Butterflies Healthcare
Viteyes Digital Blue+ gummies are the latest addition to the Viteyes range of nutritional supplements to help maintain normal vision. Devices and energy-efficient LED lighting are exposing the eyes to more blue light than ever before. The once-a-day chewable gummies contain the macular pigments lutein (20mg) and zeaxanthin (4mg), derived from marigold extract. These carotenoids are not found in the body but synthesised from fruits and green leafy vegetables and utilised by the body, especially the eyes. The natural berry-flavour gummies are coated in blue edible glitter and also contain bilberry, vitamin C and astaxanthin for added benefits. They are available in tubs of 90. Viteyes provides a number of AREDS2-based products, which offer an enhanced combination of vitamins and minerals to help with certain eye issues. Butterflies Healthcare also distributes Eye Care Cosmetics, a makeup and skincare range primarily designed for contact lens wearers and people with sensitive skin or eyes. The award-winning range is the best-selling brand in para-pharmacies in France for eyeliners and mascara and the products are supplied with eye-catching point of sale displays.
