Nutrition for your eyes
is a particularly delicate balance of the right nutrients at the right levels for the right purpose.  Precision counts. It begins by laying a strong foundation for your best health.

Your eyes are fragile and complex, yet we expect them to work under incredible conditions.  We rely on our vision more than any other sense we have.  They're assaulted daily by pollution and dust, sunlight, poor diet, stress, and strain that can generate damaging molecules known as "free radicals**."

Right Ingredients
The entire family of Fortifeye™ products has been created by doctors who understand that quality counts.  Each nutrient was chosen based on the highest manufacturing standards and uptake ability by the body (called bioavailability).  Our fish oils are micro-distilled and cold pressed to maintain nutritional integrity.  Our vitamin A is 100% beta carotene, and our vitamin E is d-alpha-tocopheryl succinate, the only type the body can readily utilize.  We also understand that quality counts too.  The amounts we include in each formulation are the same used in numerous clinical studies: not so much, that it is wasted, and doesn't benefit your body.

Right Science
All of our products are formulated with specific nutrients to promote proper vision and whole body health without the controversial "mega-dosing" of certain ingredients.  Rather than trendy nutrients, we have focused on what works and developed a unique combination of synergistically blended whole foods, phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and essentially fatty acids for maximum benefit.  We have built upon the best previous science and added the best current science.

Right For You
Whether you simply want the best whole body supplement available, or need to combine it to combat macular degeneration or dry eye syndrome, Fortifeye™ is for you.  We offer products that take advantage of the latest research and can be used alone or together to achieve your overall nutritional needs.  Ask your doctor what Fortifeye™ products are right for you.

Fortifeye™ Complex

Think of our exclusive Fortifeye™ Complex as your first line of defense. 

Lycopene:  Known as the compound that gives tomatoes their red color, important research suggests this powerful antioxidant may reduce the risk of macular degeneration.*

Lutein:  Found naturally in green leafy vegetables, and other natural sources, this potent antioxidant nutrient is sorely lacking in the typical American diet.  Lutein has been shown in landmark clinical studies to increase macular pigment density which may promote macular health.

Bilberry:  In several studies, bilberry was shown to improve visual acuity at night as well as shortening the time to adapt to dark conditions and recover from glare -- important for light-sensitive individuals during nighttime driving.*

Grape Seed Extract:  Used extensively in Europe, grape seed extract is rich in flavonoids, compounds that have antioxidant properties some consider even greater than vitamin C and vitamin E.  Beyond their antioxidant powers, it is thought to improve blood circulation and help strengthen blood vessels.*

Curcumin:  Naturally occurring in Turmeric, this  compound is in curry spice.  Curcumin is known for its anti-inflammatory, chemoprotective, antioxidant, anti-amyloid and anti-VEGF (anti-vascular endothelial growth factor) properties.  Studies indicate this compound may be beneficial in inflammatory diseases in the eye and may prove to be effective in slowing down certain types of cataracts.  New studies indicate it may
decrease chances of developing dementia.

Green Tea:  EGCG, a key antioxidant found in Green tea, is thought to support retinal health and work particularly well when in presence of vitamin E.  According to researchers at Univ. Kansas, EGCG is 100x more powerful as an antioxidant than vitamin C and 25x more powerful than vitamin E.  EGCG may also inhibit the formation of new blood vessels (anti-VEGF); this may prove to be useful in supporting retinal health.*

Resveratrol:  Resveratrol is found in red wine, grape vines, grape skin and walnuts.  Resveratrol can also inhibit the formation of new blood vessels (anti-VEGF).  This may prove to be useful in supporting retinal health.  New studies indicate it may help increase lifespan.

Zeaxanthin:  Scientists believe this nutrient, in combination with Lutein, helps filter out dangerous "blue" light, helping to maintain the photoreceptor and retinal health.

Kale, Spinach and Blueberry Complex:  Research has shown that increasing intake of dark green leafy vegetables and dark berries may reduce the risk of macular degeneration and cataracts.

Selenium:  This trace mineral is used by nearly every cell in our body and its antioxidant properties have been linked in clinical studies to improved eye health.*

"Current studies show that certain nutrients can actually slow or stop the development of unwanted blood vessels (called vascular endothelial growth factor, or "VEGF").  Therefore, nutrients with anti-VEGF properties such as Green tea, Resveratol, Turmeric, and Soy isoflavones are tremendously important for overall ocular health, particularly for diabetics or patients with macular degeneration."

:"Research suggests that taking supplemental Lutein and Zeaxathin may help out the dangerous blue light and aid in protection macular health."

Right For You   For adults experiencing dry       eyes or at risk for dry eyes       or having dry eye symptoms       due to a recent or upcoming       procedure.   Two easy to swallow soft gels,
