Vision Essentials™ is Essential to Vision Health
“By the time grandpa passed away, he’d lost most of his
vision. Without good eyesight, he stopped reading and didn’t want to go
on walks anymore. He felt depressed and isolated and resented the fact
that he was entirely dependent on others if he needed to go somewhere.”
Vision is one of life’s gifts that we take for granted. We rarely
think about it unless our eyesight fails. Have you ever been with a
child after they put on glasses for the first time? How excited they are
to see the shapes of leaves on the trees and the chalkboard at school!
Now imagine, as you age, images such as treetops, birds, or faces
becoming blurry and disappearing altogether. Vision impairment,
especially as you age, is a major health problem. A loss of vision means
that you may have to reorganize your life and learn new ways of doing
things.
Age-related visual impairment is second only to arthritis or
rheumatism as a cause of disability. Vision loss ranks third after
arthritis and heart disease as the reason for impaired daily functioning
in people over the age of 70.
Older individuals, especially those with vision impairment, face
greater safety risks when crossing busy intersections and when driving.
Visually impaired older adults find it difficult, if not impossible, to
read for pleasure, watch television, movies and sports for recreation
with friends and family, barring them from the most common forms of
social engagement, which can further add to a sense of isolation and
depression. They confront formidable challenges in using computers and
harnessing the internet to access information, to communicate, and to
participate in online learning.
However, the fact is, some vision impairment as you age is preventable.
Nutrition and vision
To maintain healthy eyes, healthcare professionals recommend that you
eat a healthy diet and lead an active lifestyle. For example, anything
that adversely affects the health of the cardiovascular system has the
potential for causing damage to your eyes and vision. Arteriosclerotic
changes can cause the blood supply to the eye to become blocked,
resulting in sudden loss of vision. Type 2 diabetes from an improper
diet and lack of exercise can lead to diabetic retinopathy and vision
loss.
In addition, it’s recommended that
you take nutritional supplements to assure that you are receiving
adequate amounts of micronutrients that are important to maintaining eye
health.
Research shows that many diseases are caused by a process called
oxidation. Oxidation by free radicals appears to be involved in the
development of certain eye diseases, including cataracts and age-related
macular degeneration (AMD).
Because oxidation by free radicals appears to cause a wide variety of
diseases, researchers are focusing on the possible protective role of
antioxidant vitamins and other micronutrients. Antioxidants are
radical-scavenging agents that destroy free radicals and protect the
body from harmful oxidative processes.
Unicity’s vision health supplements continue to evolve
As research about vision health evolves, so do Unicity’s nutritional
supplements. Responding to the latest findings on eye health, Unicity
International has developed Bios Life Vision Essentials.
Bios Life Vision Essentials is a powerful antioxidant formulation
designed to protect the eyes from age-related macular degeneration
(AMD). The Bios Life Vision Essentials formula is based on the
Age-Related Eye Disease Study I and II (AREDS) formulation which found
that a combination of antioxidants were able to slow the advance of AMD.

Recently, the National Institute of Health conducted two studies
called Age-Related Eye Disease Study I and II (AREDS). Unicity
International took the findings of AREDS I and the emerging results of
AREDS II (which is still underway), and formulated Bio Life Vision
Essentials.
These studies show that proper supplementation with the appropriate
selection of powerful antioxidants, essential minerals, and lutein can
significantly reduce the risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
and its associated vision loss. This nutritional formulation can now be
found in Bios Life Vision Essentials!
Bios Life Vision Essentials delivers tested and proven ingredients
essential to vision health and will replace billberry, VISUtein and
Vision Complete.

ingredients are derived from dark leafy greens, bright colored
vegetables and the lush, deep colors in fresh berries—all chosen and
tested to promote healthy vision.
