Ocular Defense Formula
Dietary Supplement for Healthy Eyes
In today's health-conscious environment, taking care of the body has become a top
priority. Many people, however, focus on reshaping their physiques and fine-tuning
their muscles, often neglecting other parts of their bodies that need attention, too.
One part of the body that frequently gets overlooked is the eyes.
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the most feared disability is
blindness. In the U.S. alone, four million people are at risk of becoming blind from
age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a disease that results in the deterioration
of the retina. Age-related cataracts, a clouding of the lens of the eye, cost the
world billions of dollars annually and strike approximately 50 percent of people age
50 and older in developed countries. Poorly controlled high blood pressure, heart
disease and diabetes impair the vision or blind millions of others.
Bilberry fruit has an extensive history of providing benefits for the eyes. The fruit is
similar to a cranberry or huckle-berry, and often called the European blueberry.
White in color, bilberries can be used in the same ways as other berries - in jams,
pies and desserts.
To promote ocular health, bilberry is used throughout Europe to help poor night
vision and day blindness. Scientific research confirms that bilberry contains substances
called anthocyanosides which help to strengthen blood vessels, reduce
inflammation and stabilize tissues containing collagen.
Support the health of your eyes - naturally.
