DESCRIPTION

Bios Life® Vision Essentials™ is a nutritional supplement for maintaining healthy eyes. Bios Life® Vision Essentials™contains the following active ingredients: vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, natural beta carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, and anthocyanidins from wild bilberry, wild blueberry, strawberry, cranberry, grape seed extract, elderberry, and raspberries.

Bios Life Vision Essentials™ is a powerful antioxidant formulation designed to protect the eyes from damaging free radicals and to support healthy vision. This potent formula is based on the ground-breaking National Institutes of Health’s (NIH) AREDS I and AREDS II studies where it is found that a combination of antioxidants helps delay the onset of Age-Related Macular Degeneration. In addition to many of the antioxidants included in this study, Bios Life Vision Essentials™ also includes a berry blend that is high in polyphenols, a special group of antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables.

Bios Life® Vision Essentials™ is a purple crystalline powder that is water-soluble. In addition to the active ingredients, each capsule contains silicon dioxide, microcrystalline cellulose, and is packaged in vegetarian capsules

BENEFITS AND RESEARCH

Antioxidants from the carotenoid chemical family, such as beta carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin, play an important role in eye health. Clinical studies have demonstrated that lutein and zeaxanthin are concentrated to the retina and lens of the eye. Supplementation with high levels of lutein can restore the lutein concentration in the retina. Further supplementation of vitamins C, E, and A (in the form of beta-carotene) along with zinc and copper aid with the healthy function of the eyes. Additional support for the eyes comes from a proprietary berry blend included in Bios Life® Vision Essentials™. This proprietary berry blend contains anthocyanidins, antioxidant compounds that support the vasculature within the eye.

USAGE

Take two capsules per day with a meal.

SAFETY AND WARNINGS

Bios Life® Vision Essentials™ is well tolerated. As with any dietary supplement, some gastrointestinal discomfort may be experienced.

INGREDIENTS

Vitamin C – A water-soluble antioxidant found in fresh fruits and vegetables. Although many mammals can
produce vitamin C, humans must obtain their vitamin C from their diet.

Vitamin E – A fat-soluble antioxidant that helps prevent the production of reactive oxygen species formed when fat undergoes oxidation.

Vitamin A – A group of fat soluble antioxidants found in colorful fruits and vegetables. In carrots, this antioxidant is responsible for their bright orange color.

Zinc – Over 100 enzymes are dependent on this trace mineral for their ability to catalyze reactions in the body. Zinc is found in red meats, wheat, celery, beans and almonds.

Lutein – Derived from marigolds, this antioxidant is responsible for the plant’s rich color. The discovery by scientists that lutein is found in high concentrations in the eye led to studies to determine how lutein supplementation a­ects eye health.

Zeaxanthin – Like lutein, zeaxanthin is found in high concentrations in the eye relative to other parts of the body. Zeaxanthin is a major component of the central macula, while lutein is a major component of the peripheral retina. Zeaxanthin is responsible for paprika’s bright red color.

Bios Life® Berry Blend – An antioxidant rich berries blend that includes blueberry, strawberry, cranberry,
billberry, elderberry and raspberry which is high in polyphenols that help to support healthy vision and to neutralize free radicals
