Ashwagandha is an evergreen shrub that grows in Asia and Africa.
What it does.
Widely used adaptogen to reduce stress and increase executive function, reaction time, attention, and memory. One study demonstrated that adults who took 300 milligrams of ashwagandha daily for 8 weeks had lower levels of anxiety and fatigue.
What is it?
Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) is a plant that grows in cold parts of Europe and Asia. The root has a long history of use in traditional medicine.
What it does.
It is widely used to stimulate the nervous system, reduce anxiety, enhance work performance, relieve fatigue, and prevent high altitude sickness. Previous studies reported that Rhodiola Rosea improves learning and memory function in animal models.
What is it?
Lutein is one of two major carotenoids found in the human eye (macula and retina).
What it does.
It is thought to function as a light filter, protecting the eye tissues from sunlight damage.
What is it?
Zeaxanthin is a common carotenoid, a pigment found in high levels in dark green vegetables, orange and yellow fruits, and egg yolks.
What it does.
It builds a yellow-colored pigment shield to protect eye cells from the harmful effects of certain light sources, such as the sun.It protects the eyes from dangerous free radicals, unstable molecules that steal electrons from healthy cells, causing damage (what's known as oxidation).
What is it?
Astaxanthin is a red pigment that belongs to a group of chemicals called carotenoids. It occurs in certain algae and causes the pink-red color in salmon.
What it does.
Astaxanthin is an antioxidant. This effect might protect cells from damage. Certain studies have shown daily astaxanthin nutritional supplement can decrease blurred vision, eye strain, and visual acuity.
The benefits of astaxanthin for combatting eye fatigue may actually be due to its ability to relax the certain eye muscles and increase blood flow to the retinal capillaries.
What is it?
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is a nutrient your body needs to form blood vessels, cartilage, muscle and collagen in bones. Vitamin C is also vital to your body's healing process.
What it does.
Vitamin C is needed for energy yielding metabolism. It aids in the conversion of fat into energy, helping fight fatigue and keep you awake and alert. Taking oral vitamin C supplements in combination with other vitamins and minerals seems to prevent age-related macular degeneration (AMD) from worsening. Studies also suggest that people who have higher levels of vitamin C in their diets have a lower risk of developing cataracts.
What is it?
Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin with several forms, but alpha-tocopherol is the only one used by the human body. Its main role is to act as an antioxidant, scavenging loose electrons—so-called “free radicals”—that can damage cells.
What it does.
Vitamin E, an antioxidant, may help protect your eyes against damaging free radicals. It's used in a daily supplement called AREDS as a potential treatment for AMD, and high amounts in your diet may be associated with a reduced risk of cataracts.
