Vizuo XL Contains Lutein, Zeaxanthin, Bilberry and Many More Nutrients

Vizuo XL

Vizuo XL is a revolutionary and precise blend of 28 specific nutrients including lutein, zeaxanthin, and bilberry (please see the bottom of this page for a complete ingredient listing) that are scientifically proven to support healthy eyes and sports vision.  Some of the nutrients start working immediately to improve sports vision while others work over a period of time to support the proper health and function of your eyes and brain.  By taking them in one formula, the synergistic effect means that they work better together than if they were taken individually.  Vizuo XL works in three main ways:

1.  Supports and maintains the health and structural integrity of the eyes themselves by providing potent all-natural doctor recommended nutrients of the highest quality.

2. This is where it gets really interesting and exciting, as most people are not aware that there is a second part to "seeing".  The other half of vision deals with what happens after the eyes gather visual input.  Specifically, we are talking about the transfer of visual information from the retina to the brain via the optic nerve and then the actual processing of this information so that the human body reacts to these visual stimuli and ultimately moves in a certain way.  Vizuo XL will speed the processing of this visual data and enable the athlete to react lightning fast to what they see on the playing field.

3.  Facilitates the learning and development of motor skills during sport specific training so that they become part of your "muscle memory".

It is widely believed that for an athlete to reach an elite level of performance, he or she must practice for thousands of hours over the course of many years.  If an athlete can accelerate the learning curve and reduce the time needed to develop and perfect the motor skills required for their particular sport, then they would enjoy tremendous advantages over their competitors.  Vizuo XL can help with exactly this.  (We are going to delve into a little science in the next paragraph, but please bear with us as it is extremely important).

Vizuo XL will improve motor-coordination and the development of sport-specific skills by up-regulating the voltage-dependent anion channel (a small pore-forming protein on the outer membrane of cellular mitochondria), which can increase synaptic plasticity and facilitate the long-term potentiation (LTP) of neurons.  The synapse is a specialized junction between two neurons that allows them to communicate with each other.  Synaptic plasticity is the ability of the synapse to change in strength, and is widely accepted by neuroscientists as being crucial for memory and the learning process.

DVAC - Dynamic Visual Acuity Complex ™

Only found in Vizuo XL, this proprietary blend of Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Gingko Biloba Extract, and Vinpocetine helps with the second part of "seeing" that was mentioned above.  DVAC™ helps maintain proper blood circulation throughout the small capillaries of the eye and boosts certain neurotransmitters such as dopamine and acetylcholine, which help the brain process visual information more quickly and then send the necessary nerve impulses to the muscles with a strong signal.  This allows the body to move with the speed, precision, agility, and coordination that is crucial if you want to be a successful athlete.

Lutein

Lutein is a carotenoid, found in dark green leafy vegetables such as spinach, plus various fruits and corn. Egg yolks are also a good source of lutein.  It is a remarkable antioxidant which helps reduce the risk of macular degeneration by filtering out harmful rays of sunlight which can induce oxidative stress and damage the eyes.  Medical studies prove its remarkable safety and effectiveness.

Zeaxanthin

Zeaxanthin is a carotenoid which gives vegetables their yellow pigment.  It is found in high concentrations in the macula of the eye.  The macula of the eye is responsible for fine vision.  Zeaxanthin can help protect against cataracts and macular degeneration by functioning as a potent antioxidant.

Bilberry

Bilberry is the name given to several species of low-growing shrubs in the genus Vaccinium (family Ericaceae) that bears tasty fruits.  Closely related to blueberry, bilberry has potent antioxidant properties and was reportedly used by British Royal Air Force pilots in World War II to enhance their “night vision” during bombing raids.  The reason for this is that bilberry contains anthocyanosides which increase the regeneration rate of rhodopsin, a purple pigment essential for helping the rods in the eye adapt to light and dark.  Athletes who play at night under artificial lighting will experience enormous benefits from bilberry.

Lycopene

Lycopene is a carotenoid in the same family as beta carotene, which gives a tomato, and several other fruits, their deep red color.  It is an antioxidant and may help prevent DNA damage.

Citrus Bioflavonoids

Citrus Bioflavonoids are located in the white material just beneath the peel of citrus fruits and may be found in grapefruits, lemons, tangerines, limes and oranges.  They are potent antioxidants and help with the absorption of Vitamin C and are also believed to boost its efficacy.  They are also believed to preserve the structure and strength of capillaries.  As the eye contains many of these small blood vessels, citrus bioflavonoids are an important part of a healthy vision maintenance program.

Eyebright

Eyebright (Euphrasia officinalis) is a European wild plant that gets its name because it has been used since the Middle Ages to treat many common eye disorders such as conjunctivitis, hay fever, stye, tired eyes, irritation, and blepharitis (inflammation of the eyelids).

Beta-Carotene

Beta Carotene functions as an antioxidant by neutralizing free radicals.  It is what gives certain fruits and vegetables their distinct colors.  Beta-carotene can be found in concentrated amounts in a variety of foods including sweet potatoes, carrots, kale, spinach, turnip greens, winter squash, collard greens, cilantro, fresh thyme, cantaloupe, romaine lettuce and broccoli.  Beta-Carotene can convert, as needed by the body, into Vitamin A, which is required by the photoreceptors of the retina for proper function.

Grape Seed Extract

Grape Seed Extract is a potent antioxidant which prevents the oxidation of LDL cholesterol, making it less likely to stick to the surface of blood vessels.  It promotes eye health by reducing the risk of macular degeneration and cataracts.

N-Acetyl Cysteine

N-Acetyl Cysteine is an amino acid that is formed when the amino cysteine is joined to an acetyl group.  It functions as a strong antioxidant that directly scavenges free radicals and also helps the body replenish Glutathione.  Glutathione is an even more powerful antioxidant which detoxifies chemicals within the body.  Glutathione is found in high concentrations in the lens of the eye, where it helps to neutralize damaging hydroxyl radicals.

CoQ10

CoQ10 is a naturally occurring nutrient found in every cell of the body.  It functions as a potent antioxidant and is a staple of many life-extensionist's nutritional programs.  Levels of Coenzyme Q10 decline rapidly as we age, and supplementing with this important nutrient can replenish low levels.  Not only has it been used for vision support, many studies have focused on its benefit involving cardiovascular disease, diabetes, low energy, and neurological disorders.

Selenium

Selenium is a trace mineral which is an essential component of the enzyme Glutathione Peroxidase, which is critical for good health.

Alpha Lipoic Acid

Alpha Lipoic Acid is known as the “universal antioxidant”, it improves health by detoxifying harmful chemicals in the body.  It also works by enhancing and regenerating other antioxidants like Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and Glutathione.
