Frequently Asked Questions About Eye Health

Which nutrients support eye health
The retina is among the most metabolically active tissue in the body. Vitamin A forms retinal, the light-sensitive molecule at the heart of vision, and vitamins A, D, E and K are fat-soluble, so absorption depends on digestion and bile flow.
What is in the eye-health collection
L-Lysine Liquid Drops 1000mg with vitamin C and B12, and vitamin-formula drops that supply the fat-soluble vitamins eyes rely on.
Why does fat absorption matter for eye vitamins
Vitamins A, D, E and K are fat-soluble. If digestion or bile flow is compromised, absorption suffers regardless of dose, so pair them with food that contains some fat.

Nutrients Your Eyes Rely On

The eye is one of the most metabolically active tissues in the body, and the retina in particular is exposed to constant light and oxidative stress. Several nutrients play well-documented roles in maintaining normal vision, and this collection brings together the formulas that supply them.

What's in This Collection

  • L-Lysine Liquid Drops 1000mg - combined with vitamin C and B12. Vitamin C is concentrated in the aqueous humour of the eye and contributes to protecting ocular tissue from oxidative stress.
  • TUDCA 1000mg Gummies - included for its liver and bile flow support, which matters here because the fat-soluble vitamins the eye depends on require healthy fat absorption.
  • Grass-fed beef liver - nature's most concentrated source of preformed vitamin A (retinol), the form the body uses directly for the visual cycle and low-light vision.

Vitamin A and the Visual Cycle

Vitamin A is converted into retinal, the light-sensitive molecule at the heart of vision. Deficiency shows up first as difficulty seeing in low light. Beef liver supplies retinol directly - unlike plant beta-carotene, which has to be converted first, and that conversion is inefficient in some people.

A Note on Fat Absorption

Vitamins A, D, E and K are fat-soluble. If digestion or bile flow is compromised, absorption suffers regardless of intake. Take these formulas with a meal containing some fat.
