Visionace
Plus is a comprehensive, researched based nutritional combination to
help maintain healthy eyes and vision. The dual pack combines the
original Visionace formula whichincludes important
antioxidant nutrients such as natural mixed carotenoids (betacarotene,
alphacarotene, cryptoxanthin, zeaxanthin and lutein), vitamin C and
citrus bioflavonoids, plus an additional Omega 3 capsule with extra
lutein and zeaxanthin. Research shows these may help maintain the
health of the retina and lens, which can be damaged over the years by
sunlight and smoke.
|
| When is Visionace Plus recommended? |
|
Visionace
Plus is recommended for all those who wish to help maintain the long
term health of their eyes. It is also ideal for contact lens wearers,
or those working long hours at the computer screen.
|
| How pure is the fish oil in Visionace Plus? |
|
Only the purest pharmaceutical grade fish oil produced in Norway has been used in Visionace
Plus capsules. To ensure maximum benefit the oil is carefully
concentrated to increase its DHA and EPA content and further purified.
Each batch is rigorously tested, certified and fully compliant with
stringent EC.
and WHO rules on environmental pollutants.
|
| Will Visionace Plus help with conditions such as Glaucoma and 'Floaters'? |
|
No. Visionace
Plus is a food supplement formulated to help maintain the general
health of the eye and in particular, the lens and the retina. It will
have no direct benefit on conditions such as glaucoma and floaters, but
Visionace Plus may still be used to help maintain other important
aspects of eye health. The orginal Visionace tablet in Visionace
Plus has been found to be of benefit to help maintain normal eye
moisture . Therefore, it may be useful for contact lens users, or those
using VDU's who have a reduced blink rate. Antioxidant nutrients may
also be of benefit in protecting the macula, which is the region of the
retina which allows detailed vision, but may be subject to free radical
damage as we age. Visionace Plus contains antioxidants and natural mixed
carotenoids, which help maintain the integrity of the macula, in
particular carotenoids such as lutein and zeaxanthin. Scientific
evidence has shown that antioxidants such as vitamin C, may also play a
role in protecting the lens of the eye.
|
| Can Visionace Plus be used simultaneously with medications? |
|
Generally, Visionace Plus may be used alongside medications, because it contains only moderate levels of vitamins and minerals. For specific
advice on taking Visionace Plus with medicines, we recommend that you contact your doctor or pharmacist first.
|
| Will Visionace Plus have any effect on lens prescriptions required in long and short sightedness and astigmatism? |
| How and when should Visionace Plus be used? |
|
One Tablet and one Omega 3 capsule per day is recommended, with or
immediately after your main meal, with a full glass of water or a cold
drink. Taking the dose with a large meal maximises the absorption of
the nutrients and can reduce nausea, which is sometimes experienced if
multivitamins are taken on an empty stomach. Visionace Plus should only be taken on a full stomach. Always ensure that Visionace Plus is taken with plenty of liquid ,
and not tea or coffee, as this may cause the tablet and capsule to disintegrate too early.

|
| How long does it take to experience any benefit? |
|
Results
vary amongst individuals, but in most cases, we would expect the
beneficial effects of the vitamins and minerals in Visionace
Plus to build over several weeks, with noticeable results in one to
three months. There is no maximum length of time over which Visionace Plus may be
used. A regular intake is recommended.
|
| Is Visionace Plus suitable for vegetarians? |
|
No Visionace
Plus is not suitable for vegetarians as it contains a fish oil capsule.
Adults can obtain DHA and EPA indirectly through the conversion of the
essential fatty acid alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), present in vegetable
oils such as linseed but this process is very inefficient. Visionace Plus contains fish oil as it provides a much more reliable, direct source of DHA, EPA and AA.
