Eye Formula is a high quality
dietary supplement formulated specifically to support and retain
vision and eye health. It combines key vitamins, minerals,
herbs, flavonoids, carotenoids, antioxidants, and enzymes that
are known, through traditional wisdom and modern science, to
be potentially useful in nourishing and protecting the delicate
and finely tuned mechanism that provides the priceless gift
of sight. Although advancements through science and technology
pertaining to maintaining and promoting healthy eyes have
taken great strides, there is increasing scientific evidence
that nutritional factors may also play an important role. The
nutrients combined in Eye Formula, as well as their historical
and scientific importance, are beneficial to eye health. Eyebright
(Euphrasia officinalis) herb grows wild throughout Bulgaria,
Hungary, the Balkans, and is grown commercially in Europe.
Eyebright is rich in iridoid glycosides, flavonoids, and tannins.
Its common name, “Eyebright”, is derived
from its rich traditional use as nutritional support for the
eyes in external poultices, teas, tinctures, fluid extracts,
and whole herb for dietary use.

Bilberry, a close cousin to blueberry, has long
been widely used in Europe for eye health. Research on bilberry began
based upon the discovery that British pilots noticed and reported
their night vision was improved when they ate bilberry jam prior
to night flights. It turns out that the brightly colored and potent
antioxidant compounds in bilberry fruit and leaves, which are called
anthocyanidins speed the replenishing of rhodopsin, the purple pigment
that specialized nerve cells in the retina use for night vision.
These flavonoids also support the formation of connective tissues
and assist in strengthening the capillaries in the eye, as well as
elsewhere in the body. Anthocyanidins are closely related to the
oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) found in grape seeds and pine
bark.
Eye Formula contains hesperidin, rutin, and quercetin, which are important flavonoids
that help sustain healthy capillaries and blood circulation, as well
as being potent antioxidants. Rutin has been associated with maintaining
healthy pressure levels within the eye. Small amounts of the enzymes
bromelain and papain are included because they enhance the absorption
of flavonoids from one’s diet.
Many of the delicate structures of the eye, such
as the lens and the macula (the region of the retina with the greatest
concentration of light-sensing nerves) are sensitive to free radical
attack. Vitamin C and glutathione (a linkage of amino acids) are
the major antioxidants in the lens of the eye and are components
included in Eye Formula.
Vitamin C helps to preserve vitamin E, whereas vitamin E helps maintain glutathione
in the active form that protects the lens from free radical attack.
Vitamin C levels in the eye naturally decrease with age, and supplementing with
vitamin C helps ensure that adequate levels are maintained.
Riboflavin (vitamin B-2) and Niacinamide (vitamin B-3), as well as the mineral
selenium, are also needed to protect glutathione. Zinc is required
for the function of two enzymes in the retina that are critical for
vision. Therefore, zinc, in addition to selenium, niacinamide, and
vitamin C (in the form of magnesium ascorbate) is provided in Eye
Formula.
Lutein and zeaxanthin, two specific carotenoids recently highlighted
in eye research, are particularly important to eye health. Lutein
is the only carotenoid found both in the lens of the eye and in the
macula, the most sensitive and dense nerve network of the retina.
Eye Formula provides significant amounts (4 mg of each daily) both
lutein and zeaxanthin. Many diets are lacking in lutein and zeaxanthin,
which are most abundant in spinach, kale, collard greens, romaine
lettuce, peas, egg yolks, and leeks.
Both lutein and zeaxanthin have been found to be highly concentrated
in the macula of healthy retinas and appear to neutralize free radicals
generated when ultraviolet light strikes the retina.
Eye Formula also provides 1,250 IU of vitamin A equivalent activity
(called retinol equivalents) per serving. The vitamin A in Eye Formula
comes from a broad spectrum natural carotenoid complex, which also
contains many other non-vitamin A, related carotenoids as well.
Within a few months of use, you'll clearly
feel and see the difference they can make. †
