NutriVision™ Ingredients Explained

Beta carotene (antioxidant proVitamin A)

Epidemiologic studies provide support for a protective role of nutritional antioxidants in prevention of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and cataracts. Adequate Vitamin A is also necessary for proper goblet cell formation in the conjunctiva and may affect the dry eye.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid)

Vitamin C is an antioxidant. It protects Vitamin E from being oxidized and is involved in protecting the integrity of capillaries. It is required for collagen synthesis.

Vitamin E (d-alpha-tocopheryl succinate)

Reduces the risk of coronary heart diseases at 200 IU or more per day. It combines with selenium and protects Vitamin A from oxidation.

Folic Acid

Folic acid has an essential role in DNA synthesis. It participates as an active coenzyme and preventative factor for anemias. It is the first B Vitamin group member to become deficient in poorly nourished aging individuals, the so-called 'tea and toast' contingent.

Zinc (picolinate)

Zinc has been shown to have better absorption than zinc oxide. Low zinc will impair dark adaptation and wound healing. Zinc is required for synthesis of superoxide dismutase, which converts superoxide free radical to hydrogen peroxide. Supplementation with zinc has shown inverse relation with progression of AMD.

Selenium

Selenium is required in the synthesis of glutathione peroxidase which is needed to detoxify superoxide dismutase.

Glutathione

A naturally occurring antioxidant, which also depends on selenium for its synthesis. In experimental culture, glutathione protects retinal pigment epithelial cells (RPE) from oxidative injury.

Chromium

Activates the utilization of insulin. It is an integral part of cell membranes. Chromium concentration declines with age and parallels reduced ability to metabolize glucose.

Taurine

An essential bipeptide which fills photoreceptors in the retina and has antioxidant properties.

Bilberry Extract

Contains anthocyanins, which are thought to increase night vision, protect capillaries, and inhibits platelet aggregation.

Lutein

An important pigment antioxidant in the macula. Several studies have shown an inverse trend between lutein intake and cataract and AMD.

Zeaxanthin

A carotenoid that helps protect the retinal from the damaging effects of light by absorbing blue light. Zeaxanthin is the dominant component found within the central macula (75%).

Quercitin

A bioflavonoid which prevents build-up of lipofuscin and the formation of Drusen. It is also an antioxidant, and it blocks cycloxygenase and lipoxygenase.

CHINESE HERBS

Gochee Berry Extract (Lycium Chinense)

Reduces capillary fragility, lowers blood cholesterol, and improves blood sugar metabolism.

Chuang Xiong Extract (Ligusticum Chuanxiong Wall)

Siberian Ginseng (Eleuterococcus Senticocus) vision loss prevention

It is extensively used in Russia as an immune enhancing agent and to restore concentration, memory, and cognition. It is also used as a remedy for stress, depression, and fatigue. It was extensively used in the Russian Space Program by cosmonauts. It increases T-lymphocytes.

Chinese Red Ginseng (Panax Ginseng)

Improves oxygenation of brain tissue and improves mental and neurological performance. It is an adaptogen and normalizes adverse conditions in the body.

Ginkgo (Ginkgo Biloba)

POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS

As with any medication, there are potential side effects of the Chinese herbs in NutriVision™. Review of literature shows side effects are rare unless the doses are large. We have specially formulated NutriVision™ to include doses of herbs that are sufficient for beneficial effects, but small enough to avoid side effects.

The following is a list of potential side effects:

Ginkgo Biloba
Occasional nausea in large doses (120 mg). May inhibit platelet activating factors and potentiate effect of warfarin (Coumadin) and aspirin.

Chinese Ginseng
May reduce blood sugar levels if used in large doses (3 gm/day). May also cause diarrhea or bleeding.
