Support Eye-Brain Health in a Screen-Filled World with Nutritional Carotenoids

Formulating for the Digital Age: Addressing Vision and Cognition Together

For today’s children, screens are an inescapable part of life—whether in classrooms, at home, or during social downtime. But this shift toward digital exposure comes with unintended consequences. Parents are increasingly concerned about the impact of excessive screen time on eye health, cognitive development, focus, and emotional well-being.

According to recent insights:

• 88% of parents worry about their child’s eye health¹
• 67% express concern about the cognitive effects of screen time¹

As supplement manufacturers look to serve these wellness-conscious parents, formulating with carotenoids like lutein and zeaxanthin provides a powerful solution.

The Eye-Brain Connection: Why It Matters

The eyes and brain are biologically interconnected, working together to process visual input, facilitate learning, and regulate sleep cycles^.2-4 Unfortunately, blue light exposure from screens may strain the eyes, reduce melatonin levels, and impair cognitive performance and sleep.⁵
