Rokit Healthcare (CEO Seokhwan Yoo), a biohealthcare company, announced on the 26th that its subsidiary, Rokit America, a US-based anti-aging research and development company, has launched an eye supplement called 'EYE CARE' to prevent eye aging.
According to the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) National Eye Institute, our eyes are born like a multifocal camera, but by the age of 40, the range of vision decreases. Recently, with the increased use of smartphones and electronic devices, eye fatigue has accelerated, causing problems such as increased intraocular pressure, highlighting the importance of eye health. In a 2020 survey conducted by the Korea Health Functional Food Association targeting 3,000 men and women in Korea, 'eye health' was selected as the number one health concern.
Rokit America also conducted a survey last year titled 'I am also the protagonist of health food development! 3rd term' regarding eye health. A company representative explained, “Based on the survey results, our researchers including doctors and pharmacists optimally combined ingredients tailored to consumers' needs to develop EYE CARE. The product was planned with an optimal ingredient composition, including patented substances related to eye nutrition, based on previously researched and published papers.”
EYE CARE combines bilberry extract and Pycnogenol to enhance synergy for smooth retinal blood flow and intraocular pressure relief. The combined use of Pycnogenol and lutein is also expected to provide antioxidant effects. Lastly, lutein and zeaxanthin are blended in an optimal ratio to enhance macular protection. Additionally, vitamins A, C, and zinc, which help protect the eyes, are used as auxiliary ingredients to aid not only vision but also dry eyes. The product is taken once daily with two capsules and water.
Located in California, Rokit America is a specialized anti-aging company that researches and develops anti-aging health supplements. It is a subsidiary of Rokit Healthcare, which has realized ultra-personalized customized organ regeneration through the fusion of artificial intelligence and bioprinting bio-technology.
Meanwhile, the company has upgraded its anti-aging lineup with the release of EYE CARE, following its previous products NMN, FISETIN, and STRESS CARE.
