Eye disease is on the rise among the general population of the United States.
Diabetes, being over weight, hypertention, unfit physical condition and poor
dietary habits add additional stress to your eyes.
Researchers agree that one of the most destructive bio-chemical actions within
the body are free radical molecules. A “free radical” is an unstable double
oxygen molecule that disrupt the structure of other molecules and result in
cellular damage, especially to the interior of the eye. The symptoms from this
continual damage may result in cataracts, macular degeneration, glaucoma and may
add to premature degradation of sight vision performance or dry-eye. Generally,
this is a condition which affects people later in life, usually after the age of
50. Since many physiologic functions are slowing with aging, anti-oxidant
production by ocular cells slows, as well. A study done late in 1999 indicates
that by monitoring the blood levels for glutathione peroxidase, they may soon be
able to predict physiologic disorders of the eye by a simple blood test, well in
advance of pathologic damage.
Glutathione peroxidase is an antioxidant enzyme which protects cells and tissue,
of the eye and other systems of the body. As the levels of glutathione
peroxidase increase there is a correlation; that free radical activity has also
increased and a potential for damage to eye tissue may result.
There are dietary steps that may reduce free radical activity. First, increase
the amount of raw fresh fruits and vegetables you eat, which are the primary
providers for the natural co-factors of antioxidants. If you don’t like or buy
frozen fruits and vegetables during winter time, there are supplements
specifically formulated to provide all of these special antioxidants. One is
Visitein Complex , a high quality eye product manufactured by Molecular
Biologics for Life.
There are other health care supplements i.e. Oxyguard which can also help to
increase the essential vitamins and minerals which must be available for
antioxidant protection. Because this is a disorder associated with aging,
individuals may have problems of digestion and absorption, which can deter
assimilation of these nutrients for the protection of the body and specifically,
the eye. If that’s the case I recommend Bromelain-Papain, Biogest and/or Panex—8
to help complete digestion processes.
** VISITEIN COMPLEX **
Ocular health nutritives and antioxidant protection.
Ingredients: Lutene 10mg, L-Carnosine 200mg, L Taurine 200mg, Bilberry ext.
50mg, Vitamin A 3,500iu, Vitamin E 30iu, Zinc 2mg, Manganese 2mg. Lutene is a
carotenoid pigment found in plants. Carotenoids are also in vitamin A and Beta
carotene. Carnosine is a nitrogen base from Alanine and Histadine is needed for
the repair of tissue and maintenance of the myelin sheath. L Taurine an amino
acid peptide which promotes antioxidant protection for the eye.Zinc amino acid
chelate, is a metal-cofactor necessary for production of specific ocular
antioxidant enzymes, Manganese a metal-cofactor necessary in antioxidant ocular
protection, Vitamins A & E are direct antioxidants, in the blood circulation
which assist in ocular protection from the oxidative process of some types of
free radicals, and Bilberry extract, an herb, it’s common name is huckleberry
which contains specific antioxidants compounds found to be beneficial for the
eye. It also is effective as an anti-inflammatory, and anti-septic.
