Optimal Vision Formula

Optimal antioxidant vision formula with lutein, lycopene, bilberry, beta carotene and zinc offers a natural alternative for cataracts and macular degeneration prevention. The carotenoids lutein and lycopene also help reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer.

Do you avoid driving at night? Are you worried about getting cataracts or macular degeneration? We all worry about failing eyesight as we get older. But new scientific research suggests you don't have to worry anymore. It is possible to hold on to excellent vision and healthy eyes well into your 60s, 70s, and 80s. Many scientists from the top labs around the country agree that your vision doesn't have to deteriorate with age. It is possible that you can actually prevent and even reverse age-related vision loss by adding eye vitamins and antioxidants to your diet.

And now-you can protect your vision for years to come with a powerful supplement called Optimal Vision Formula.

This formula contains key nutrients that are said to:

Promote strong central vision
Improve focus-well into old age
Strengthen night vision
Block harmful UV and free-radical damage

Many scientists believe age-related vision loss is really caused by UV rays, pollution, and nutritional deficiencies.

Scientists now say that most vision loss isn't just an inevitable part of the aging process. On the contrary, your eyes are perfectly capable of maintaining good vision well into your 60s, 70s, 80s and beyond, provided you take the right eye vitamins and antioxidants! But few of us hold on to perfect eyesight beyond middle age.

Here's why...
From the time we are born, we're bombarded by harmful UV rays and environmental toxins that cause free radical damage to our eyes. Over a lifetime, circulation slows, tissues break down, eye muscles weaken, and the retina deteriorates. To add insult to injury, most of us don't get enough of the nutrients that can protect against this kind of damage.

The good news is you can block and even reverse free radical damage (the number one cause of age-related vision loss) by supplementing with powerful antioxidants and eye vitamins.

It's called Advanced Vision Formula. It starts by providing 6 times as much Lutein as most of us take in every day. Lycopene, a potent antioxidant, maximizes the powerful effects of Lutein even further. Then these are combined with well-known eyesight-building nutrients like bilberry. we added a unique combination of critical nutraceuticals, eye vitamins and minerals. This vision formula was specially designed to help you:

Reduce risk of central vision loss
Improve nearsightedness
Strengthen night vision
Improve cloudy or blurred vision
Block harmful UV and free-radical damage

Lutein, Lycopene, Quercetin, Taurine, Bilberry, Ginkgo, Beta Carotene are the primary antioxidants that prevent and slow down the progression of eye disease. The carotenoids lutein and lycopene also reduce the risk of heart disease and cancer.

High doses of antioxidant vitamins plus the mineral zinc can slow or even prevent vision loss in people with macular degeneration, an age-related eye ailment that affects more than 8 million Americans, a government study found.

According to Dr. Paul Sieving, director of the National Eye Institute, high doses of antioxidants and zinc can slow or even prevent vision loss in people with macular degenereation, the first effective treatment for people with non-advanced stages of the disease.

Hundreds of thousands of people could benefit from vitamin supplements shown to help prevent macular degeneration, a condition that is the leading cause of blindness from age 65, a study reported.

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions in Baltimore tried to estimate how many people in the United States alone would benefit from increasing supplement use. They concluded there are 8 million Americans at least 55 years old thought to be at high risk for the problem. If all the people at risk took the supplements used in the earlier study, more than 300,000 of them would avoid advanced macular degeneration and any associated vision loss during the next five years, the study said.

"If even half of the individuals at high risk for (the condition) were identified and compliant with the recommended supplement, it is likely that more than 150,000 individuals would avoid vision loss for some time," said the study published in the November 2003 issue of the Archives of Ophthalmology.

Vision is our most cherished gift, but sadly each year millions of people go blind from diseases such as macular degeneration, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy in spite of traditional treatments provided by their well-meaning eye doctors - opthamologists and optometrists.

While there is no accepted cure for degenerative eye disease, new nutritional research (of which most eye doctors are still unaware) shows that in many cases nutritional intervention is effective slowing, stopping and even reversing what have been considered untreatable eye diseases. Unfortunately, since most eye doctors mistakenly believe nothing can be done to slow their progression, they often don't mention to their patients that they are starting to develop these diseases, and this delay reduces the effectiveness of nutritional therapies.

The Importance of Antioxidants
Everyone is exposed to free radicals that can be detrimental to health and may have a significant influence in making aging less than the healthy and long process it should be. As clinical trials continue on the protective role of the antioxidants in the aging process, research suggests that free radicals have a significant influence on aging, that free radical-mediated damage can be controlled with adequate antioxidant defenses and that optimal intake of antioxidant nutrients may contribute to enhanced quality of life.

Once your vision is gone, it rarely returns, so timely intervention is critical! Those who have gone blind from macular degeneration would pay everything they have to get their vision back, if only they could.

Optimal Vision Formula has the nutrients found to be most efficacious in preventing cancer, macular degeneration, heart disease and other degenerative health conditions.

Try Optimal Vision Formula today. You have nothing to lose - except the fear of failing vision.

Zinc, which has always been associated as an antioxidant that helps to protect the retina, is super- charged when combined with beta-carotene derived from vitamins A and C.

Lutein is a carotenoid found in vegetables and fruits. It acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells against the damaging effects of free radicals. Lutein is not made in the body; Lutein must be obtained from food or vitamin supplements. Lutein is found in large amounts in flowers and green, leafy vegetables. Research indicates that because of its antioxidant properties, Lutein consumption may play a role in maintaining the health of the eye lens, retina, macula, and optical nerves.

Bilberry dates back many years. It received much recognition during the Second World War when British RAF Pilots used Bilberry jam to help increase their night vision. It is said to have been used to reduce eye irritation and fatigue, nearsightedness, night blindness and increased ocular circulation.

Copper is used to help balance the zinc and to add more antioxidants to the formula.

Schisandra is found in northern and northeast China, adjoining regions of Russia and Korea. The fully ripe, sun dried fruit is used medicinally for a variety of medical conditions. It will assist in relieving the eye of dryness, eyestrain, tiredness and blurry vision.

Beta-Carotene has been proven in reliable information to have definite health benefits and synthetic (chemical) Beta-Carotene has no health benefit. Of course, this is the case with all vitamins; natural works and chemical does not. Beta-Carotene, when mixed in the proper amounts, may be a boost to eye health in preventing night blindness and other eye problems.

Ginkgo is the world�s oldest living tree, a species whose existence can be traced back more than 200 million years! Ginkgo's pharmacological activity is due to its high content of Terpenes, flavonoids, pro-dither, circadian and Ginkgo Heterosides (flaviglycerides). Ginkgo Biloba extract has demonstrated remarkable pharmacological action on different parts of the circulatory and nervous system (arteries, capillaries, veins, and heart), thus better circulation for the eyes. Lycopene is associated with reduced risk of macular degenerative disease.

Taurine is a conditionally-essential amino acid which is not utilized in protein synthesis, but rather is found free or in simple peptides. Taurine has been shown to be essential in certain aspects of mammalian development, and in vitro studies in various species have demonstrated that low levels of taurine are associated with various pathological lesions, including cardiomyopathy, retinal degeneration, and growth retardation, especially if deficiency occurs during development. Clinically, taurine has been used with varying degrees of success in the treatment of a wide variety of conditions, including: cardiovascular diseases, hypercholesterolemia, epilepsy and other seizure disorders, macular degeneration.

Quercetin is a powerful anti-oxidant. It is also a natural anti-histamine and anti-inflammatory.

Zeaxanthin (zee-uh-zan'-thin) plays an essential role in protecting the retina of the eye from the damaging effects of light.
