Health Condition/Vision Formulas

Features and benefits Standardised potency, containing 6.25 mg of anthocyanosides Anthocyanosides have been shown to exhibit antioxidant properties and to assist in capillary function and integrity How it works The actions of Bilberry are primarily due to its content of flavonoid compounds known as anthocyanosides, and research has centred on these compounds. The antioxidant activity of the herb is of interest for those eye conditions that are related to free radical damage, where they may offer some protection. Bilberry also has the ability to normalise capillary permeability and may be protective against eye conditions of circulatory origin and other varicose conditions generally. Other indications for the herb include improved night vision. Bilberry may also be of benefit for those performing fine detail work, or having a heavy demand on the visual process eg: airline pilots, students, computer terminal operators, and night drivers. It is presumed that its action in these circumstances relates to its ability to help maintain rhodopsin stores which may be depleted during periods of extended visual work. Dosage Adults - Take 1 tablet 2 to 4 times daily, or as professionally prescribed. Children (under 0 years) - For children under 12 years - only as professionally prescribed. Active Ingredients Per Tablet Vaccinium myrtillus (Bilberry) extract equivalent to fresh fruit (standardised to contain anthocyanosides 6.25mg) 2.5 g (2500mg)

Macu-Vision $15.99 $22.99

Features and benefits Provides nutrients important to the macular region, the central part of the retina Based on the clinically trialled AREDS formula* Every product sold supports the MD Foundation *The AREDS research studied eye health in 3553 people. To improve the formula betacarotene has been removed and synthetic vitamin E has been replaced with natural vitamin E. How it works Antioxidants act as ‘free-radical scavengers’. Free radicals are common in the body, arising through a variety of mechanisms. Many of these free radicals are dealt with by the body’s own free radical, antioxidant defences . Some free radicals however escape these defences, and cause cellular damage. Research suggests that accumulation of free radical cellular damage can result in degenerative conditions. The antioxidants zinc and vitamins C and E play a significant role in defending against free radical damage in the macular region of the retina and lens of the eye. Dosage Adults - Take 1 tablet daily with main meal, or as professionally prescribed. Not recommended for children under 12 years of age. Active Ingredients Per Tablet Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) 250 mg Natural Vitamin E (d-alpha tocopheryl acid succinate 165 mg) 200 IU Zinc oxide (Zinc 40 mg) 49.8 mg Cupric oxide (Copper 1 mg) 1.3 mg

Lutein-Vision $26.99 $34.99

Features and benefits Provides protection to the macular region of the eye from harmful blue light damage Contains fish oil Convenient once a day dosage A percentage of the sales from Lutein-Vision™ supports macular health initiatives. How it works Lutein and zeaxanthin are the only carotenoids found in the human eye. The highest concentration is found in the macula but they are also present in the lens. In the macula, lutein and zeaxanthin form a layer of yellow pigments (the macular pigments), which serves as an effective natural filter of the most damaging light (near-to-UV blue light) that could reach the retina. In addition to absorbing potentially harmful light, lutein and zeaxanthin also function as antioxidants and may help retard age-related visual loss by decreasing the life-long cumulative effects of oxidative damage to the retina and lens. Recent research revealed that a phototoxic (causing light induced damage) compound called A2E produced by blue light in the process of vision induces cell death in the retina, and that lutein and zeaxanthin act like “tailor-made” substances to block that effect. Blackmores Lutein-Vision™ contains both lutein and zeaxanthin from marigolds, and they are in the more bioavailable form of natural esters. Supplements containing natural lutein and zeaxanthin esters have been shown in numerous human trials to increase the density of the macular pigments. Lutein-Vision™ also contains selenium in a highly bioavailable compound called selenomethionine (the form in which the human body stores selenium). Selenium has an important antioxidant function in the eye as part of an antioxidant enzyme called glutathione peroxidase (GSH). GSH has an important role in preserving the clarity of the lens and preserving healthy eye function. Dosage Adults - Take 1 capsule daily with a meal, or as professionally prescribed. Children (under 15 years) - Not suitable for use by children under 15 years of age
