EYEMAX-plus FAQs
Not sure about taking supplements? Why a total body formula, not just one for the eyes? The initial formulation was carefully created, refined and re-adjusted by Dr. Gary Price Todd, a pioneering ophthalmologist who was one of the first medical professionals to recognize the importance of supplements. Dr. Todd used his formula successfully for years to help his patients control myopia, farsightedness and other vision problems and to stabilize and improve eye diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma and macular degeneration. Dr. Todd monitored the blood levels of his patients over time to determine the proper levels necessary for each of the vitamins and minerals. Though first ostracized by the more conventional members of his profession, Dr. Todd's ideas and practices have been confirmed by modern research. Dr. Todd passed away a few years ago. In 2006, Dr. Robert Titcomb, a long time associate of Dr. Todd's, worked with Martin Sussman, president of the Cambridge Institute for Better Vision, to update Dr. Todd's formula (which was originally called Nutri-Plex). The original formula was left intact and additional nutrients were added. EYEMAX-plus now contains all the key ingredients known to be necessary for the health of the body and the eyes. EYEMAX-plus is the only comprehensive and balanced formula that treats the eyes and the body. It contains 33 carefully chosen ingredients, including the 19 most critically important vitamins and minerals. In fact, EYEMAX-plus contains 100% or more of the Minimum Daily Requirement of so many vitamins and minerals that the U.S. Government grants us permission to call it a High-Potency Formula, which, in fact, it truly is. EYEMAX-plus also contains all the popular eye-saving ingredients that people expect: bilberry, lutein, Zeaxanthin and L-Tuarine, for example. Here's a complete listing of ingredients:
It's amazing what some other companies will try to sell with their so-called vision supplements. For example, some might contain the "latest" ingredients that are good for the eyes - like bilberry, L-Taurine, lutein or zeaxanthin - but in such woefully small amounts that they are nearly useless to the eyes and body. And some supplements leave out other, even more important key ingredients, altogether. And still others pay little attention to achieving the delicate balance necessary so the right combination of vitamins, minerals and anti-oxidants work together to boost their individual effect. The quality of different supplements is not always the same either. Cheaper ingredients manufactured poorly can be sold at a lower price. But, are they any good? Here's a partial comparison of ingredients between EYEMAX-plus and Centrum, a popular daily multi-vitmain and mineral and Ocu-Guard, a popular formula for the eyes. Compare for yourself.
Not sure about taking supplements? Many people find the issue of supplements so confusing, they do the worst thing of all - they don't take any! And that's a mistake none of us can really afford to make. Or, some think that if they eat right, they'll get everything they need. But even if you eat a perfect diet (whatever that is - should it be high protein, low fat, vegetarian?) and eat all the fruits and vegetables you're supposed to, it's still nearly impossible to get all the trace minerals your body and eyes need. Why? Because modern farming methods have depleted the soil of important minerals such as selenium, manganese and vanadium. Even calcium and vitamin C are found in lower levels in fruits and vegetables now than 50 years ago. You could eat all organic fruits and vegetables, which have been shown to have higher levels of these important minerals and vitamins. But organic produce is often hard to find and costs much more. Certainly, some foods are better than others for the health of your eyes and your body. We do recommend eating as well as you possibly can. Even then, it's still extremely difficult, if not impossible, to confidently get all the nutrients you need from your diet alone. Why a total body formula, not jus an eye formula? I don't recommend that people take supplements just for their eyes. Here's why: When you take a supplement you can't magically tell it to go only to your eyes. Every single vitamin, mineral or herb that research indicates is beneficial to your eyesight also has benefits to other parts of your body. For example: Vitamin A is helpful for the eyes, but it also helps regulate the immune system, among other things. Vitamins C and E can prevent cataracts, but these vitamins also work against free radical damage throughout the entire body. Lutein is found in very high concentration in the eyes, but it's also found in the liver, heart and thyroid. You might be surprised to know that: You can't separate your eyes from the rest of your body. Nourish your body and you nourish your vision. The health of your body and the health and clarity of your eyes go hand in hand. You can't have a truly healthy body without also having healthy eyes, and you can't have healthy eyes without having a healthy body and nervous system.
