Rohto V5

Rohto V5 is a functional dietary supplement developed by Rohto Pharmaceutical, specifically formulated to support eye health and maintain visual function, particularly in aging populations. Categorized as a 'Food with Function Claims' (FFC) in Japan, it contains the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin as its primary active ingredients. These compounds are naturally occurring pigments that accumulate in the macula of the eye, where they function by increasing macular pigment optical density. This increase helps protect the retina from oxidative stress and filters harmful blue light, thereby improving contrast sensitivity and supporting the maintenance of clear vision. Launched in 2015, Rohto V5 is administered orally, typically in the form of a softgel capsule.
