Eye Care (60 Caps @ R6.78 per cap)

Eye Care - Focus on your window to the World!

The eye is indeed a wondrous construction. It is a highly accurate and extremely complex sensor. It is adjustable to view things near and far as tiny muscles change the shape of the lens to accommodate the circumstances and focus the light rays on the retina. 

It is also able to see black and white, as well as colour, in light conditions and in dark. This is made possible by the different chemical reactions of the rods and cones -two highly specialised structures in the retina.

It can not only see but also enable the brain to coordinate intricate movement (think 'golf swing' or 'soccer goal'). It is directly connected to several other bodily systems- think seasickness when your feet and your ears are sensing certain movements while your eyes are signaling other changes of scenery.   

The eye encompasses its own fueling and exhaust system (blood vessels). In addition, it also has an exquisite, built-in self-cleaning and servicing mechanism in the form of tears.

As is the case for every intricate apparatus, the eye also needs regular care and maintenance. Especially during times when we place great stress on them, such as working on computers all day, or driving in high glare conditions, or walking on dry and dusty pathways.

Eye Care now offers an opportunity to give our eyes a lot more of the care and support that they need to remain healthy and effective for as long as possible. 

Eye Care contains extracts of two herbs: Marigold flower and Bilberry fruit. Do you remember your Mother telling you to eat carrots so that you would be able to see better at night? Well those lovely, bright yellows and oranges in the Marigold flower provide two powerful chemicals required for the healthy functioning of the eye.

Lutein protects the retina and the macula (specifically against sun-related damage) and Zeaxanthin which protects against Age Related Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma and Cataracts. Both Lutein and Zeaxanthin are carotenoids - highly effective anti-oxidants - and both are naturally found concentrated in the eye.

Bilberry is from the same family as the Blueberry. Its deep blue colour is the result of a high concentration of anthocyanins - another extremely effective anti-oxidant. Together with the other nutrients found in Bilberries, this helps to protect the collagen (for structure and integrity) in the retina, as well as in all the tiny blood vessels which feed and remove the waste from all the many parts of the eye,

All the ingredients have been carefully selected to ensure that all the parts of the eye including the all-important optic nerve receive the support and care they deserve. See ingredients and their benefits below.
