While many individuals are able to convert provitamin A carotenoids, like beta carotene, into active vitamin A, recent research has revealed that genetic variations can limit the ease of this conversion for some. Genetic variations in the enzyme BCMO1 (-Carotene 15,15-monooxygenase 1) can decrease the conversion efficacy of carotenoids into retinal by up to 69%. Known as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), these common variations can be bypassed with dietary retinol (vitamin A). Since variations in the BCMO1 gene have also been associated with macular pigment density, this formula includes a blend of lutein, zeaxanthin and astaxanthin. Lutein and zeaxanthin, the two carotenoids found in macular pigment, are antioxidants that help to maintain good eye health. Astaxanthin further supports antioxidant defences by protecting the phospholipid membranes of cells from oxidative damage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eINGREDIENTS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"ingredients-list\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"title\"\u003eMedicinal Ingredients\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cul class=\"medicinal\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-name\"\u003eLutein\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-amt\"\u003e3 mg\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-name\"\u003eVitamin A\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-amt\"\u003e5000 IU\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-name\"\u003eVitamin A\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-amt\"\u003e1494 mcg RAE\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-name\"\u003eZeaxanthin\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-amt\"\u003e500 mcg\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"title\"\u003eNon-Medicinal Ingredients\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cul class=\"non-medicinal\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-name\"\u003eBeet juice concentrate\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-name\"\u003eCellulose\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-name\"\u003eHydroxypropylmethylcellulose\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ingredient-name\"\u003ePurified water\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"PURE ENCAPSULATIONS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40814277853345,"sku":"47221221","price":37.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0368\/2267\/9692\/products\/766298018591.jpg?v=1671398466","url":"https:\/\/yorkdale-nutrition-house.myshopify.com\/products\/47221221","provider":"Nutrition House Yorkdale ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
