Eye Health Expert Takes SupplySide Why Stage

MORRISTOWN, N.J.Eye expert James Stringham, Ph.D., will present on Lutein For Every Age on the SupplySide West Why stage on Thursday, Nov. 14 in Las Vegas. Stringham will discuss misconceptions surrounding lutein and new research supporting its role in eye health. The discussion is part of OmniActive Health Technologies' new educational campaign, OmniActive's Insights.

The benefits of lutein have long been associated with the senior population and therefore have been traditionally included in formulations marketed to the 50+ demographic. However, studies have shown that lutein is the major carotenoid in breast milk and believed to be a cornerstone in developing healthy vision," Stringham said. Since we are now finding that the benefits of lutein are cumulative, it begs the question: What about all the years in between?"

See Stringham's presentation at the SupplySide Why stage, booth number 28073 at 12 p.m. on Nov. 14. SupplySide Why features dynamic 10-minute presentations by industry innovators and thought leaders.

Dr. Jeffrey Anshel, OD, FAAO, president of the Ocular Nutrition Society (ONS),  will kick off OmniActive's campaign with his presentation "AREDS2 Study Results Update: Examining the Critical Role of Lutein and Zeaxanthin in Maintaining Eye Health" on Wednesday, Nov. 13 at 1 p.m.
