VITALUX® VITAMINS AND MINERALS CAPSULE

VITALUX® is a nutritional supplement containing vitamins and minerals, which are essential for the eye. Your eye – exposed to the harmful effects of air and light – is an organ particularly sensitive to cellular ageing. This process is due to the action of free radicals generated, particularly by the light, during a person’s life. Many events in everyday life may cause a deficiency of vitamins and minerals leading to less efficient antioxidant systems. Visual fatigue is one of the consequences of this deficiency. The events which may induce vitamin and minerals deficiencies are:

• age
• unbalanced diet
• prolonged exposure to natural or artificial light
• mental fatigue, stress
• pollution
• tobacco

It is better to consult your ophthalmologist at regular intervals, since visual fatigue does not always mean a deficiency of vitamins and minerals.

Composition:

VITALUX® is a nutritional product which improves the availability of vitamins and minerals. VITALUX®, however, cannot replace a healthy and balanced diet.
