Vision Support

As we age, our vision becomes susceptible to a number of conditions. Sight can be affected by age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), cataracts, glaucoma, and reduced night vision among other conditions. Taking early steps to ensure proper nutrition for the eyes may help prevent or slow the progression of these conditions.

Vitabase Vision Support combines the most effective natural and herbal supplements to support good vision. The eye structure, including the retina, is particularly vulnerable to the damage that can be caused by free radicals. Vision Support includes powerful antioxidants to counteract free radicals. The antioxidants in Grape Seed Extract are called oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs). OPCs have been studied for their effectiveness in treating/preventing glaucoma and slowing the progression of cataracts. Quercetin, another antioxidant, has shown promise of helping protect against the development of ARMD and may inhibit some of the compounds that lead to cataracts.

Lutein, Lycopene, and Vitamin A (beta carotene) are all carotenoids and antioxidants. Lutein helps form the pigment in the retina and may help prevent ARMD and cataracts. Low lycopene levels have been associated with increase risk for ARMD. Bilbery’s positive affect on night vision was discovered by accident during World War II by pilots. Bilbery contains significant concentrations of anthocyanosides which appear to work particularly well on the retina and have been used to treat retinopathy. Bilbery also appears to have some efficacy in counteracting cataracts, glaucoma, and ARMD.

Sight is a precious gift that must be protected. Vision Support provides a strong nutritional foundation for healthy sight.
