Bilberon Bilberry Extract

Only Vision Essentials ULTRA contains Bilberon, made with 100% genuine, high-quality bilberries native to Scandinavia that have been guaranteed by “Certificates of Origin.” They have a minimum 36% anthocyanins, which is critically important because you want to make sure you are getting bilberry from a reputable source. And it’s the same antioxidant extract used in human clinical trials. In one study, Bilberon supplementation over six weeks in adults exposed to computer screens, gaming, smartphones, or other digital devices, used for greater than 4 hours per day, led to significant improvements* including:

• Reduced eye fatigue
• Reduced neck and shoulder stiffness
• Decreased eye dryness
• Decreased eye redness and itching
• Increased eye moisture
• Improved accommodation (ability to alternately focus from near to far objects)

Clear'Saff Saffron

Clinical studies on the antioxidant Clear'Saff Saffron—a premium, pure, high-quality saffron extract rich in active compounds—have shown it supports normal, comfortable eye function when looking at all the beautiful things in life. Saffron also has neuro-benefits promoting a better mood state, helping regulate stress levels, reducing occasional anxiousness, and more. Saffron supplementation over a 12 to 16 month treatment period led to the following experiential benefits reported by participants in the study:*

• Enhanced visual acuity (sharpness)
• Vision support in low light
• While not measured, participants also reported better contrast and color perception, as well as better reading ability.

AREDS + Setria Glutathione

Vision Essentials ULTRA also includes vitamins A and C, plus zinc and copper, nutrients that are part of the AREDS study and are critical for vision and macular wellness. Plus, many researchers believe glutathione—a premier antioxidant—essentially controls free radicals that contribute to the aging process. The Setria Glutathione in Vision Essentials ULTRA supplies a potent store of antioxidants that bind to free radicals, keeping them from wreaking havoc throughout your body.
