Patient One VisiOmega is a science-based, comprehensive formula designed to protect the health of the eye’s macula and delicate photoreceptor cells while optimizing visual performance and eye comfort. VisiOmega builds upon a foundation of US government-studied eye antioxidants, plus includes further support for eye health with Omega 3 fish oil and a proprietary Ocular Antioxidant Blend. VisiOmega supplies powerful antioxidants, vitamins and minerals in doses that have been clinically validated for their role in protecting and supporting the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp vision.
Key Ingredients
Lutein, Zeaxanthin and Lycopene are xanthophyll antioxidant carotenoids that migrate to the eye, where they replenish macular pigment that promotes peak eye health and visual performance. Lutein acts as “internal sunglasses” that shield the macula from damaging blue light. Zeaxanthin helps to fight oxidative stress in the retina. VisiOmega supplies lutein as FloraGLO, the lutein brand chosen by the National Eye Institute for use in the AREDS2 study.(2) Lycopene supports restored glutathione levels and protects against oxidative stress.
Patient One’s proprietary Ocular Antioxidant Blend contains a botanical complex with high potency, bioavailable antioxidants. It supplies sight-protective nutrients including taurine, glycine and alpha lipoic acid plus carotenoid antioxidants from bilberry, eyebright, N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine and others. These eye compounds may reduce eye fatigue while promoting flash blindness recovery, depth perception, night vision, light-to-dark adaptation including adaptatation to dimly lit spaces, and high-resolution vision.
Omega 3 Fish Oil contains docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and ecosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which are found in high concentrations in the retina where they are important structural components of photoreceptors. The critical role of DHA in normal retinal function is well documented. Omega 3s also support a healthy inflammatory response, optimize retinal phototransduction, and may down-regulate growth factors associated with eye problems.
C, E, Zinc, Selenium and Copper are vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, studied by the National Eye Institute, that have been found to reduce risk of age-related vision issues. It has been concluded that a combination of zinc and antioxidants rather than zinc alone should provide a safer and more effective way to improve eye health.
