Eye Health (formerly Skin & Eye Formula)
Cooper Complete® Skin&Eye Formula has been formulated to provide key nutrients clinically proven to promote healthy skin and eyes. Based on the latest scientific literature, Cooper Complete Skin & Eye Formula contains FloraGlo® Lutein, quercetin, l-cysteine and bilberry.
Since our eyes are so metabolically active, proper nutrition is vital to help maintain proper vision. As we age, cataracts, age-related macular degeneration and dry eyes become issues for many. Lutein is an antioxidant that may protect the macula tissue from destructive oxidation reactions by quenching free radicals. Lutein also filters high-energy blue light that can damage the macula and skin.
Skin & Eye Formula is suggested for adults. The recommended serving is two tablets per day taken with a meal. One bottle contains a two-month supply of 120 tablets.
(Please Note: This product contains skin and eye nutrients only, and is not a comprehensive daily multivitamin. Please take in conjunction with the multivitamin of your choice and Advanced Omega-3.)

Frequently Asked Questions:
Why is Cooper Complete Skin & Eye Formula beneficial for the skin?
Skin is the largest organ of the human body. Along with our eyes, it is the only organ constantly exposed to the environment. Skin is “assaulted” by light (especially ultraviolet and visible wavelengths) and environmental pollutants. Such exposure can create cell-damaging free radicals within skin.
Two particular studies suggest that the oral supplementation of lutein may protect the skin from the damage induced by UVB radiation by inhibiting DNA damage and diminishing its inflammatory effects. Furthermore, the data indicate that taking lutein may have the potential to prevent UVB-induced skin cancer, at least in the animal model evaluated.
Data from two other studies demonstrate that dietary supplementation with lutein may inhibit the cutaneous inflammatory response and the local immunosuppressive response commonly seen following exposure to ultraviolet light.
Research has also suggested erythema (redness) resulting from UV radiation was significantly reduced after eight weeks of supplementation with a carotenoid mixture that included lutein.
What is bilberry?
Bilberry – popularly found in Europe in jams, cobblers and pies – is a blue-black berry useful for maintaining healthy vision, and reducing poor night vision, cataracts and AMD.
What is lutein?
Lutein is an antioxidant found in green vegetables such as spinach, kale and collard greens. In our bodies, lutein is located within the eyes (including the macula, lens and retina), skin, blood serum and other tissues. While heavily concentrated in the center of the retina, in the region of maximum visual sensitivity known as the macula, lutein seems to behave as a natural sunshade for the eye. It protects the sensitive tissues of the retina against excess amounts of potential sunlight damage. Research suggests that lutein appears to filter harmful light waves along with shielding the lens of the eye from light damage.
Dietary intake may reduce the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration, a leading causes of blindness among older Americans. Recent research also indicates that lutein may protect the eyes from glaucoma. Lutein filters high-energy blue light that can damage the macula of the eye and skin cells. Lutein is also thought to protect the macula tissue from destructive oxidation reactions by quenching free radicals.
What is quercetin?
Quercetin – naturally found in apples, onions and black tea – blocks a sugar enzyme that may contribute to cataract formation. Both lutein and quercetin may reduce the negative effects of UV rays, particularly the more dangerous UVB rays. In addition, lutein absorbs longer-wavelength blue light, which is a source of cell damage in the skin.
