OPTIMIZERS: VISIONEX (eye health)

Supports long-term eye health

Defends the eye against environmental stresses

Provides important nutritional aids to eye health

Your eyes your window to the world. Outside of good health itself, nothing is more precious than the gift of sight. Everyone sees differently, in part due to differences in the acuity of our vision and the general state of our health, but we owe it to ourselves to do everything we can to maintain optimal vision.

As we age, there is a general decline in acuity of vision. One of the most important reason for the loss of visual acuity over time is the damage caused by environmental factors. The eyes are not sequestered inside the body as the heart or kidneys are. Except when we are asleep, our eyes are constantly exposed to environmental factors such as air pollution, dryness, and oxidative damage from sunlight.

There are things that we can do retain eye health. Firstly we can reduce the amount of damaging environmental effects we subject our eyes to each day. For example, we can minimize exposure to harsh sunlight with quality sunglasses, especially while driving, and if we work at a computer terminal for long periods, breaks of just a minute or two of looking at distant objects can reduce eye strain significantly.

Secondly, today’s lifestyles and working conditions result in ever-increasing demand for defense from oxidative damage. We can help to retain proper functioning of our eyes by providing nutritional supplementation, especially anitoxidants, to counter free-radical damage.

The comprehensive formulation of VISIONEX is designed to support long-term eye health, especially when combined with preventive measure against exposure of the eyes to harmful environmental influences.

NATURAL MAINTENANCE

What we actually “see” with the eye are the patterns of light that strike the retina, light-sensitive layer of cells at the back of the eye. In the center of the retina is the macula, where the light rays are most highly focused and visual acuity is highest. The macula is especially vulnerable to oxidative damage because it has a high metabolic rate and because the energetic radiation (short wavelength light) focused on it enhances the production of free radicals.

The central portion of the retina contains a yellow pigment called the macular pigment, which helps protect the sensitive receptors in the retina, particlarly from the potentially harmful effects of blue light. Our eyes receive support from the antioxidant carotenoids that make up the macular pigment-lutein and zeaxanthin.

LUTEIN

While the roles lutein and zeaxanthin play in the physiology of the eye are not completely known, the links between lutein and eye health are so strong that several national and regional health organizations have recommended the increase of dietary lutein. Lutein is believed to function in two ways; first as filter of high-energy blue light, and second as an antioxidant that quenches light-induced free radicals and reactive oxygen species.

ZEAXANTHIN

Zeaxantin, a yellow carotenoid, is a modified from of lutin. In the eye, lutein is predominant in the periphery of the macula while the concentration of zeaxanthin is greatest in the very center. This is where conditions most favor the formation of free radicals.

Zeaxantin is thought to be an even more powerful antioxidant than lutin.

WHY VISIONEX?

In addition to lutein and zeaxanthin, the VISIONEX formulation contains these three important nutritional aids to eye health: bilberry extract, vitamin C, and zinc.

The bilberry fruit is rich in antioxidant anthocyanosides and has been shown to help retain healthy capillaries, including those in the eye.

Vitamin C provides additional antioxidant protection, especially to the lens of the eye, where the concentration of vitamin C in the lens is 20 times that found in the blood.

Zinc appears to provide an additive effect to antioxidant in promoting good visual acuity.
