Ildong Pharmaceutical Launches Two New "Megalutein" Eye Health Supplements
Ildong Pharmaceutical announced on July 27 that it has launched two new products in its eye health supplement series, "Megalutein," sold at the health functional food section of pharmacies.
"Megalutein" is a health functional food focused on a compound extract of lutein and zeaxanthin, which may help maintain macular pigment density that can decrease with aging, and support relief for dry eyes with its dual-functional ingredients.
The new lineup consists of "Megalutein Pro," aimed at reducing eye fatigue, and "Megalutein Omega," designed to improve dry eyes. The company has differentiated product attributes such as functional ingredients so that customers can select products according to their eye health conditions and specific needs.
"Megalutein Pro" contains a compound extract of lutein and zeaxanthin for maintaining macular pigment density, and also includes Haematococcus extract (astaxanthin), which can help relieve eye fatigue. This ingredient is present at the maximum daily intake of 12 mg per capsule, in line with the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety guidelines. It also contains vitamin A—which is needed for dark adaptation and the maintenance and formation of skin and mucous membranes—vitamin C and vitamin E, essential for protecting cells from oxidative stress, and zinc, which is necessary for normal immune function and cell division.
"Megalutein Omega" features, in addition to the compound extract of lutein and zeaxanthin for maintaining macular pigment density, omega-3 in rTG (re-esterified triglyceride) form—extracted using a supercritical method—at 600 mg per capsule to help improve dry eyes. It also includes vitamin A, vitamin E, and zinc, as well as vitamin B1 for carbohydrate and energy metabolism, vitamin B2 for energy production within the body, and selenium for protecting cells from harmful oxidation.
