Health information platform Valleant is seeking to uncover the truth about vision health supplements and nutrients in a newly published guide.
-- While many supplements claim to improve eye health, such products are broadly unregulated and may not perform as advertised. Valleant, a collective of health professionals, is interrogating the most popular options in a new nutritional guide to determine which supplements may provide real benefits to the eyes and which are best avoided.

Valleant begins their investigation by establishing that nutrition does play a significant role in eye health but that many of the most important nutrients can be found in sufficient amounts in a typical balanced diet. However, those with restricted diets may have trouble finding sources for some of the most critical nutrients on the list.
An example of this, Valleant says, could be omega-3 fatty acids, which are primarily found in fish—and in smaller amounts—in certain vegetables and legumes. Omega-3 supplementation may be necessary to maintain eye health if an individual does not regularly consume enough of these foods.
Lutein is another supplement that is often recommended anecdotally for conditions such as macular degeneration, though Valleant urges caution. Lutein, like most supplements, has not been extensively studied, nor are lutein supplements subject to FDA regulations, meaning the true efficacy of the carotenoid is not truly known.
Studies cited by Valleant in their guide point to the fact that no single supplement is capable of preventing or slowing age-related eye conditions. Rather, a diet complete with amino acids, vitamins, minerals, and, indeed, several essential carotenoids found primarily in colorful vegetables and leafy greens is all necessary for continued eye health.
They emphasize that anyone concerned about their eye health should turn first to a vision specialist before pursuing any form of nutritional supplementation. These professionals typically have access to the latest studies and guidance on topics related to vision health and should be considered the ultimate authority on the matter of nutritional supplements.
This investigation is the latest in a lengthy series published by Valleant regarding a range of nutrition-related topics. Those interested in reading more about the latest findings in the field of eye health can find the full guide available for free at the link below.
