What Steps Are You Taking to Nourish the Health of Your Eyes for Life?

Discover Nature’s Simple, Science-Based
Solution for Vision and Eye Support

By S.A. Nickerson

Dear Friend,

I’m sure you have your own reasons to appreciate your vision.

After all, there’s so much beauty to see in the world.

The smiles of your grandchildren. The splendor of snow-capped mountain peaks. The masterpieces of famous painters and sculptors.

So it probably wouldn’t surprise you to know that 78% of baby boomers surveyed rank vision as the most important of their five senses.

Yet this same survey noted something that IS surprising, given that vision is rated as the top priority.

While over half of baby boomers take supplements for joint, bone, or heart health, fewer than 1 in 5 use supplements to support their eye health.

Holistic medical physician Dr. David Brownstein is well aware that aging eyes require diligent and comprehensive vision support. Yet, as you can see by the numbers, this often goes neglected.

Dr. Brownstein knows it’s not your fault. Many doctors fail to mention the importance of supporting your eye health. You may not even be aware of new breakthroughs in this field.

So if you haven’t taken any steps — yet — to support the overall health of your eyes and vision . . .

Or you currently use an eye health supplement and wonder if it’s really helping . . .

Please take a few minutes to read this educational message.

You’ll see what Dr. Brownstein recommends for “mature” eyes. Plus, you’ll discover how your daily lifestyle may be impacting your aging eyes.

The first thing you need to know is simple but true . . .

Your Aging Eyes Are Under Constant Assault

Of course, it’s not just your eyes. Your entire body is under constant assault from pollution, toxins, harmful chemicals in food, excessive sun exposure, and even waste products from normal metabolism.

All these factors can lead to a buildup of free radicals.

You’ve heard of free radicals — tiny unstable particles that damage your cells and DNA. Scientists call this process oxidative stress. And unfortunately, this oxidative stress from the accumulation of free radicals has been shown to increase with aging.

In a vicious cycle, free radicals initiate and perpetuate an imbalanced inflammatory process, which in turn creates even more free radicals.

And here’s why Dr. Brownstein is so concerned . . .

Compared to most other organs, your eyes are particularly vulnerable to oxidative damage due to their constant exposure to light and their high metabolism.

What’s worse, this exposure to light does not merely refer to ultraviolet light.

The Little-Known ‘Blue’ Challenge to Your Aging Eyes

The color blue represents tranquility and relaxation. Religious scholars even consider it a reminder of the heavenly realm.

But blue has a dark side . . .

You see, the color blue has important implications when it comes to your eyes — particularly once you hit middle age or older.

I’m talking about blue light.

Let me back up a bit.

I’m sure you’ve learned the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays can harm your skin. If you’re older, you may have grown up before it was common knowledge that protecting yourself against sunburn (or worse) was an absolute must. These days, you know better than to spend time in the sun without slathering on the sunscreen.

You also know your eyes require shielding from harsh UV rays. You probably wouldn’t dream of going out into bright sunlight without wearing your sunglasses.

Well, more recently, experts have started to recognize concerns related to another type of light — blue light.

You may not realize this, but ultraviolet and blue light are two different things.

While UV light is considered invisible, blue light is a wave in the visible light spectrum. These are the rays that make the sky look blue.

There are many sources of blue light, including sunlight.

In its natural form, your body needs a small amount of blue light from the sun to regulate your natural sleep and wake cycles, known as circadian rhythms. In moderate amounts, blue light can help boost alertness and promote feelings of well-being.

So why should you be concerned about blue light exposure?

Blue Light Is Everywhere
These Days

In addition to being present in sunlight, blue light is found in many forms of light bulbs including LED, fluorescent, and to a lesser extent, incandescent.

But the real problem for your eyes today stems from our exploding technology.

The real problem is all the blue light bombarding you from so many electronic devices:

• Tablets, iPads, and e-readers
• Smartphones
• Computer monitors and laptops
• TVs
• Anything with LED lighting

And unfortunately, studies indicate that 80% of American adults use digital devices for more than two hours every day.

Light in the violet/blue band (also called HEV or high-energy visible light) contains the shortest wavelengths and the highest energy.

Because they are shorter, these high-energy wavelengths flicker more easily than longer and weaker wavelengths. This flickering produces glare that can reduce visual contrast — the ability to perceive differences between objects and their background.

Flickering and glare can affect sharpness and clarity, and have been linked to:

• Eyestrain
• Fatigue
• Headaches
• And other issues caused by sitting in front of a computer screen or using an electronic device

In fact, 59% of people surveyed report experiencing symptoms of digital eye strain.

Our eyes’ natural filters do not provide sufficient protection against blue light rays from the sun, let alone the blue light emanating from all these high-tech devices.

Now, how these blue light rays affect your ability to sit comfortably at the computer is bad enough.

But Dr. Brownstein is troubled by something else.

He’s concerned about special cells in the retina, called photoreceptors. They initiate the process of seeing by absorbing and converting light into electrical signals.

Then, these signals are sent to other cells in the retina and ultimately through the optic nerve to the brain. That’s where they are processed into the images we see.

Sadly, these photoreceptor cells display the highest rate of oxidation of all cells in the body.

As you might imagine, supporting the health of these cells is vital to supporting overall visual function.

So what’s the answer?

The 1-Word Solution to Natural Eye
Health Support

Dr. Brownstein and other experts know the solution to supporting optimal eye health can be summed up in one word: antioxidants.

