Eye Health - Macular Degeneration and other eye conditions

New Focus Lutein Spray

Lutein is known as ‘nature’s sunglasses’. It shields the eye from the damaging blue wavelengths of light that increase the risk of macular degeneration. Blue light occurs not only in sunlight but also fluorescent light, computer screens, and welding equipment. Considerable research shows lutein benefits macular degeneration. It also protects the inner eye from ultra-violet light, which contributes to cataracts.

By far the best form of lutein, a high percentage is rapidly absorbed under the tongue. Contains 10mg lutein per daily dose, plus zeaxanthin, taurine, bilberry extract and ginkgo.

Smokers and diabetics tend to have low levels of carotenoids. Smokers are NOT advised to take beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is safe in pregnancy, although vitamin A is not.

A complete nutritional formula for the health of your eyes, brain and body. In addition to the essential carotenoids Lutein and Zeaxanthin, MaxiFocus contains a full range of essential vitamins and minerals. The sublingual formula ensures the most effective absorbency, even in those with digestive tract problems. 9 times improved absorption compared to tables and capsules.

Smokers and diabetics tend to have low levels of carotenoids. Smokers are NOT advised to take beta-carotene. Beta-carotene is safe in pregnancy, although vitamin A is not.

Taurine Spray

For total support of vision and eye care health. This amino acid from protein, found in high levels in the retina, is thought to protect against both ultraviolet light and toxic substances.

Bio-Xanthin, Natural Astaxanthin

Recent research has shown that there are only four carotenoids that are found in the retina, these are lutein, zeaxanthin, canthaxanthin and astaxanthin, indicating they are capable of crossing the blood/brain barrier. They are thought to prevent oxidative damage to the retina and improve eye health.

Of these four Astaxanthin is by far the most powerful, being up to fifty times more potent than any other carotenoid anti-oxidant and if taken regularly may greatly improve eye health.

Viridian Carotenoids including Lutein

Carotenoids are substances found in highly-coloured fruits and vegetables like carrots, peppers and tomatoes. They and include alpha- and beta-carotene, lutein, lycopene, zeaxanthin, and cryptoxanthin. Beta-carotene is a precursor for vitamin A. They protect the eye from damage by free radicals, helping reduce the risk of macular degeneration and cataract. They are needed to form the visual pigments called rhodopsins. Carotenoids also benefit circulation, the immune system, and skin health including acne.

Viridian Grape Seed Extract / Pine Bark Extract (Pycnogenol)

These very similar extracts are rich sources of flavonoids (compounds found in plants) called Proanthocyanidins or OPCs. Like carotenoids, they are powerful anti-oxidants, protecting blood vessels, and eye tissue, heart, brain, and all connective tissue from damage. They have the additional advantage of reinforcing the strength of blood vessels. In studies, these extracts produced significant improvement, in healthyeyes, in visual performance in both glare, and darkness. They can benefit macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, cataracts and capillary fragility. Pycnogenol is a patented form of Pine bark extract.

Viridian Vitamin C

In parts of Europe and Asia, vitamin C is considered part of routine treatment for glaucoma. It lowers eye pressure through a combination of decreasing fluid production and improving the outflow of aqueous humor. It also improves collagen metabolism, which may be one of the underlying reasons for the development of glaucoma. In one study, a single dose of Vitamin C improved intra-ocular pressure for up to 8 hours.

The normal healthy lens of the eye contains a higher level of vitamin C that any other organ of the body except the adrenal glands. Studies have shown a decreased level of vitamin C in the aqueous humour as well as in the overall body when cataracts are forming. Vitamin C has also been shown to control sugar imbalances that often play a role in cataract formation.

Vitamin C reduces the risk of diabetic retinopathy by inhibiting the accumulation of sorbitol. 500mg Vit. C has been shown to raise Glutathione levels by 50% - Glutathione is a particularly important protective anti-oxidant for the eye. Glutathione levels are important in cataract, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and many ageing processes.

Vitamin C helps maintain and repair a healthy cornea and is of course necessary for many other processes in the body.

Viridian Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA)

A vitamin-like substance that is gaining popularity in anti-ageing supplements. It is a potent anti-oxidant and also enhances the effect of other anti-oxidants. ALA helps maintain levels of Glutathione, an important anti-oxidant in the eye. Glutathione levels are important in cataract, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and many ageing processes. In one glaucoma study, eyesight and fluid release improved after just 1 month taking 150mg ALA.

ALA helps all conditions due to increased insulin or abnormal sugar metabolism, including diabetes. It is beneficial for the heart, arteries and brain, and helps remove toxic heavy metals from the body.
ALA works well with selenium and other trace minerals.

Vitamin B2 - Riboflavin

Riboflavin, ie. vitamin B2, helps the eyes by boosting Glutathione levels. Glutathione is an important antioxidant for the eye and is made in our bodies when the right nutrients are present. Glutathione levels are important in cataract, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and many ageing processes.
Vitamin B2 is also helpful for migraines, brain health and energy production. It should be taken as part of a B complex. B vitamins are generally involved in nerve health and energy production, and are essential to reduce our levels of homocysteine, a toxic amino acid implicated in heart disease and Alzheimer’s disease.
Some B vitamins are depleted by alcohol, the drug metformin, or oral contraceptives, and all are deficient in processed and refined foods, so supplements can be useful.
