Bilberry Extract:
Bilberries have long been used historically for scurvy, urinary complaints, diarrhoea and dysentery, but were first noted to support vision and eye health in the 2nd world war when British Royal Air Force pilots reported improved night vision acuity after consuming bilberries. Bilberries were then studied for the possibility that they may sharpen vision acuity and allow quicker adjustment to darkness. Bilberry’s contain high levels of anthocyanin antioxidants or “Vitamin P” activity. This activity nourishes the rods of the retina, which are what enable us to see in dim light and afford night vision. Bilberry anthocyanidins support the lens from oxidative stress and to keep the rubbery, jellylike nature which supports the ability to focus.

Eyebright Extract:
Eyebright has been prescribed by medicinal herbalists since the 14th century for eye health. The leaf, steam and flowers of Eyebright have astringent compounds known as tannins and lignans which support the health of the top layers of the eyes’ mucus membranes. It also has anti-inflammatory components including iridoid glycosides and flavonoid antioxidants, quercetin and aucubin, that support the health of the iris and the circular patch of yellow pigmented tissues called the macula lutea. With high levels of anti-bacterial, anti-viral and anti-fungal properties, Eyebright supports the body’s natural immune response and defenses against irritations and infections to the eye.

Lutein & Zeaxanthin:
Lutein and zeaxanthin are natural carotenoid compounds that are found in many flowers, plants and vegetables. Within the body these carotenoid compounds are mostly found in the retina, macula lutea and lens of the eye. High levels of these compounds in the diet can help provide support for age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma and cataracts. It is thought that these antioxidants support the eyes’ natural defenses against free radical damage and support normal capillary health within the eye.

Zinc, Vitamin C, Selenium & Copper:
Zinc, Vitamin C, Selenium and Copper are all powerful antioxidant nutrients that are required to support normal vision and good eye health. Together and in synergy with the herbs found in O2B Pro-vision® these essential nutrients help to provide natural support from oxidative stress throughout the body and specifically in the eye.
