The further a disease progresses the harder it will be to deal with using oral products (whether they are on prescription or natural), so the key to eye health must be prevention.
We know that exercise, good fluid and dietary intake, adequate sleep patterns, low levels of stress and a well chosen lifestyle are all good for our health generally and our eyes as a consequence. This is not enough however to ensure your eyes are protected against disease or hereditary weakness.
Many natural ingredients have a plethora of clinical evidence to support their use and success. Experts worldwide have studied these ingredients and confirm their importance, not only in a treatment formula but also in your daily routine to maintain your eye health.
Here are some key natural ingredients for eye health…
| Lutein and Zeaxantin | 2 essential and powerful antioxidants, highly concentrated in the macula (a retinal area responsible for central vision and high visual acuity) and having excellent benefits in macular degeneration and cataracts. Increased intake of Lutein and Zeaxantin helps to lower risk of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD). Studies conclude high supplementation lowers risk of cataract and minimizes the development of AMRD by more than 20%. |
| Bilberry Extract | Contains bioflavonoids helping to strengthen capillary walls and protecting capillaries from damage. It has powerful antioxidant components that improve blood supply to the eyes, improving visual acuity, near-sightedness and night vision. High levels of tannic acid, cinnamic acids and isoflavones add to its eye benefits. |
| Molybdenum | A trace element found in all tissues. It is a component required for the function of several essential enzymes. Molybdenum is amongst an expert list of 11 essential elements considered vitally important for human health. Deficiency of these elements has shown to result in many pathological conditions, including the development of cataracts. Trials in China prove this mineral supplement has a protective role against lens opacification. |
| Beta-Carotene | Transforms to vitamin A and binds to a protein called opsin. It resides in the rods and cones of the retina (responsible for receiving light and sending this information to the brain to give us vision). It is needed to keep the photoreceptors firing. Lack of beta-carotene results in reduced vision, causing night blindness, visual glare and haze. Trials suggests that ingestion reduces risks of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD). |
| Glucosamine | Important in several structures of the eyes. A sugar needed for vision, shown to favour the photoreceptor layer of the retina. Shown to counter fluid drain swelling, reducing high fluid pressure. |
| N-Acetyl Cysteine | NAC is a powerful form of Cysteine. A powerful antioxidant scavenging free radicals in the eye and guarding against nitric oxide toxicity and reducing oxidant injury. |
| Vitamins B2 and B12 | Helps maintain good vision and healthy skin, and is essential in reducing the aging process. Deficiency may cause eye problems, light sensitivity and blurred vision. Studies show the benefits of supplementation as part of the treatment for and prevention of retinal vascular occlusive disease. |
| L-Carnosine | A naturally occurring di-peptide, diminishing oxidized proteins, preventing them from inducing cellular damage. Beneficial in diabetes, cataracts, in preventing cataract formation and in cross-linking of the eye lens and delaying vision senescence (the aging process in mature individuals). Studies show l-carnosine effective in 100% of primary senile cataract cases and 80% of mature senile cataract cases. |
| Omega 3 Fish Oil | Essential fatty acids, especially DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) known for many health benefits. Research suggests positive influences in preventing AMD, retinitis pigmentosa and cataracts, also showing shorter recovery times from eye conditions. Studies reveal that Eskimos from Greenland have a lower incidence of glaucoma, attributed to their high consumption of Omega 3 fish oil fats, preventing optic nerve damage. |
Individually these ingredients can help aspects of general eye weakness. However, for worthwhile disease prevention or treatment they need combining in specific dosages, together with trace elements such as essential minerals, active enzymes, herbal extracts and co-factors, to provide a powerful formula capable of delivering advanced nutrition to your body.
Xtend-Life has created such a formula that provides amazing results for eye health specifically as well as supplying essential nutrition for overall well-being and increased immune strength.
This formula is called Xtend-Life Total Balance and contains the above and other high potency ingredients to aid restoration and sustain normal organ function. It is the most effective anti-aging supplement program available and is detailed in our recommended natural protocol.