Here’s why a bountiful daily supply of antioxidants is so important . . .

Antioxidants circulate inside your body, gobbling up free radicals that alter the healthy functioning of cells (including cells in your retina). Excess free radicals can lead to adverse outcomes when it comes to health.

In a perfect world, you could obtain all the antioxidants you need with a diet high in vegetables and fruits.

Unfortunately, studies show many older people consume less than the government-recommended levels of fruits and vegetables. In fact, those over 60 consume the lowest quantity of antioxidants. Yet older individuals actually require more dietary antioxidants than younger people.

Adding insult to injury, the aging process may reduce your ability to absorb certain nutrients — including antioxidant nutrients — from food.

The point is, if you are in an older age group, you are more likely to fall victim to an antioxidant shortfall.

Your Eyes Require Special Antioxidants

As Dr. Brownstein will tell you, not all antioxidants are created equal. Certain antioxidants excel at fighting certain types of free radicals — or work better under certain conditions.

There are literally thousands of different antioxidants, including vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals (plant-derived nutrients).

So how do you get these all-important antioxidants — especially the ones that can help maintain healthy vision?

As you’ve seen, it’s hard to get them from diet alone. And many popular vision formulas or store brands come up short. Many contain only one, two, or three ingredients.

That’s why Dr. Brownstein worked with the experts at the premium supplement company Medix Select to create the antioxidant-loaded eye health and vision support formula OPTIZO™.

And great news!

You’ll have the opportunity to try the advanced OPTIZO formula for yourself for a full 30 days, so keep reading for more details on this special offer.

But first, here’s what you should know about this powerful new formula containing a whopping 25 ingredients.

Vision Support for a Lifetime Starts With Plant-Derived Nutrients Called Carotenoids

Most importantly, you should know that antioxidant plant-derived compounds called carotenoids have demonstrated potent action against free radicals in the eyes.

And while there are 600 carotenoids found in nature, only three carotenoids are found in high concentrations in the retina and its central portion, the macula — lutein, zeaxanthin, and its molecular relative meso-zeaxanthin.

Lutein and zeaxanthin are not produced by the body, so they must be gained through diet or supplementation.

When it comes to diet, lutein and zeaxanthin are found in dark leafy vegetables and yellow to orange fruits and vegetables. Researchers found meso-zeaxanthin in fish such as trout, salmon, and sardines but most evidence suggests it is primarily synthesized in the body.

Unfortunately, the average American intake of these carotenoids is far below levels shown by research to be beneficial for eye health.

Because lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin are so important for vision support, you can see why Dr. Brownstein made them the flagship ingredients in his eye-supporting OPTIZO formula.

But he didn’t want “generic” nutrients. He wanted nutrients supported by science — and supplied at researched levels. That’s why he chose Lutemax 2020^®.

Award-Winning, Clinically Studied Lutemax 2020 Provides OPTIZO With All 3 Carotenoids

Lutemax 2020 is a naturally-derived proprietary extract from the marigold plant.

It provides all three macular carotenoids — lutein and enhanced levels of both zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin — at the same 5:1 ratio as found in nature to optimally support eye health.

Impressive scientific research backs the effectiveness of Lutemax 2020.

The LAMA studies (Lutein, Vision, and Mental Acuity) supported the benefits of all three macular carotenoids in Lutemax 2020. The results of the LAMA research indicated significant improvement in the MPOD, which you learned earlier is the concentration of the macular carotenoid pigment.

The denser the macular pigment, the greater its ability to absorb oxidation-producing light rays. MPOD improvement is associated with enhancement of visual functions involving light sensitivity and glare recovery.

Additionally, the LAMA studies showed that Lutemax 2020 demonstrates enhanced bioavailability, which means the body is better able to utilize the nutrients.

Based on all this research, Dr. Brownstein made sure OPTIZO contained a bounty of Lutemax 2020 at researched levels, supplying 20 mg of lutein and 4 mg of zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin per daily serving.

Yet as impressive as Lutemax 2020 is, Dr. Brownstein didn’t stop there . . .

An Antioxidant ‘Cocktail’ Specifically for Aging Eyes

In developing his formula, Dr. Brownstein wanted to provide you with an entire “cocktail” of antioxidants and eye health-supporting nutrients with OPTIZO. So he pored over the scientific literature.

The AREDS and AREDS2 clinical trials, sponsored by the National Eye Institute, represent landmark research when it comes to evaluating the effectiveness of nutritional supplements for eye health.

In fact, these were the first studies that really made physicians and eye care professionals recognize the value of nutritional supplementation when it comes to vision and eye health.

Over 12 years and after studying nearly 9,000 participants, these groundbreaking studies found that a combination of nutrients had a direct and significant effect on eye health.

Of course, their recommendation included lutein and zeaxanthin.

But it also included vitamin C, vitamin E, and zinc.

So Dr. Brownstein made sure to add these nutrients to OPTIZO for even more support.

All three of them are antioxidants that provide support to the macula and lens of the eye.

Vitamin C promotes normal intraocular pressure. Vitamin E and the mineral zinc help support a balanced inflammatory response.

There’s not enough space to go into great detail about all of the 25 nutrients in this jam-packed eye support formula, but here are a few more of the ingredients Dr. Brownstein felt were so beneficial, he just had to add them to OPTIZO.
