Quick … Name one thing more important than your vision.
If you ask most people which sense they couldn’t stand to lose,
the answer is invariably sight. Trouble is when it comes to the
eyes, most folks mistakenly assume a good diet adequately
addresses their peepers’s nutritional needs.
Why diet alone doesn’t always cut it!
In order to maintain optimal
levels of eye healthy nutrients, you’d have to eat a nearly
impossible amount of vegetables. Green beans, broccoli, brussels
sprouts, and even celery
are indeed good sources of eye-healthy nutrients. But
we’re talking mountains of produce, ideally raw (as cooking
depletes veggies of nutrients), to
fully protect aging
eyes.
Alas, modern farming practices don’t help, as they deplete soils
of essential nutrients and, unfortunately, produce vegetables
and fruits with less nutrition. You see, too many farmers use
cheap inorganic fertilizers, which are not easily absorbed by
plants.
Here’s the bottom line: Unless you buy from a great organic
farmer’s market and eat lots and lots of veggies, your diet
likely lacks enough nutrition to fully protect your sight.
Our members buy in to the need to supplement, as our Top 10
seller,
Eye Protection,
offers proven vision-protecting ingredients: lutein, zeaxanthin,
bilberry, and taurine at an affordable price. Here’s a quick
review of the benefits of these ingredients.
Lutein and zeaxanthin combo protect against and even reverse
macular degeneration!
As many of you know,
lutein and (its related compound) zeaxanthan are
critical nutrients proven to protect against macular
degeneration. Macular degeneration destroys the human macula, a
small area in the posterior eyeball essential to central vision.
The good news is that research has shown lutein supplementation
(at 10mg per day) to
reverse macular degeneration! Lutein and
zeaxanthin also help protect the human retina from free radical
damage.
Alas, Americans rarely ingest more than 1-2 mg of lutein per day
in their diets. The recommended amount for eye health is at
least 6-10 mg per day (or 42-70 mg of lutein per week). If you
want to get a sense of how much lutein you are getting in your
diet, take a quick

Bilberry’s purple fruit improves vision and protects against
glaucoma and cataracts
Bilberry,
with its potent anthocyanosides, is typically known for
improving visual acuity and night vision. However, bilberry also
supports eye health by optimizing oxygen and blood flow,
enhancing collagen production, and scavenging free radicals that
contribute to macular degeneration, glaucoma and cataracts. Yeah
for this botanical known as the European blueberry or
huckleberry!
Taurine is critical to human retina as well as feline vision!
Taurine is an amino acid involved in all stages of development
of the visual system. Taurine is required in high amounts in the
human retina as well as for highly-specialized feline vision,
which allows for visual acuity in dim and changing light
patterns.
