Component Properties

Strix® forte

The combined effect of blueberry extract and lutein, which are part of Strix® forte, helps strengthen blood vessels, improve visual acuity, eliminate symptoms of visual fatigue, and slow down age-related changes in eye tissues.

In combination, vitamins A and E, selenium and zinc provide the necessary protection of visual structures from free radicals and help slow down the aging process in eye tissues.

Vitamin A is considered essential for vision; its deficiency causes the development of night blindness.

Zinc effectively protects the retina and helps prevent cataracts.

Strix® Kids

The combined effect of blueberry extract and beta-carotene helps strengthen the walls of blood vessels in the eye tissue, improve visual acuity, and prevent visual fatigue.

Blueberry extract stimulates the production of the visual pigment of the retina - rhodopsin and improves visual functions.

Beta-carotene increases the resistance of eye tissue to infections, having an immunostimulating effect.

A complex of antioxidants - vitamins C and E, as well as selenium and zinc - helps protect vision from the effects of free radicals.

Vitamin C supplies energy to the eye tissues and the body as a whole, enhances the antioxidant effect of selenium and vitamin E.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

Pharmacodynamics

The drug stimulates the synthesis of visual pigment, improves blood supply to the retina, which helps to increase visual acuity, especially in the dark and in low light conditions.

anthocyanosides have an antioxidant effect, stabilize the exchange of phospholipids in cell membranes, strengthen the matrix of the connective tissue of the retinal capillaries (they become strong), and improve the trophism of the retina.

The action of the drug is complemented by β-carotene , which is also an antioxidant . Stimulates local immunity , helps restore visual pigment, and prevents eye drying. The overall effect on the body is to normalize skin function and increase the body's antitumor resistance.

Reviews about Strix

The results of many years of research by European scientists prove that to prevent visual impairment during prolonged exercise (reading, computer work), it is necessary to use drugs with antioxidant and metabolic activity. These are Strix vitamins for the eyes, registered as a biological food additive.

For an adult, the level of anthocyanin is 50-150 mg per day. One tablet of Strix contains 16.1 mg of anthocyanins , two tablets contain 32.2 mg, and this amount is enough to prevent eye diseases. Reviews about Strix are positive. Everyone notes the high quality of vitamins and the opportunity to choose a drug suitable for themselves and all family members from the Strix line (for children, forte, manager, excellent student, teenager, omega), slightly different in composition depending on age needs and eye strain.

• “... I’m happy with the result, I’ll take a break and then repeat the course”;
• “... Indeed, my eyes began to focus less on the computer, the pain and redness decreased”;
• “... Periodically I give it to my teenage son for 3 months in a row - he has a lot of strain on his eyes”;
• “... I prefer Strix Manager in terms of composition and action, I periodically take them in courses of 2 months”;
• “... I chose Strix Kids for a 5-year-old child because she spends a lot of time fiddling around with the computer and reading. I give it prophylactically.”

Some prefer the complex preparation Vitrum Vision Forte , containing blueberries, minerals, vitamins, zeaxanthin and lutein .

Effect of Strix vitamins

Strix Forte is a systemic tablet product intended for patients with visual impairments or a predisposition to them. When using this drug, the following occurs:

• Antioxidant action.
• Improving blood circulation in the eye structures.
• Protecting the retina from damage.
• Activation of the production of rhodopsin (the most important visual pigment).
• Elimination of dry mucous membrane of the eyeballs.
• Strengthening local immunity.

In patients taking Strix, visual acuity increases and the eyes' adaptation to seeing surrounding objects in the dark is normalized.

The product has a positive effect on the entire body, increasing its antitumor resistance and improving the condition of the skin.

How to take eye vitamins

Vitamins for improving vision, available in tablet or capsule form, are taken with meals. The standard dosage of such drugs is 1–2 tablets (capsules) twice a day. It is necessary to take ophthalmic medications with a sufficient amount of liquid.

Most fortified products do not interact undesirably with other medications. Despite the neutrality of such drugs, the possibility of concurrent use of any medications should be considered with the doctor.

Complexes with blueberries are consumed for a period established by a specialist. The minimum course takes from 2 to 3 weeks. In some cases, vitamins are taken continuously for 3 months. With normal tolerability of the prescribed drug, repeated courses are carried out several times during the year (after the approval of the attending physician).
