HealthyCell is introducing its latest supplement targeting the root cause of healthy eyesight: Eye Health MicroGel, an ultra-absorbable gel supplement.
Let’s start with this company.
Operating out of Charleston, South Carolina, HealthyCell is a biotechnology health and wellness company that develops nutritional supplements (for use in lieu of standard pill supplements) via its proprietary next-generation nutrient delivery technology.
The technology: MICROGEL is a patent-pending, unique delivery system designed to enable maximum absorption of nutrients into the body via the release of extremely small, ultra-bioavailable, soluble nutrient particles in the digestive tract.
In other words: This delivery system is formulated as a single, ultra-absorbable gel pack.
What kind of quality processes do these supplements undergo?
The company reports that all of its products are developed in FDA-inspected, Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)-compliant facilities.
As far as testing goes: These products are also noted as being independently tested to ensure they meet label claims and are free of heavy metals, pesticides, herbicides, and residual solvents, to name a few.
Gotcha. Let’s circle back to this MICROGEL technology.
These particles break down in the digestive tract and are then absorbed into the bloodstream to be turned into cells (where they get to work on improving health).
See here for more details on how this six-step process works.
Alrighty, now talk about this product.
The Eye Health gel supplement is formulated with 10 micronutrients to support visual acuity (VA) and retinal health as well as protect against oxidative stress. These nutrients include:
- Carotenoids
- Lutein
- Zeaxanthin
- Vitamin A
- Vitamin E
- Vitamin C
- Bilberry fruit extract (for retinal inflammation)
- Astaxanthin
- Lycopene
- Ahiflower seed oil
- Omega-3 fatty acid that contains docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), a primary structural component of the retina)
See here for the complete nutrition facts.
How do these nutrients benefit the retina?
The human macula lutea and eye lens are abundant in lutein and zeaxanthin, which help to maintain eye health and prevent ophthalmic diseases.
Plus: Ocular carotenoids are known to absorb light from the visible region (400 to 500 nm wavelength), which allows them to protect the retina and lens from potential photochemical damage caused by light exposure.
- Even further: The natural antioxidants also help to protect the eye from oxidative stress, apoptosis, mitochondrial dysfunction, and inflammation.
And the vitamins?
Vitamins A, C, and E are considered the most effective vitamins that reduce macular degeneration risk, acting as crucial antioxidants for maintaining retinal tissue health:
- Vitamin A: Plays a key role in human retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells
- Vitamin C: Helps to maintain collagen in the eye’s cornea and promotes the health of the retina’s capillaries
- Vitamin E: Via alpha-tocopherol (a form of Vitamin E), contains strong antioxidant properties for protecting RPE cells from oxidative damage
Nice! So how can the supplement be absorbed?
The gel supplement can be consumed straight on its own, mixed in a drink, or blended in a smoothie.
Note: It is currently available in a blood orange flavor.
