Indications
Zicolin is used for Age-related Eye Disease. This new advanced supplement provides nutritional support for the eyes. Zicolin contains important vitamins, minerals, and Lutein, which are antioxidants.
Pharmacology
Zicolin is concentrated in the lens of the eye compared to blood. Long-term use of Vitamin C has been linked to a lower risk of cataracts. Vitamin C helps remove harmful free radicals from the body.
In studies, high levels of Vitamin E in the blood have been associated with a reduced risk of cataracts, although the exact mechanism isn’t clear. As an antioxidant, Vitamin E also helps remove harmful free radicals.
Lutein is a carotenoid found in high concentrations in the macula of the eye. Studies suggest Zicolin may protect the macula from damage caused by light or oxidative stress.
Although the exact mechanism isn’t clear, studies have shown that a high intake of Lutein may lower the risk of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD). Zinc is a trace element essential for many body processes, and its deficiency can cause issues such as poor wound healing and increased susceptibility to infection.
Copper is important for growth, bone health, and the development of the nervous system. Zicolin also plays a role in various metabolic processes in the body.
