Vision Essentials and Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)



Bios Life Vision Essentials™
Maintain Optimal Eye Health
Made in USA by Unicity International.


Bios Life Vision Essentials™ is a powerful antioxidant formulation designed to protect the eyes from damaging free radicals and to support healthy vision. This potent formula is based on the ground-breaking National Institutes
of Health’s (NIH) AREDS I and AREDS II studies, where it is found that a combination of antioxidants helps delay the onset of Age-Related Macular Degeneration.

In addition to many of the antioxidants included in this study, Bios Life Vision Essentials™ also includes a berry blend that is high in polyphenols, a special group of antioxidants found in fruits and vegetables.

INGREDIENT INFORMATION

Vitamin C – A water-soluble antioxidant found in fresh fruits and vegetables. Although many mammals can produce vitamin C, humans must obtain their vitamin C from their diet.

Vitamin E – A fat-soluble antioxidant that helps prevent the production of reactive oxygen species formed when fat undergoes oxidation.

Vitamin A – A group of fat soluble antioxidants found in colorful fruits and vegetables. In carrots, this antioxidant is responsible for their bright orange color.

Zinc – Over 100 enzymes are dependent on this trace mineral for their ability to catalyze reactions in the body. Zinc is found in red meats, wheat, celery, beans and almonds.

Lutein – Derived from marigolds, this antioxidant is responsible for the plant’s rich color. The discovery by scientists that lutein is found in high concentrations in the eye led to studies to determine how lutein supplementation affects eye health.

Zeaxanthin – Like lutein, zeaxanthin is found in high concentrations in the eye relative to other parts of the body. Zeaxanthin is a major component of the central macula, while lutein is a major component of the peripheral retina. Zeaxanthin is responsible for paprika’s bright red color.

Bios Life® Berry Blend – An antioxidant rich berries blend that includes blueberry, strawberry, cranberry, billberry, elderberry and raspberry which is high in polyphenols that help to support healthy vision and to neutralize free radicals


FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q. What is Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)?

A. AMD is a disease associated with aging that gradually destroys sharp, central vision. Central vision is needed for seeing objects clearly and for common daily tasks such as reading and driving. AMD affects the macula, the part of the eye that allows us to see fine detail. AMD causes no pain. In some cases, AMD advances so slowly that people notice little change in their vision. In others, the disease progresses faster and may lead to a loss of vision in both eyes. The Eye Diseases Prevalence Research Group (EDPRG) attributes AMD as the major cause of blindness among elderly people of European ancestry.

Q. What can I do to protect my vision?
A. Along with consulting with a physician, we recommend the following:

1. Take a supplement, like Bios Life Vision Essentials™ based on the AREDS I and II studies.
2. Take a Salmon omega-3 fatty acid supplement
3. Avoid lots of direct sunlight, or use uv protected lenses when out in the sun.
4. Rest your eyes

Q. I’ve heard a lot about lutein in eye health. What is it and why is it good for your eyes?
A. Lutein is a fat-soluble carotenoid found in the lens and macula lutea of the eye. Lutein is able to filter blue light and act as an antioxidant. Blue light and reactive oxygen species are believe
to contribute to the loss of vision.

Lutein supplementation has also been found to improve visual functions: better photostress glare recovery, contrast sensitivity and visual acuity.

To aid in understanding the significance of this, imagine driving down the freeway at night and staring at the light of an oncoming car’s headlights. This bright light creates glare and makes it
hard to make out details. Taking lutein will make it easier to read street signs and recover sooner from the bright glare of a headlight.

Bioslife Vision Essentials is the latest upgrade to the older versions of Visutein and Biltein Vision.

Your stools are your warning lights and sounds




Your stools

Question #1: How long does it take you to have a bowel movement?
Less than 60 seconds or More than two minutes

Answer: Healthy bowel movements happen within 60 seconds of sitting on the toilet. The stool should easily come out without straining, grunting or any discomfort. It should have the consistency of toothpaste.

If you have time to read a newspaper while sitting on the toilet, you probably have a problem with constipation or poor bowel health.

Question #2: What is the shape of your stool?Long like a banana round, hard pellets thin, pencil-shaped.

Answer: Healthy stool averages about four to six inches long and are shaped like a banana or a torpedo.

Very narrow, pencil-shaped stool is a sign your colon walls are impacted or you have polyps or growths on the inside of your colon or rectum. This causes the stool to squeeze to get through.

Stress can also create narrow stool.

Hard, round or pellet-shaped stool is a possible sign of poor liver function, lack of exercise, dehydration or constipation.

Question #3: Is your stool accompanied by foul odor?
- Yes - No

Answer: Gas or odor is a sign of a bacterial imbalance in yourintestinal flora. The "bad" bacteria release foul-smelling gases and toxins that can cramp your colon and create embarrassing odors.

You can eliminate this odor by removing debris and encrusted faeces from the walls of your intestines and restoring the balance in your intestinal flora.

Question #4: What color is your stool?
- Yellow - Green - Brown -Gray - Black - Bright red

According to Mayo Clinic research, all shades of brown and even green are considered normal stool colors. And the foods you eat can affect the color of your stool.

For example, beets, tomato juice, blueberries, popsicles and green leafy vegetables can affect your stool color. However, a distinct change in stool color can be a warning sign for health problems.

Yellow - colored stool indicates your food is moving too quickly through your digestive tract as in the case of diarrhoea.

If stool is greasy or foul-smelling, it may indicate excess fat caused by mal-absorption of nutrients.

Green - colored stool means your food isn't properly being processed through your intestines. As a result, bile isn't broken down and gives your stool that green color. Green stool can also mean you're eating too much sugar, fruits and vegetables and not enough grains or salt.

Gray or ashy colored stool indicates undigested fats or heavy use of prescription or over-the-counter drugs that contain aluminum hydroxide. It can also indicate a lack of bile in the stool that may be caused by a bile duct obstruction.

Black stool is a serious warning sign for bleeding in the upper gastro intestinal tract, possibly the stomach.

Bright red stool may indicate bleeding in the lower intestinal tract, possibly the large intestine or rectum. Haemorrhoids may also be the source of the bleeding.

Question #5: Do you pass gas while you're having a bowel movement or have you noticed air or bubbles in your stool?
- Yes - No

Answer: Air or bubbles in stool can indicate an intestinal inbalance. Gas producing bacteria may be overgrowing and competing with the healthier flora in your gut.

Please know this: A normal bowel movement happens within 60 seconds of sitting on the toilet. There should be no straining, pain, bleeding or foul odor accompanied with your bowel movements. And wiping afterwards should be easy and simple, using just one or two pieces of toilet paper!

If that's not your experience in the bathroom, then you need to give your intestines a thorough internal cleansing and detoxing using Unicity’s ClearStart30.
