minerals ensure to prevent possible deficiencies and help to strengthen the immune system of the eye.
Unived’s Eye Health is ideal for people who are exposed to long-term digital eye strain, for people with reduced visual acuity, for people with age-related eye disorders, and for people looking to protect their eyes from oxidative stress and improve overall eyesight.
Key Benefits
- Filters blue light due to excessive screen time.
- Reduces eye strain.
- Promotes better sleep, focus, and eyesight.

Globally, approximately 250 million people suffer from varying degrees of vision loss. Leading causes include several eye conditions such as cataracts, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy. These conditions disproportionately affect older adults, and with an aging population, the number of affected individuals is predicted to increase exponentially [1].
Whilst the aetiology-related eye disease is complex and multifactorial, oxidative stress has been implicated as a common causative mechanism. The eye is particularly susceptible to oxidative stress as a result of its high oxygen consumption, high concentration of polyunsaturated fatty acids, and cumulative exposure to high-energy visible light. This combination of factors leads to the generation of reactive oxygen species that can trigger oxidative damage to ocular tissues [1].
Consequently, there has been significant research interest in the role of dietary antioxidants and the potential therapeutic benefits of antioxidant, vitamin, and mineral supplements as a simple and cost-effective strategy for disease prevention and/or control [1].

Unived’s Eye Health contains a combination of carotenoids, proanthocyanidins, vitamins, and minerals that exert a versatile mode of action in promoting overall eye health.
Mode of Action:
1. Lutein and Zeaxanthin are two principal components that build the macular pigment of the retina [2]. Has antioxidant properties and protects retinal pigment from phototoxic light damage by acting as a filter for harmful light rays [4]. Improves macular pigment optical density, thereby reducing the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) [5].
2. Grape seed extract protects eye cells from oxidative stress [11]. Studies show that phytochemicals from grapes, like proanthocyanidins, can help minimize various eye issues. This includes macular degeneration, uvea issues, cataracts, red eye, diabetic retinopathy, retinal thickening, and eye cell damage [12] [13]. Research indicates proanthocyanidins are involved in reducing these eye defects [11].
3. Beta-carotene: A precursor to Vitamin A, plays a major role in the pathways that are responsible for generating vision. May reduce the risk of developing advanced AMD. Supports the function of the cornea, which is the protective layer of the eye, and helps keep the eye lubricated, preventing dry eyes [5] [6].
4. Zinc: This plays an important role in the metabolism of the retina and the lens of the eye. Zinc is considered to have an interaction with vitamin A in the generation of the visual pigments of the retina; night blindness occurs with zinc deficiency even in the presence of adequate vitamin A [6].
5. Vitamin C: Acts as a powerful antioxidant and regenerates Vitamin E. Protects the retina against light damage. Shown to reduce the risk of UV-induced cataracts [6].
6. Vitamin E: Benefits to ocular health include effects on the expression and activities of molecules and enzymes in immune and inflammatory cells [9]. Prevent oxidative damage and plays an important role in maintaining a strong immune system in the eye [6].
7. Vitamin D: Studies demonstrate that vitamin D significantly reduces signs of retinal inflammation [10].
8. Folate: Folate or Vitamin B9 plays a vital role in the pathways that involve the breakdown of homocysteine levels thus preventing its implications on eye health [11].
