Thirty-seven healthy subjects between the ages of 22 and 30 with long-term computer display light exposure were studied. The subjects were observed following 12 weeks of lutein supplementation. There was a trend towards improved visual acuity and measures of contrast sensitivity in the subjects taking lutein verse the placebo group. The study concluded that “a higher intake of lutein may have beneficial effects on the visual performance.

When we talk about “visionary” painters, such as Monet, Degas, Van Gogh, and Cézanne, we are referring to their artistic genius, their imaginative ability to see the world-a sunset, a bowl of fruit, a ballerina-in a completely new way. But did you know that at least some of their artistry stems, literally, from problems with their vision?

Vitamin E and Cataract Study

An observational 10-year study of more than 35,000 middle-aged U.S. women observed the women’s use of dietary supplements and occurrence of cataracts.

The study found significant evidence that women who had more lutein, zeaxanthin and vitamin E in their diet were less likely to develop cataracts than women who are lacking intake of these nutrients. In fact, the women who got the most lutein, zeaxanthin and vitamin E were 18% less likely to get cataracts.

These nutrients are hot topics in research right now, including the ongoing AREDS II study.

Juicing For Vitamins And Minerals

Juicing For Life

We consider daily juicing of primarily organic vegetables and fruits to be an essential part of any long term healing program. Juicing provides a highly effective and efficient way for the body to be able to absorb essential nutrients into the blood and cells, taking a little as a few minutes for the body to start utilizing these nutrients.

Why is juicing so important?

1. What are enzymes? The basic key to the efficacy of nourishing your body is the life present in food and of those intangible elements known as enzymes. Enzymes are complex substances that enable us to digest food and absorb it into out blood, as well as being catalysts for many essential life functions, such as separating the nitrogen from the air we breath, so we absorb the oxygen. Enzymes become sluggish at cooking temperatures above 118 degrees, and are destroyed at temperatures above 130 degrees (microwaves completely destroy enzymes in your food).

1. Always take vitamins with food. Digestive enzymes are stimulated when eating and aid in nutrient absorption.
2. Limit fluids with meals to improve digestion. Especially avoid cold or iced drinks when eating.
3. If possible, use liquid and/or sublingual vitamins. They are the most easily assimilated by the body. Capsules are the next best choice.
4. If vitamin capsules cannot be swallowed, open up the capsule and mix the contents with juice or yogurt.
5. If taking a daily multivitamin and you want to start taking specific vitamins for your eyes, continue to take the daily multiple with the specific eye vitamins.
6. A small amount of apple cider vinegar, taken just prior to a meal, will stimulate production of digestive juices.
7. If taking antibiotics, take acidophilus supplements between dosages. This will help build up the good bacteria in the digestive tract destroyed by the antibiotics. It is especially important for elderly patients to take acidophilus on a regular basis.
8. Vitamin A and Lutein compete for absorption, so take separately.

The juicer we decided to offer on our website is the Omega 8002 juicer, which juices without generating heat that can destroy some of the essential nutrients. At 80 RPM (most juicers work at 3600 RPM and higher), it essentially masticates the fruits and vegetables slowly, preserving the most nutrients possible. The disadvantage is that the process is a little slower, and cleaning takes a couple of more minutes.

Selenium and Glutathione Helps To Prevent Cataracts

Eye Nutrition Fact: Selenium and Glutathione Helps To Prevent Cataracts

Selenium is a mineral involved in the body’s production of glutathione peroxide, another protective enzyme found in the eye. This enzyme is an antioxidant, and is important in DNA and protein synthesis. It affects
retinal vessel proliferation, retinal vessels and tissue elasticity. A lack of it can increase the severity of a cataract and cause hemolytic problems. Additionally, glutathione, a naturally occurring compound in
the lens of the eye, is an important enzyme that helps prevent the formation of cataracts.

If you aren’t already taking it, our Ocu-Plus Formula contains 17 different nutrients (Including Selenium and Glutathione ) that are essential to eye health. Learn more about it at

Quercetin As a Powerful Antioxidant

17 Vitamins And Minerals especially formulated for your eyes

Quercetin is a powerful antioxidant, as well as a natural antihistamine and anti-inflammatory. It is a citrus bioflavonoid, a natural substance that helps protect capillaries, prevent bruising, and intensify the effect of vitamin C in the body – in fact, bioflavonoids are essential for total vitamin C effectiveness.

In a study of adults with symptoms of macular degeneration, moderate red wine consumption (a source of quercetin) offered some protection against the development and progression of the disease.

Dark berries, such as blueberries, blackberries, and cherries, are also high in flavonoids. Animal studies suggest that quercetin inhibits the activity of compounds that contribute to the development of cataracts.
