AstaVision
Eye Fatigue.... more commonly known as tired eyes or eye strain is becoming more a part of our lives and culture as the use of computers grow and dominate both at work and leisure. Without realizing it we have all experienced eye fatigue at some point in our lives. We may have noticed that after long hours of driving, watching TV, reading, playing video games or computer use&.our eyes get tired. The symptoms of tired eyes include sensitivity to glare, headaches, sore eyes, stiff shoulders, blurred vision and more.
Why do we suffer from Eye Fatigue?
The human eye is a remarkable organ and vision a precious sense, yet seemingly harmless daily activities can affect the quality of our sight. There is a small muscle in the eye known as the ciliary body. This muscle is responsible for controlling the lens of the eye. Like any other muscle in our body if we overwork this tiny muscle, we will feel discomfort or pain along with other symptoms of tired eyes.
Nine Human Clinical Studies support&
AstaREAL?astaxanthin has been shown through research to improve eye fatigue nine human clinical studies1 9 show the positive effects of AstaREAL on reducing eye fatigue, including improved visual function and accommodation time as well as reduced eye strain. Subjective surveys within the studies also confirm the improvement of bleary eye and irritation. Because computer use has become such a major part of our lives both at work and home several of the studies were performed on subjects that operated computers for long periods of time each day.*
Interestingly enough, two other human clinical studies10,11 show the endurance and recovery time of muscles following exercise. You may ask what this has to do with your eyes? Well, the ciliary body is like any other muscle in t"e body only much smaller and used for the fine movement of the lens in our eye. So, AstaREAL will support and improve your endurance while jogging or operating your computer.*
AstaREAL, the trademark of Fuji Chemical Industry Co., Ltd., is harvested from the single cell microalgae, Haematococcus pluvialis, which is grown in AstaREAL??s proprietary and protected BioSystems in Maui, Hawaii or Gustavsberg, Sweden. In these systems the algae is protected from environmental pollutants and temperature changes, assuring absolute purity and the highest quality.
