Ocular Defense Formula: The Targeted Nutrients Your Eyes Are Starving For

Your eyes are among the hardest-working organs in your body, yet they're often the last to receive targeted nutritional support. Herbalife's Ocular Defense Formula was designed to change that. Let's look at what's inside and why your eyes need these specific nutrients.

What Is Ocular Defense Formula?

Ocular Defense Formula is a daily tablet that delivers a concentrated blend of antioxidants, vitamins, and carotenoids specifically selected to support eye health. With 30 tablets per container, it provides a full month of targeted ocular nutrition designed to protect and support your vision over the long term.

Key Ingredients and Their Roles

Lutein: This carotenoid is found naturally in the macula — the central part of your retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. Lutein acts as a natural blue-light filter, helping shield your eyes from high-energy light emitted by screens and the sun. Your body cannot produce lutein on its own, making dietary or supplemental intake essential.

Zeaxanthin: Works alongside lutein in the macula to form what scientists call the "macular pigment." This pigment functions like built-in sunglasses, absorbing harmful wavelengths of light before they can damage delicate retinal cells. Research shows that higher macular pigment density is associated with better visual performance.

Vitamin C: A powerful antioxidant that helps combat oxidative stress in the eye, which accumulates from UV exposure, screen time, and normal metabolic processes. The lens of your eye contains a particularly high concentration of Vitamin C.

Vitamin E: Protects the fatty acids in your eye cells from oxidative damage. Since the retina is rich in polyunsaturated fats, Vitamin E plays a critical protective role in maintaining cell membrane integrity.

Zinc: An essential mineral found in high concentrations in the retina and choroid (the vascular layer beneath the retina). Zinc helps transport Vitamin A from the liver to the retina to produce melanin, a protective pigment.

How It Works

Ocular Defense Formula works through multiple mechanisms:

• Blue light filtration: Lutein and zeaxanthin accumulate in the macula and physically filter harmful blue light wavelengths
• Antioxidant protection: The vitamin and mineral blend neutralizes free radicals that damage ocular tissues
• Structural support: Key nutrients support the health of retinal cells and blood vessels that nourish the eye
• Long-term defense: Consistent daily use builds up protective nutrient levels over time

How to Use

Take one tablet daily with a meal for optimal absorption. The fat-soluble nutrients like lutein and zeaxanthin are best absorbed when taken with food containing some healthy fats. Consistent daily use is key to building and maintaining protective nutrient levels in your eyes.
