Yung Kien Eye+

Maintaining Visual Functions through Replenishment of Eye-care Nutrients

While the eyes are one of our most vital organs, their wellbeing is more often than not neglected by many. The great majority of us tend to accept degenerating visual functions as something normal as we age, let alone even think of them as being potentially life-threatening.

The hard fact is: this mindset is a common fallacy. If you started relying on a pair of glasses to correct your eyesight since a young age, just imagine how much inconvenience you have to live with for the rest of your life. Worse yet, it is almost inevitable that failure in taking good care of your eyes could adversely impair your visual functions and even lead to blindness. Can you really imagine yourself being blind one day?

Following our increasing health awareness, we know that fruit and vegetables contain a great number of important vegetal nutrients, including nutritive substances that are rich in antioxidants, which protect the body cells against the oxidative harm of free radicals.

Nutritional components that are of exceptional help in protecting the visual cells include: Lutein, Zeaxanthin, Anthocyanin, Polyphenol, and Beta Carotene. Besides, the active constituents of Lingzhi, vitamins A, C, E, and some minerals also exhibit remarkable efficacy in curbing premature ageing of the retina.

We have just mentioned that the nutrients above are food-based. Since we are unable to assimilate enough of these eye-care nutrients through our normal food intake, we have to replenish them through food supplements.

Food Supplement for the Eyes

Lutein and Zeaxanthi
Lutein and Zeaxanthin are nutrients that coexist in the macula of the cornea. They are the derivatives of carotinoid extracted from Flora Glo Lutein. They shoulder the responsibility of absorbing the blue rays and UV rays from the sunlight, serving to protect the macula and at the same time augment the antioxidant capabilities of the visual cells.

The Lutein contained in Yung Kien Eye+ is extracted from Marigold, in the purest form, through advanced technology. As the extraction and refining process is activated when the nutrient is in its crystal phase, it features a much higher assimilation rate by the human body compared with an ordinary source of Lutein. A 20-year clinical research work has proven that Lutein and Zeaxanthin are indispensably needed by the eye’s retina and lens.

Blackcurrant
Blackcurrant Extract contains up to four types of natural Polyphenol in addition to offering a rich supply of vitamin C and minerals. It contains a special group of bluish purple pigments called Anthocyanins, which is is extremely beneficial to the eyes, as it is capable of subduing the onset of pseudo myopia, a condition caused by extended hours of working in front of the computer (excess straining of the eyes).

Apart from encouraging blood circulation in the capillaries of the eyeballs. It also helps promote visual functions at night, such as enhancing our eyesight when driving after nightfall. As an excellent antioxidant nutrient, it contributes to protecting the visual cells against the attack of free radicals, apart from promoting blood flow to the extremities to improve the condition of cold limbs.

Bilberry
With a content of more than 15 types of Anthocyanins, Bilberry Extract is 50 times more powerful than vitamin E as an antioxidant and hence a natural patron saint to protect the eyes. These are powerful antioxidants capable of exterminating free radicals to safeguard the visual cells in the retina, protect the blood vessels and promote blood circulation to enhance visual sharpness.

Natural Astaxanthin
Derived from deep-sea silicate algae, Natural Astaxanthin has been found through extensive research to be an antioxidant 1,000 times more powerful than vitamin E and hence is extremely helpful in improving the conditions of pain in the eyes caused by excessive intraocular pressure, blurred vision, and double images among working group and students who have to strain their eyes focusing at the computer screen or blackboard for long hours.

Besides, it also protects the visual cells against the attacks of free radicals to help retard the ageing process of the eyes. Moreover, it contributes to the wellbeing of the cardiovascular system apart from protecting the skin, such as subduing the participation of melanin, countering the formation of wrinkles, etc.

Wolfberry
Wolfberry Extract is a concentrated extract of the traditional Chinese herb Wolfberry, which offers a rich supply of Zeaxanthin, Betaine, vitamins B1 & B2, nicotinic acid, iron, etc. According to Shen Nong’s Herbal Classic, Wolfberry is capable of “nourishing the kidneys, moistening the lungs, and enhancing the acuity of vision”.

Clinical experiments have also led to the discovery that Wolfberry is remarkable in enriching the blood and fortifying the liver functions, making it a wonderful source of nutrients to improve the conditions of declining eyesight and night blindness.

Ganoderma
Lingzhi is incorporated for its efficacy in “improving eyesight, calming the nerves, invigorating the qi, reinforcing the liver, and enhancing mental faculty”, as recorded in ancient herbal books.

Other Antioxidant Nutrients
Yung Kien Eye+ is also enriched with Beta-carotene, vitamins A, C, E, B1, B2, and B6, in addition to Zinc, Selenium, and various valuable nutrients, offering powerful antioxidant actions to synergistically protect the visual cells.

It is true that we are able to assimilate some of the above nutrients through our daily diet. However, relying on our 3 meals a day alone for the supply of eye-care nutrients is far from enough to help ward off the threat of short-sightedness, diabetes-related retinal lesion, cataract, and macular degeneration.

In the final analysis, preventing the degeneration of the visual functions can be achieved provided that the essential eye-care nutrients are sufficiently replenished. In this area, as Yung Kien Eye+ offers a full spectrum of nutrients needed by the eyes, it is indisputably the perfect food supplement to be included into our eye-care regimen.

Recommended Consumption
The eyes are the windows of our soul. They certainly deserve good care that should begin as early as we can. For the purpose of protecting our visual functions, especially in preventing the ageing of our eyes, regular consumption of 2 ~ 4 packets of Yung Kien Eye+ daily is recommended.
