Every day we subject our eyes to a host of enemies -- fluorescent lights, computer screens, sunlight, smoke, wind, pollen, dust, and free radicals. Still, nearly 25% of the population manages to reach 65 with relatively clear, focused vision and healthy, cataract-free eyes.

How? Research indicates that those who avoid eye problems receive a regular, plentiful supply of nutrients vital to healthy eyes. Without proper nourishment to help compensate for the damaging effects of daily living, however, the clarity, comfort, and strength of our vision could become compromised. Pamper your orbs with ORBITOL, a powerfully nutritive vision formula.

Rarely, do we give the health of our eyes much attention. A vivid sunset, a graceful dancer, or a lush garden might completely rivet our attention, but we seldom notice the sense of sight itself. Current research shows, however, that much can--and should--be done for our eyes. Just as the body requires calcium to maintain healthy bones, so do eye tissues need proper nutrition to help scavenge free radicals and to protect themselves by filtering out harmful ultraviolet radiation.

Drawing upon recent scientific discovery and classic herbalism, Neways has formulated Orbitol, a unique vision formula comprised of nutrients that healthy eyes might need for optimum health and enhanced visual function. The Orbitol formula is rich in vitamins and minerals, in both herbal forms and in scientifically isolated forms. Eyebright extract, for example, is a rich source of niacin, vitamin A, and riboflavin, and botanical bilberry extract contains levels of zinc, iron, and phosphorus. Beta carotene (which the body converts to vitamin A), zinc (which helps regulate vitamin A levels), and lutein (a carotenoid plentiful in spinach and kale) are also included in isolated forms.

These essential nutrients are believed to help the body control focus, maintain color vision, enhance peripheral vision, and adapt to diverse lighting conditions. Low levels of lutein may lead to increased free radical damage to the area of the eye responsible for focused vision, and might also weaken night vision. A deficiency of beta carotene may lead to distorted color vision or dry eyes, and zinc deficiency may lead to a lowered ability to adjust to low-light conditions.
