of your overall vision.
Taurine:Supports healthy nerve cells,
supports your optic nerves and helps
deliver other nutrients like vitamins A,
D and E.
N-Acetyl Cysteine: Shields against free
radical attacks, helps remove toxic
debris and supports healthy liver function. (Your liver stores many of your
eyes’ nutrients and needs to be strong
for good eyesight to be possible.)
Alpha Lipoic Acid: Protects the DNA in
the cells of your eyes, protects your
optic nerves, and helps boost oxygen
delivery in the tiny capillaries responsible for blood flow.
Goldenseal: Cools down soreness and
inflammation, fights eye fatigue and
gets rid of red, bloodshot eyes.
Vitamin E: Popular as a vitamin but
little-known as an eyesight saver, vitamin E protects the cell membranes in
your eyes and supports clear lenses.
Rutin: The “secret weapon” bioflavinoid that boosts the effect of vitamin
C and prevents it from breaking down
too soon.
Zinc: Nourishes your both your retina
and macula.
Selenium: This remarkable antioxidant
zaps free radicals and protects every
part of your eyes, especially your
lenses.
Vitamin C: Keeps the lenses of your
eyes clear and prevents the buildup by
up to 77%. Also supports the walls of
your blood vessels and helps maintain
optimum oxygen delivery.
Taurine: Feeds a very important group
of cells in your eyes called retinal ganglion cells (RGCs). RGCs are neurons,
the kind of cells you have in your
brain. They’re in your eyes, too!”
You can easily research this further by
yourself online, and, while this is not
to be considered a recommendation,
I understand that, Dr. Blyweiss M.D.,
actually has a Designer Nutritional
Health Formula for Eye Health called,
Eagle Eye. Here’s to a life time of
Happy Beading!
