Natural Astaxanthin for Eye Strain

November 2005

A clinical study done in Japan on the effects of Natural Astaxanthin (from microalgae) on problems associated with the extended use of visual display terminals showed very promising results.

People who work for long periods on computers or other visual display terminals often experience eye strain, blurring or even double vision.

In this double blind, placebo controlled study, the authors reported that the experimental group that took 5 mg of Natural Astaxanthin per day experienced a 46% reduction in the number of subjects reporting eye strain. Previous work at the University of Illinois documented Astaxanthin’s ability to cross the blood-brain barrier to bring antioxidant protection to the eyes, the brain and the central nervous system.

This study is an additional indication of Astaxanthin’s ability to positively impact eye health.
