VISION FORMULA PLUS – EYE HEALTH NUTRIENTS
with FloraGLO®,
Lutein, Lycopene, Zeaxanthin,
Astaxanthin (LycoRed), Vitamins & Antioxidants
A synergistic blend of nutrients for the support of eye health and vision health.
Your eyes are among the most sensitive and complex organs in the body. The world is a beautiful place when you have good vision! That's why we developed a high quality multi nutritional support for eye and vision health with optimal amounts of lutein, zeaxanthin, astaxanthin and bilberry plus other multiple nutrients to support the macula and lenses and to support their constant exposure to environmental and oxidative stress.
Vision Formula Plus was designed to provide nutritional support for ocular health, nourishing eyes and vision. The nutrients in this comprehensive formulation help support vision and healthy macular function. Now you can help support the maintenance of healthy eyes and vision with one of the most advanced products on the market, the
Vision Formula Plus.
Healthy eyes are a reflection of the rest of the cells and tissues throughout the entire body. That is why
Vitality Products Co. Inc. has developed a superior nutrient formula,
Vision Formula Plus for healthy eyes and the support of vision health.
LUTEIN
FloraGLO® Lutein contains the same lutein naturally found in spinach, kale, collard greens and other green leafy vegetables, as well as eggs. FloraGLO® Lutein (is a natural antioxidant found in marigolds). Studies indicate that daily intakes of 6 mg to 10 mg of lutein is beneficial for promoting eye health and skin health. The benefits of FloraGLO® lutein for eye health are based in part on the antioxidant properties of lutein that provides protective effects against blue light. Lutein quenches free radicals that may lead to oxidative stress that can damage cells in these tissues. Numerous studies link the important eye health benefits of the antioxidant properties of lutein, with reducing age related macular degeneration.
FloraGLO®
lutein is a unique antioxidant that safeguards and supports retinal cells from damaging high-energy blue light and free radicals. Some vision formulas use cheaper forms of lutein called lutein esters. They are extracted from the same source of lutein, but stay in their "ester form", making them hard for the body to absorb.
FloraGLO®
lutein is a free-form lutein that doesn't depend on enzymes to be absorbed. The body directly absorbs it. It's no wonder patented
FloraGLO®
lutein is the same type of lutein used in clinical studies, and that's why we have included it in our special
Vision Formula Plus.
ZEAXANTHIN
Scientific studies provide evidence that zeaxanthin, a strong antioxidant (carotenoid), is very supportive for macular degeneration. Macular pigment is primarily composed of lutein and zeaxanthin and these nutrients may be protective of the retina from damage due to light exposure and oxidative stress. Evidence indicates that the intake of dietary zeaxanthin may increase macular pigment. The macular pigment acts like "sunglasses" by protecting the central sight from damaging light waves. Higher levels of lutein may be supportive of macular health.
ASTAXANTHIN
Like FloraGLO® lutein – astaxanthin from (LycoRed) is another potent carotenoid in the
VISION FORMULA PLUS for the support of eye and vision health. Mounting research shows that vision health may benefit from the support of the full carotenoid family such as zeaxanthin, astaxanthin, lutein, antioxidants and other vision health nutrients.
Astaxanthin (LycoRed) is one of nature's strongest antioxidants which support many important areas in the body. Astaxanthin is a natural pigment produced by microalgae and helps support the body's healthy cells from the damaging effects of free radicals such as pollution and the sun's UV rays. Besides vision health, astaxanthin supports the cardiovascular system, the brain, joint health and skin.
OTHER IMPORTANT NUTRIENTS
VISION FORMULA PLUS supports the health of the eyes and circulation because of the antioxidant nutrients it contains.
Lutein, Zeaxanthin & Asthanathin are antioxidant carotenoids that help support macular health. They support visual acuity and promote the health of the lens, retina, macula and optic nerves. Dark green leafy vegetables are good sources of lutein and zeaxanthin.
-
Beta Carotene, Selenium, Zinc and Vitamin C
are superior antioxidants that help support the retina.
-
Bilberry
contains antioxidants, plant pigments known to support night vision. The evidence for bilberry's benefits as an herb are long, varied, and shown in many clinical trials when it comes to treating eye disorders and maintaining clear vision in healthy individuals. Bilberry anthocyanins regenerate rhodopsin and have been indicated for support of poor night vision, macular degeneration and cataracts.
-
Copper
to balance zinc and for added protection.
-
Grape Seed Extract
has been used extensively in Europe, and is known to be a rich source of flavonoids. Those most valuable of these flavonoids are thought to be the procyanidolic oligomers. These compounds are known to be strong antioxidants, and they are also thought to help support blood flow and to help strengthen blood vessels. Grape Seed extract has been known to support the strength of capillaries and other blood vessels in the eyes, including the entire body.
-
Gingko Biloba Extract
promotes circulation and contains potent free radical scavenging flavonoids.
-
Glycine
an amino acid, plays a key roll in the support of skeletal muscles and tissues.
-
Lycopene
a powerful antioxidant, promotes cardiovascular, prostate and vision health.
-
Quercetin –
quercetin is a phytochemical that is part of the coloring found in the skins of apples and red onions and may have some support of the protection of lens architecture.
-
Alpha Lipoic Acid and Selenium
support the antioxidant glutathione and glutathione peroxidase, which may support the protection of the lens of the eye.
-
Taurine
an amino acid that supports biochemical changes that take place in the aging process. Taurine aids in the clearing of free radical wastes.
-
Bioperine
is a black pepper extract that supports the enhancement of the absorption of nutrients by 30 to 60 percent and assists nutrients to be more effective.
AMERICAN MACULAR DEGENERATION FOUNDATION (AMDF) STATES:
"Zeaxanthin May Decrease Your Risk of Macular Degeneration" by George Torrey Ph.D.
Zeaxanthin (zee-uh-zan-thin) is the dominant component with the central macula.
The macular pigment is highly organized within the retina of the human eye. Studies show that the retina contains two carotenoids, lutein and zeaxanthin, with the greatest concentration at the center. Within the central macula, zeaxanthin is the dominate component, up to 75% of the total, whereas in the peripheral retina, lutein predominates, usually being 67% or greater. Typical carotenoid concentrations within other human tissues are much lower. Data show that the macular pigment increases through dietary supplements. Evidence points to a correlation between macular pigment density and a reduction in the risk for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). ["Analysis of Zeaxanthin Distribution within Individual Human Retinas" by John T. Landrum, Richard A. Bone, Linda L. Moore and Christina M. Gomez, Methods in Enzymology (1999,299:457-467.]
Fruits and vegetables are the most important dietary source of carotenoids. To date, there is no comprehensive information of the separate content of lutein and zeaxanthin in fruits and vegetables. Most analytical systems measure lutein and zeaxanthin together. However, the AMDF states "Eat large quantities of dark green leafy vegetables high in carotenoids, the yellowish pigments that include precursors of Vitamin A. Spinach and collard greens are possibly the most beneficial vegetables in this respect."
