SeeStead

SEESTEAD® is an advanced nutritional formula comprising Lutein, Zeaxanthin, Bilberry Extract, Beetroot Extract, Grape Seed Extract, N-Acetyl D- Glucosamine, Vitamin C, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B12, Selenium, and Taurine, which work synergistically to maintain eye health by reducing eye strain, protecting eyes from the harmful effects of blue light and UV light, and boosting vision.  

The extensive use of digital screens, including computers, laptops, mobile phones, and e-readers- has caused several eye problems. Amid the pandemic, online work for office goers and virtual classes for students have only exacerbated digital eye strain, also known as computer vision syndrome. Many individuals experience eye discomfort and vision problems when viewing digital screens for extended periods. SEESTEAD®is a powerful solution to counter these difficulties.

Why SEESTEAD®?

The blend of powerful ingredients in SEESTEAD® provides powerful antioxidants that help protect the eyes from damage by free radicals produced by constant exposure to oxygen and light. 

Every ingredient in SEESTEAD® comes with promising health benefits.

Lutein and Zeaxanthin: 

Lutein and zeaxanthin in SEESTEAD® are carotenoids (plant pigments) with anti-inflammatory properties. They are the only dietary carotenoids concentrated in the eye lens and retina, known as macular pigments. They are rich in antioxidants and can absorb incoming blue light.

Bilberry Extract: 

It is rich in antioxidants that protect the retina and improve visual function.

Grape Seed Extract:

It is made from crushed seeds of grapes, which are a valuable source of antioxidants and have antimicrobial properties. Grape seed extract delays cataract formation and progression, improves visual acuity, reduces swelling caused by injury, and helps fight eye disease caused by diabetes.

Beetroot Extract: 

Beetroots are an excellent source of essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants and contain bioactive compounds- betalains that help fight oxidative stress. Beetroot can help reduce the risk of early-stage age-related macular degeneration (AMD) that causes vision loss. 

Vitamin B1: 

Studies show Vitamin B1 supplementation can reduce cataract development and may reduce the development of diabetic retinopathy, an eye condition that occurs in people with diabetes and can cause blindness.

Vitamin B2:

Vitamin B2 protects glutathione, a vital antioxidant for the eye.

Vitamin B3: 

Research suggests vitamin B3 helps protect retinal cells from damage that can cause blindness and glaucoma.

Vitamin B6: 

Vitamin B6 helps prevent age-related macular degeneration that commonly affects older adults.

Vitamin B12: 

Vitamin B12 deficiency damages the optic nerve, disrupting nervous signals that travel from the eye to the brain and impairing vision. Hence, including a vitamin B12 supplement is a must for healthy eyes.

Vitamin C: 

It is a rich source of antioxidants that lessen the risk of developing cataracts. When combined with other nutrients, vitamin C slows the progression of age-related macular degeneration and visual acuity loss and supports the health of eye blood vessels.

N-Acetyl D-Glucosamine: 

It is a natural sugar that helps create hyaluronic acid, which helps lubricate and moisturise the eyes.

Taurine: 

It is the most plentiful amino acid in the retina that helps protect the eyes from retinal degeneration. Studies show that reduced amounts of taurine may play a role in eye disorders, such as glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy.

Selenium: 

Selenium is an essential trace element that protects the eyes from cataracts and macular degeneration.

Health Benefits of SEESTEAD®:

Prevents Damage to Eyes From Blue Light: 

The retina is particularly vulnerable to blue light from mobile phones, tablets, and laptop screens. Lutein and zeaxanthin, popularly known as eye vitamins, are scientifically proven to protect the eyes against damage by harmful blue light and help reduce eye strain, retinal macular degeneration, blurry vision, and cataracts.

Reduces Eye Strain and Fatigue: 

Nutrients vitamins C and B12, lutein, and zeaxanthin help reduce eye fatigue after prolonged screen time.

Supports Healthy Eyes: 

Bilberry extract and beetroot powder in SEESTEAD® are rich in anthocyanins that help maintain eye health. Anthocyanins are antioxidants found in purple fruits and vegetables.

