Icaps maintains healthy eyes and contains lutein and zeaxanthin which are recommended by ophthalmologists, opticians and nutritionists. Icaps is a specialised, comprehensive formula of antioxidant vitamins, minerals and carotenoids which are important to vision and ocular health. Lutein and zeaxanthin are natural carotenoids that have been shown through structural and clinical studies to be concentrated in the macular segment of the retina. Accumulation of these caroteniods is dependant on dietary intake. Studies demonstrate a relationship between these two carotenoids and the maintenance of a normal healthy macula and clarity of the lens. Icaps contains zinc, an important mineral found in high concentrations in healthy eyes. Zinc acetate has been proven to be the form of zinc with the greatest absorption by the body.
