OculoSelect
Moss Nutrition
Overview
OculoSelect contains a robust blend of ingredients known to support eye health, particularly lutein and zeaxanthin which are present at clinically relevant dosages. The inclusion of various vitamins, antioxidants, and supportive compounds provides a comprehensive approach to ocular well-being. However, the efficacy of some ingredients, while generally beneficial, may not be specifically tailored for eye health at the given dosages, and some ingredients like Bilberry Extract have mixed evidence for vision-specific benefits.
The Good
Optimal Doses of Key Carotenoids: Contains 20 mg Lutein and 4 mg Zeaxanthin (from Lutemax 2020), which aligns with research-backed doses for macular health and blue light filtration.
Comprehensive Antioxidant Support: Features a broad spectrum of antioxidant nutrients including Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Selenium, N-Acetyl Cysteine, and Alpha Lipoic Acid, which collectively protect ocular tissues from oxidative damage.
Bioavailable Curcumin: Includes 50 mg of Meriva Curcumin Phytosome Complex, a highly bioavailable form of curcumin that may offer anti-inflammatory benefits to support overall eye health.
The Bad
High Vitamin E Dosage: The 134 mg (893% DV) of Vitamin E is significantly high, and while generally safe in the short term, prolonged high-dose intake of alpha-tocopherol has been associated with increased risks, including potential interference with blood clotting.
Potential for Drug Interactions: Ingredients like Vitamin E and Meriva Curcumin can interact with certain medications, such as anticoagulants, necessitating professional medical advice.
Limited Direct Evidence for All Ingredients Specific to Eye Health: While many ingredients offer general antioxidant benefits, their explicit efficacy for specific eye conditions at these doses may not be as robustly studied as lutein and zeaxanthin.
