| Chinese Herbs Direct's Advanced Formula Vision Support (formerly Advanced Formula Eye Support) offers a full range of antioxidant nutrients which may aid in maintaining visual functions. This proprietary herbal formula contains the following biologically active ingredients which are associated with overall eye support and vision health: Lutein, a carotenoid found in dark green leafy vegetables, is a dominant pigment in the macular region of the eye. According to a study published in the April 2004 edition of Optometry: The Journal of the American Optometric Association, the lutein antioxidant supplementation trial (LAST) concluded that visual function of study participants with symptoms of age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) improved with the intake of lutein alone or lutein together with other nutrients such as antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. Beta-Carotene is another antioxidant carotenoid found naturally in dark green and orange-yellow vegetables and fruit. Unlike Lutein, Beta-carotene can be converted to Vitamin A as needed by the body. Vitamin A is necessary for proper eye function and low antioxidant levels may contribute to cataract formation. Bilberry and Green Tea extracts contain compounds called Polyphenols and Anthocyanidins. These antioxidant compounds protect blood vessels that supply needed blood flow to the eyes and peripheral tissues. Vitamins C and E are antioxidants that inhibit free radical damage and are used by the body to prevent some of the degenerative patterns related to the aging process. Vitamin C may protect the eye from UV rays that can damage the lens. This kind of oxidative damage may contribute to the formation of cataracts. Selenium and Zinc are minerals that help the body to produce the important antioxidants Glutathione and SOD, which protect eye tissues from oxidative damage. Packaging: 60 Capsules
