How nutrients influence it

Every nutrient with a recorded effect on this component, credited to the nutrient that acted rather than the chapter that recorded it. Open a nutrient to see the findings and the conditions they were measured under.

How nutrients reach it in more than one step

Chains of two or more recorded steps that end here, grouped by the nutrient they start from. Each step is a separate finding, so a chain is a route a mechanism could take, not proof that it does.

    **Controlled human night-vision results were negative.** A 15-man crossover trial used 160 mg bilberry extract containing 25% anthocyanosides three times daily for 21 days, with a washout and crossover. Night visual acuity and contrast sensitivity did not improve versus placebo. This constrains that preparation in healthy young men; it is not a finding about all eye diseases. Wartime anecdotes are not substitutes for this comparison. [Muth et al., 2000](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10767671/).
