with Lutein, Vitamins A,
C & E
and added Minerals. Dietary Supplement.
Item # CE-300
Corso Enterprises, Inc. proudly introduces Eyes Vita
Caps™, a new synergistic blend of Lutein (Therapeutic
amount @ 10 mg) with Vitamins A, C & E, Minerals and
botanical extracts specifically formulated for eye function
support.
As we age, the accumulated oxidative stress our eyes
experience can generate unwanted conditions such as ARMD,
Cataract, Poor Night Vision and Glaucoma. The major nutrients
found in Eyes Vita Capsª have shown to help retard
or even reverse certain conditions and offer significant
ocular nourishment. Taken as directed (as a dietary supplement,
2 to 4 capsules daily with meals) it is a reliable source
of selected vitamins and minerals which are known to be
present at significantly higher concentrations in healthy
eyes, relative to overall body stores.
Lutein: Increases serum levels and macular pigment
density.
Vitamins C & E: Play a role in the prevention
of age-related nuclear lens opacities.
Chromium and Vinpocetine: Assist in glucose regulation;
critical for eye and brain function.
Vitamin A and Beta Carotene: Essential for support
of the photoreceptor sights of the retina.
During the past few decades numerous studies have been
published on the efficacy of nutritional and botanical
medicines in the prevention and treatment of ocular diseases,
including macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy,
retinitis pigmentosa, cataracts, and glaucoma.
Glutathione and Ocular Photo-Biology
Glutathione is present in the cornea, aqueous humor,
ocular lens and retina. In these tissues it serves a variety
of functions including maintaining normal tissue hydration,
detoxifying peroxides and electrophilic compounds via
enzymatic pathways. Glutathione acts as a free radical
scavenger to protect against photo-induced damage. In
the ocular lens, glutathione levels decrease with aging
and cataract formation. Data suggests the pivotal role
of glutathione for the protection of the tissues of the
eye against oxidative stress.

Ginkgo Biloba and Ocular Support
Ginkgo biloba offers inhibition of certain proliferations
without the use of cytotoxic agents.
Baudouin C, Ettaiche M et al Exp Eye Res 1994 Dec;59(6):697-706
Clinical Study: Ginkgo biloba extract increases ocular
blood flow velocity. Significant increase in end diastolic
velocity (EDV) in the ophthalmic artery (OA) without side
effects were found.

Antioxidant Vitamins and Beta Carotene in Cataract
Prevention
In-vitro and in-vivo studies have demonstrated a significant
protective effect of vitamins A, C and E against light-induced
cataract. Sugar and steroid cataracts were prevented as
well.

Multicenter Study: 356 case subjects diagnosed with advanced
stage AMD vs. 520 control subjects confirmed a 43% lower
risk of AMD by increasing bioflavonoid consumption.

Lutein Increases Macular Pigmentation
Macular photoreceptor damage due to cumulative oxidative
processes is more prevalent as we age. Macular Pigment
consisting of lutein and zeaxanthin through their ability
to filter light and by direct antioxidative properties
are the most effective protective factor in the central
retina. The two most important risk factors for AMD are
associated with a relative absence of Macular Pigment.
These findings are consistent with the hypothesis that
supplemental lutein and zeaxanthin may delay, avert, or
modify the course of this disease.
Pauleikhoff D, van Kuijk FJ Ophthalmology 2001 Jun;98(6):511-9
Case Control Study: Confirms increased amounts of lutein
and zeaxanthin in the retina decrease risk of AMD.
Bone RA, Landrum JT Invest Ophthalmology Vis Sci 2001
Jan;42(1):235-40
1 Year Case Study: Blue light damage causes higher risk
for AMD. With supplementation for 140 days there was a
30-40% reduction in blue light reaching the photoreceptors,
BruchÕs membrane, and the retinal pigment epithelium,
the vulnerable tissues affected by AMD.

Antioxidant Minerals Copper, Selenium and Zinc for
Ocular Support
Copper and Zinc, critical for proper eye function, combine
with Super Oxide Dismutase as an important scavenger in
the lens and may have a protective role against cataract
formation. An alternative role for Selenium has shown
to be as an antioxidant in the eye.
