Lutein

Lutein, as proven through extensive scientific evidence, improves visual performance and treats many eye conditions as well as oxidation-related ailments throughout the body. In regards to the eye, lutein protects the macula by working both as a blue-light shield and in aiding the eye’s resistance to breakdown natural sunlight.

Blueberry

Blueberry is a rich antioxidant that consistently ranks in the top quartile of most common fruits in terms of Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) activity. High in natural dietary fiber and vitamin C, blueberries improve and maintain eye health, and are utilized in treatments to combat cancer and Alzheimer’s disease.

Bilberry

Bilberry is a potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory that benefits vision and women’s health. The fruit’s constituent, anthocyanin, in particular is responsible for the oxidative stress protection of the retina. A near relative of the blueberry, bilberry has been used medicinally for over 900 years.

Phytonutrients

Large-scale human studies show that phytonutrients can prevent the development of cancer, macular degeneration and heart disease. Phytonutrients are anti-oxidant compounds found in colorful fruits, vegetables and other foods. The most common classes of phytonutrients include carotenoids, polypenols, flavonoids and isoflavones.

Foods of Color

Large-scale human studies show that “foods of color,” like tomatoes, blueberries and spinach, can prevent the development of cancer, macular degeneration and heart disease. Scientists believe chemicals, known as phytonutrients, are responsible for color and flavor, which provide health benefits for adults and children due to their unique antioxidant abilities.

Flaxseed (Omega 3)

Flaxseed is an essential fatty acid found in vegetables that benefits heart health and treats inflammatory bowel disease, arthritis and a variety of other conditions. An antioxidant that is rich in alpha-linolenic acid, a flaxseed diet tends to promote good heart health as well as HDL or “good” cholesterol levels.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a protective antioxidant present in each cell and is a preventative against increased cardiovascular disease risk and prostate cancer risk. Vitamin E also is used to treat numerous health conditions that include (but are not limited to): infertility, hot flashes, joint pain, age-related macular degeneration and anemia.

Calcium

Clinical research shows that calcium is an effective treatment for high blood pressure, premenstrual syndrome and bone loss associated with aging. Calcium is also an essential mineral for other cell functions. Most Americans do not get enough calcium in their diet. That’s why experts recommend calcium supplements, especially for women.

Spirulina

Spirulina strengthens the body’s immune system against viruses, tumors and allergic reactions. Spirulina is blue - green algae rich in antioxidants, vitamins and other nutrients. Spirulina can also increase energy and is a high source of vegetable protein.

DHA / EPA (Omega 3) Fatty Acids From Fish Oil

DHA and EPA Omega 3 Fatty Acids perform so well that the American Heart Association has recommended fish oil as a dietary supplement; EPA is considered most important for heart health while DHA is important for nerve and eye health. The AHA suggests taking one gram daily for cardio protection.

Alpha-Lipoic Acid

Alpha-lipoic acid promotes cellular health by protecting the body from the oxidative damage of aging and exercise. An antioxidant, it also helps the body produce energy. Studies show that alpha-lipoic acid treats blood sugar in diabetic patients, nerve pain or damage associated with diabetes and chemotherapy, and cardiotoxicity.

Cranberry

Cranberry is high in vitamin C, works against bacteria like E. coli, has antioxidant/antiviral properties, and counteracts antacids due to its acidic pH. In healthy women and the elderly, cranberry is a proven preventative against urinary tract infection (UTI). Studies have also considered cranberry as a treatment for dental plaque.
