Eye Care For You- NEW!

Description

Excellent Source for Excellent Vision

Eye Care Complex is a comprehensive eye supplement, offering all-round support for normal vision (backed by science), including visual fatigue related to screens – essential in today’s modern age. 

This research-based formula includes a range of specific herbs, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients for eye health, including:

The herbs

• Bilberry fruit and pine bark.

Bilberry, pine bark and eye health…

Anthocyanins (also known as anthocyanosides, a type of flavonoid and natural pigment which give the characteristic dark blue colour to bilberries) have been shown to be useful for people with vision problems. Bilberry has been suggested as a treatment for retinopathy (damage to the retina), because anthocyanosides appear to help protect the retina and tend to have a particular affinity for the eye and vascular tissues. Bilberry has also exhibited protective effects against age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts, dry eyes, retinitis pigmentosa, eye fatigue and night vision.*

The nutrients

• Lutein, zeaxanthin and bioflavonoids. 

The vitamins and minerals

• Vitamin C, zinc, manganese, copper, selenium and vitamin E.

NO magnesium stearate in this formula.

Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal vision, normal DNA synthesis, normal acid-base metabolism, normal carbohydrate metabolism, normal cognitive function, normal fertility and reproduction, normal macronutrient metabolism, normal metabolism of fatty acids, normal metabolism of vitamin A, normal protein synthesis, the maintenance of normal bones, the maintenance of normal hair, nails and skin, the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood, the normal function of the immune system, the protection of cells from oxidative stress and it has a role in the process of cell division. 

Selenium contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, the maintenance of normal nails, the normal function of the immune system, normal thyroid function and the protection of cells from oxidative stress. 

Copper contributes to the maintenance of normal connective tissues, normal hair pigmentation, normal skin pigmentation, protection of cells from oxidative stress, normal function of the immune system, normal functioning of the nervous system, normal energy-yielding metabolism and normal iron transport in the body. 

Manganese contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, the maintenance of normal bones, the normal formation of connective tissue and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. 

Vitamin C contributes to maintaining the normal function of the immune system. It also contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin and teeth, normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal functioning of the nervous system, normal psychological function, protection of cells from oxidative stress, the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, the regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E and increases iron absorption. 

Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