Promotes Eye Moisturising and Soothes Dry Eyes: 

After a long day, you may often find your eyes strained and tired- SEESTEAD® helps soothe and moisturise tired eyes and alleviates signs of discomfort. The formula is fortified with zeaxanthin and N-acetyl glucosamine, a precursor to hyaluronic acid, which lubricates the eyes.

Provides Vital Eye Nutrients: 

Nutrients lutein, zeaxanthin, bilberry, N-acetylglucosamine, beetroot, vitamin C, taurine, selenium, B-vitamins are essential for eye health.  

High Bioavailability: 

The nutrients in SEESTEAD® are highly bioavailable and perfect for improving eye health, protecting them from damage.  

Improves Visual Acuity: 

Vitamin B12 is essential for improving visual acuity- its deficiency causes blurred vision. 

Defence Against Age-Related Eye Diseases: 

The anthocyanins in SEESTEAD® help boost low-light vision and protect the eye against age-related eye disorders.

Helps Reduce Vision-Related Headache:  

Eye strain can induce headaches- eye-protective nutrients in SEESTEAD®, including lutein, zeaxanthin, bilberry, N-acetylglucosamine, beetroot, and vitamin C, can help reduce vision-related headaches. 

Who should consume SEESTEAD®? 

Office goers, students, and everyone exposed to blue light can take SEESTEAD®. In individuals who complain of vision-related headaches, eye strain, and eye dryness, regular use of SEESTEAD® can be beneficial.

1. What is blue light, and how does it affect your eyes?

Blue light is visible light of wavelength ranging from 400 to 500 nm.This makes it one of the shortest and high-energy wavelengths.Because it is shorter, blue light flickers more easily, causing eyestrain, headaches, physical and mental fatigue after prolonged exposure. The cornea and lens are unable to protect the eye from blue light, causing digital eye strain and macular degeneration.

2. What are the sources of blue light?

The sun is a natural source of blue light, while artificial sources include digital screens (TVs, computers, laptops, smartphones, tablets), electronic devices and LEDs, and fluorescent lighting.

3. Which nutrients are best for eye health?

Lutein and zeaxanthin are known as “eye nutrients” - a category of carotenoids (plant pigments). They protect the eyes against harmful UV rays or blue rays from computers, mobile phones, etc. Additionally, they also give protection against retinal macular degeneration, blurry vision, or cataract. SEESTEAD® is enriched with these two powerful ingredients to protect our eyes.

4. What is the role of Bilberry in SEESTEAD®? How does it improve eye health?

Bilberry is a plant that comes from the same family as blueberry. It is rich in anthocyanosides (blue-red pigments in berries) that help counter oxidative stress in the retina, reduce inflammation in the eye tissues, and support blood circulation and integrity of fine capillaries in the eye.

5. What is the role of NAG in SEESTEAD®? How does it affect eye health?

N-acetyl glucosamine (NAG) is the building block for hyaluronic acid,Recent studies indicate that NAG present in the outer protective layer of the retina is essential for the maintenance of healthy vision, helps to lubricate the eyes, and protects against age-related eye disorders.

6. What are the contraindications for using SEESTEAD®?

It is advisable to consult your physician before taking supplements if you are pregnant, lactating, or suspect any medical condition.

7. Should SEESTEAD® be consumed on an empty stomach or with food?

Do not take it on an empty stomach or exceed the dosage recommended. For best absorption, consume with a meal.

8. Can I take SEESTEAD® if I am using eye drops as recommended by a doctor?

Yes, SEESTEAD® can be consumed even if any eye drops are being administered for the treatment of various eye conditions.

9. Who can take SEESTEAD®?

SEESTEAD® can be taken by anyone who wants to boost his/her vision or by people who are at risk of developing retinal damage due to overexposure to blue light emitted by electronic gadgets.

10. Can diabetic patients take SEESTEAD®?

SEESTEAD® does not spike blood sugar levels on consumption hence can be easily taken by diabetics.SEESTEAD® contains ingredients like Grape seed Extract,Taurine and Vitamin B1 which play role in reducing the development of glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy.
