Lutein and zeaxanthin are two carotenoids naturally found in the macula, the central area of the retina responsible for fine vision and detail perception. These pigments act as natural blue-light filters and have antioxidant properties; since the body cannot make them itself, they must come from diet or supplementation. The marigold extract (Tagetes erecta) used in Vilux 24 is a natural, concentrated source of both.

Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) is a berry traditionally associated with visual comfort. Its extract, concentrated 20 times in Vilux 24, is rich in anthocyanins, antioxidant polyphenols recognised in herbal tradition for supporting microcirculation and visual comfort, particularly with eye fatigue linked to screen use.

Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal vision (an EFSA-authorised claim) and takes part in vitamin A metabolism, itself essential for vision; the natural beta-carotene in Vilux 24, a precursor of vitamin A, complements this. Riboflavin (vitamin B2) also contributes to the maintenance of normal vision, while vitamins B1, B3 and B6 support normal function of the nervous system involved in transmitting visual information.

Take 1 capsule a day, in the morning with a meal and a glass of water — taking it with food supports absorption of the fat-soluble carotenoids (lutein, zeaxanthin, beta-carotene). For best effect, follow a 2 to 3 month course, repeatable; a 30-capsule bottle covers one month.

Not recommended for smokers due to the beta-carotene content — seek medical advice. If pregnant, breastfeeding or taking medication, ask a healthcare professional first. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. Keep out of reach of young children. This food supplement does not replace regular eye check-ups and should not replace a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle. Store in a cool, dry place away from light.

What is Vilux 24 and what is it for?

Vilux 24 is a food supplement from the Belgian laboratory Be-Life, designed to support visual comfort and visual acuity, combining bilberry, lutein, zeaxanthin, beta-carotene, vitamins and minerals in one synergistic formula — particularly suited to people exposed to screens or wanting to support long-term eye wellbeing.

How many Vilux 24 capsules should I take a day?

The recommended dose is 1 capsule a day, in the morning with a meal, which supports optimal absorption of the fat-soluble carotenoids. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.

Is Vilux 24 suitable for people who work on screens?

Yes — the lutein and zeaxanthin it contains are natural filters for the blue light emitted by screens, and bilberry extract is traditionally used in herbal medicine for visual comfort with screen-related eye fatigue.

Can Vilux 24 be taken continuously?

It is best taken in 2 to 3 month courses, repeatable after a short break. For personalised advice, ask our team at Herba Barona or your healthcare professional.
