“See what you like…..longer”
Eyes and vision - the ability to see clearly - are impacted by sun exposure, smoking, increasing age, environmental toxins and high circulating levels of fats and sugars in the blood. These factors contribute to visual decline.
One in 7 people over age 75 have compromised vision.
Extension Vision combines select amino acids and phytonutrients in doses that matter. Research indicates supporting eye health prior to decline is more effective. Phytonutrients are not stored in the body; regular intake offers best benefits.
Complement your vision with Extension Vision ‘Extension’ products, such as Extension Vision, from Vitamin Research Products are formulated to be taken along with a multiple vitamin and mineral formula. They are designed to complement, not complicate, your daily regime, offering enhanced and targeted support where you want it.
Tiny vessels Eyes have an abundant number of tiny blood vessels. Supporting and maintaining circulation is crucial for healthy eyes and clear vision. Decline in vision is associated with functional decline in the delicate eye tissue.
Effective ingredients Taurine is a sulfur-containing, conditionally-essential amino acid selectively stored in the heart, brain and retina. Taurine is involved with retinal photoreceptor activity. Healthy levels of taurine are associated with healthier vision.
N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) is an amino acid and precursor to glutathione, a valuable antioxidant. Glutathione is made in the body with 3 amino acids; NAC is considered is the ‘rate-limiting’ amino acid, for without NAC the synthesis of glutathione is limited.
NAC offers multiple benefits, such as reducing free radicals, promoting healthy inflammatory pathways, liver support and more.
Quercetin is a naturally occurring flavonoid with antioxidant activity. Quercetin supports blood vessel integrity and circulation and promotes healthy cell regeneration and beneficial inflammatory pathways.
Bilberry fruit and Grape seed are rich in phytonutrients, such as flavonoids and phenolic compounds (e.g. anthocyanidins, proanthocyanidins). These help reduce oxidation and free radical formation and support healthy cell tissue, improving cell integrity (function) and circulation. Bilberry is used for reducing eye strain.
Evidence suggests Bilberry fruit and Grape seed improve night vision. Standardized for reliability, Extension Vision supplies Bilberry fruit standardized to 25% anthocyanidins, and Grape seed standardized to 95% proanthocyanidins.
Ginkgo is known and used for its ability to improve circulation and scavenge free radicals. A randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial in adults with compromised visual fields reported significant improvements with ginkgo biloba after 8 weeks of supplementation.
Ginkgo has also been shown to support visual and color improvements in individuals managing blood sugar concerns.
Carnosine is a naturally occurring small protein molecule with unique properties. Preliminary evidence suggests carnosine slows production of advance glycosylation end-products (AGEs). AGEs are convoluted and oxidized proteins associated with aging, organ and visual decline.
Carnosine has been shown to reduce fat oxidation inside cell membranes, essential for maintaining healthy eyes.
R-lipoic acid supports healthy circulation and is a unique antioxidant. By regenerating vitamins E and C and improving glutathione levels, it extends activity of other well-established antioxidants.
In addition, research reports nerve and circulatory benefits from R-lipoic acid among individuals managing healthy blood sugar levels.
Lutein and zeaxanthin are the principal carotenoids in the eye lens and macular region of the retina. Astaxanthin is an anti-oxidant rich carotenoid, similar in structure to beta-carotene.
Lutein is responsible for the macula’s yellow pigment. Supplementing with lutein improves macular pigment optical density.
Lutein and zeaxanthin help filter out ultraviolet blue light. They also neutralize free-radicals and promote healthy eye tissue.
Human clinical trials indicate healthy levels of lutein and zeaxanthin are associated with better eye health over the lifespan.
Doses matter Read labels. For example, Extension Vision supplies 7 mg lutein per capsule, the dose recommended from published research. Some supplements on the market provide only 0.25 mg lutein, yet claim to offer benefit*.
Vitamin Research Products provides Extension Vision in vegetarian capsules. No fillers or binders or colors.
