ICaps® Dietary Supplement Lutein and Zeaxanthin Formula is the only major ocular antioxidant supplement that has a time-release formula.  This unique time-release formula allows the ingredients to dissolve gradually, thereby contributing to greater absorption by the body. ICaps® Dietary Supplement Lutein and Zeaxanthin Formula is developed by Alcon Laboratories, a world-wide leader in eye care.  Each ICaps®  tablet is made of high quality ingredients and meets the rigorous quality-control standards of Alcon.  Alcon is involved in research studying the positive effects of antioxidants and carotenoids on healthy vision.  This ICaps® formula is Alcon's way of providing you with the important ingredients being studied by vision experts today. ICaps® Dietary Supplement Lutein and Zeaxanthin Formula is a specialized, comprehensive formula of carotenoids, antioxidants and minerals important to vision.  Lutein and Zeaxanthin are natural carotenoids that have been shown through structural and clinical studies to be concentrated in the macular segment of the retina.  These carotenoids are not produced by the human body, and their accumulation in the eye is dependent on dietary intake.  Studies suggest a relationship between these two carotenoids and the maintenance of a normal healthy macula and clarity of the lens of the eye.(1)  Zinc is an important mineral found in high concentrations in healthy eyes.  Zinc acetate has been proven to be the form of zinc with greatest absorption by the body.(2) (1)Pratt S.
