Free radicals or reactive oxygen species (ROS) are produced continuously in the body as a result of normal metabolic processes, as well as derived from external factors such as exposure to the sun, environmental conditions, and other pollutants. There is a complex defense system that allows a balance between the production of ROS and the activation of antioxidants, which protect against oxidative damage.

Under certain conditions, such as poorly balanced diets, advanced age, or situations with increased ROS generation, the antioxidant system is not sufficient to block all oxidative stress and can cause tissue damage. Precisely the eye is an organ that is highly exposed to high levels of oxidative stress, so it has a high demand for antioxidants to maintain oxidative balance.

OcuHealth is a complementary food that provides ingredients with antioxidant activity to promote optimal eye health. Its formula is based on alpha-lipoic acid, the universal antioxidant. It is a molecule soluble in both water and fat, which gives it a very special characteristic: it can act both in the cell membrane and inside the cell. It acts as an antioxidant in both its oxidized and reduced forms.
