Visual Eyes™
Multinutrient Complex with Bilberry, Lipoic Acid and Lutein
Antioxidant Defense: Fat Soluble
Eye tissue, which is very delicate and rich in fatty acids, is particularly prone to the effect of free radicals. Thus, fat-soluble antioxidants, which can neutralize free radicals, provide protection for the eye.
alpha-Lipoic Acid, Lutein, Vitamins A and E, Beta Carotene
Antioxidant Defense: Water Soluble
The eye also has aqueous tissue that is better protected by water-soluble antioxidants, particularly Plantioxidant™ bioflavonoids. Bilberry and grape seed extract may stabilize circulation to the eye's network of tiny blood vessels. Quercetin may inhibit the enzyme, aldose reductase, which is associated with increased fluid in the eye. High levels of vitamin C in the eye may provide antioxidant protection to the lens, cornea, and retina.
Bilberry, N-Acetyl Cysteine, Ginkgo Biloba, Grape Seed, alpha-Lipoic Acid, Quercetin, Selenium, Zinc, Vitamin C
Macular Protection
Vision involves light being focused through the lens onto the retina. The macula, or center of the retina, receives the most light. However, light is a powerful free radical generator. When it strikes the fatty acids of the macular region, oxidation may occur. Lutein, a potent antioxidant concentrated in the macula, helps maintain the integrity of the macula and of the blood vessels that supply the macular region.
Bilberry, Ginkgo Biloba, Lutein
Brain and Nerves
Brain and nerve cells and their function can be affected by a toxic and stressful environment and the effect of aging. Optimal signal transmission within the eye's nerve network is crucial for proper eye function.
Bilberry, Ginkgo Biloba, Grape Seed, alpha-Lipoic Acid, Lutein, Taurine, Vitamins A, B-2, B-3 (Inositol Hexanicotinate), and C, Inositol (Inositol Hexanicotinate)
Liver and Glutathione Generation
The liver is critical in a polluted world. It cleanses, detoxifies, and is the major organ of metabolism. N-acetyl cysteine is the rate-limiting precursor for glutathione production in the liver. Glutathione is an important free radical scavenger, which helps prevent oxidation in cell membranes of the eyes.
N-Acetyl Cysteine, alpha-Lipoic Acid, Copper, Selenium, Zinc, Vitamins B-2 and C, Inositol
Heart and Circulation
Circulation to the small blood vessels that nourish the eye is of key importance. This is particularly relevant to the vessels that supply the macula (central) area of the retina, where visual perception is most acute.
