Reversing Vision Issues?

As many of you know, doctors say that there is no treatment for certain eye diseases and injuries such as Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), retinal photic injury, and other eye diseases that are induced by free radicals.
Well, a major research study went down, which shares of an antioxidant that was able to improve upon existing eye damage. I will share this research study further below.
For ages, people have been trying to help restore their vision with food and supplements.
First researchers studied carotenoids, which all have antioxidant properties. Carotenoids can some times play a part in protecting the eye from free radical damage. In order to be of any use to the eye though, carotenoids need three special properties that only a few possess. They must be able to cross not only the blood-brain barrier, but also the blood-retinal barrier to gain access into the eye. Both of these barriers are in place to protect these areas from potentially harmful substances present in the blood. Lastly, we need to find a carotenoid that doesn't cause any adverse effects to the eye once it crosses the Blood Retinal Barrier.
For example, the carotenoid, canthaxanthin, was found to cross the blood-retinal brain barrier and reach the retina. However, an undesirable side effect in individuals that ingested canthaxanthin at high doses for an extended time was the formation of crystalline canthaxanthin deposits in the inner layers of the retina. It decreases eye adaptation to the dark, and may take several years to dissolve those formed crystals.
Scientists therefore looked at which other carotenoids from our Human Serum were already located in the retina. Of the ten carotenoids found in human serum, only two, zeaxanthin and lutein, are found in the human retina. Zeaxanthin is the predominant carotenoid within the retina. Therefore, the eye preferentially assimilates zeaxanthin over lutein in the macula and also selectively concentrates zeaxanthin, which is a more effective free radical scavenger than lutein, in the center of the eye.
It was promising, because research shows that people who eat foods rich in Zeaxanthin, were found to have a 50% less chance to end up with cataracts.
However, there is no research that Zeaxanthin or lutein can actually reverse eye damage.
Well! At the clinical studies within the patent here, Astaxanthin, which has a molecular structure very similar to zeaxanthin, was able to successfully cross the Blood Brain Barrier, and the Blood Retinal Barrier. Although many of these eye diseases are considered untreatable, this study shows that the use of Astaxanthin not only has the potential to retard (stop and prevent) more eye damage from occurring in its tracks, but also it has the potential to ameliorate (help/improve upon) existing eye damage. I can list many animal and human studies here showing that Astaxanthin has the potential to help with cataracts, Age macular degeneration (AMD), Glaucoma, Diabetic retinopathy (DR), and much more. You can easily do a search on google to find many of them.
This research study goes on to say that Astaxanthin is a more effective antioxidant compared to all of the antioxidants we mentioned above and others that are very beneficial for the eyes, including zeaxanthin, lutein, canthaxanthin, B-carotene, Ascorbic Acid, Vitamin E, and α-tocopherol. In fact, it is known that the antioxidant power of Astaxanthin is at least 10 times more powerful than beta-carotene and carotenoids like lutein and zeaxanthin, and 100 times more powerful than beta-tocopherol (vitamin E).
So it seems that with the latest research, that Astaxanthin is our best chance in order to help improve our vision.
One customer actually wrote in touting how it helped heal her vision immensely. She writes:
"I have been taking this for 15 years and now I can do without correction in my right eye. A friend has had the same experience with it. I also never need sunscreen even on the Equator and can be taken by everybody from age 10 and up. It takes about a month to get fully into your system so if you want to start it, realize this."
So from her experience, it takes about a month to build up. In terms of safety, there are hundreds of studies on Astaxanthin, and not only does it cross the Blood Retina Barrier, it does not adversely affect the eye like canthaxanthin does.
So, we finally got our Astaxanthin back in stock, which is of the highest quality available. In fact, one of the most important things about our Astaxanthin, which I believe no other Astaxanthin on the market does, is that it uses a Botanical peroxidation blocker to increase stability so the Astaxanthin does not oxidize inside of the gelcap. I've chewed down on one of these caps before, and my brain went Bling, Bling! after taking it. It almost felt like I could feel better focus in my eyes.
Our Astaxanthin also uses a Natural CO2 Extraction method of Haematococcus pluvialis algae, uses Sunflower phospholipids as a carrier for superior absorption, and lastly uses natural non-GMO mixed tocopherols (vitamin E) and a proprietary spice extract.
I do believe that this Astaxanthin is the best most potent Algae Superfood one can take for their vision, and we've got it 'At-Cost' today for only $12.95 each when you get a 3-pack.
