Natural & Alternative Health Products ShopEyes & Vision
Royal Air Force doctors and flight surgeons in World War II discovered that bomber pilots' night vision improved after they ate European blueberries. Clinical research sparked by this discovery found that other natural substances also improved other aspects of sight. Lutein (LOO-teen), a carotenoid found in vegetables and fruits, is associated with reduced incidence of cataracts and age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in older adults. Together with zeaxanthin, lutein may protect the macula from potentially damaging forms of light. Researchers have found a 57% decrease in risk of macular degeneration in adults with intake of lutein. Based on clinical research, a number of formulas have been developed that provide the nutrients necessary for optimal vision health and optimum eye health.

Benfotiamine 150mg - 60 caps
|
Code: 1011
|
|
|
Additional support to block harmful AGE's
Benfotiamine (technically known as s-benzoylthiamine-o-monophosphate) is a synthetic fat-soluble form of thiamine (vitamin B1). It is highly effective at increasing plasma and cellular levels of thiamine diphosphate (TDP). TDP is the metabolically active coenzyme form of B1. Human, animal and cell studies show that benfotiamine reduces formation of advanced glycosylation end products. (AGEs) that crosslink body proteins such as collagen, rendering them structurally and functionally ineffective. AGEs increase with high blood sugar and aging, and are involved in the pathogenesis of many of the diseases of aging, including atherosclerosis, arthritis, and cataracts. |

HA Lozenges - 30 lozenges
|
Code: 1125
|
|
|
Support joint function, arterial health, the eyes, brain & skin
Hyaluronic Acid (HA) can help preserve joint function and arterial health, support the structure of the eyes and brain, fight inflammation and promote youthful looking skin from within. HA Lozenges provide pure, bio-identical, high-molecular weight HA in a pleasant tasting, slow-dissolving lozenge. Oral lozenges are especially promising as delivery systems for hyaluronic acid because they are designed to be absorbed within the oral cavity. Delivery through the oral cavity is easy to administer and has the potential to provide efficient absorption because the oral mucosa is highly vascularized. Additionally, the “active” ingredient can bypass the acidic environment of the stomach, enzymatic activity of the intestine, and move directly into the bloodstream. Thus, the active ingredient can be effective in smaller, more controlled doses. |

Acetyl-L-Carnitine 500mg - 60 caps
|
Code: 4911
|
|
|
Supercharge mental performance & prevent age-related cognitive decline
One of the most effective nutrients in enhancing mental quickness, acetyl-L-carnitine (ALC) has been used for years in Europe. This powerful cousin of L-Carnitine has been dubbed “The King of Carnitines” because of its ability to improve brain function while still providing all the benefits that L-Carnitine is known for. When you add an acetyl group to an amino acid (e.g. N Acetyl Cysteine, Acetyl L-Tyrosine or Acetyl L-Carnitine) you make it more soluble in blood serum so more of the amino gets absorbed. |
