Comprehensive nutritional support for healthy vision
O2B Pro-Vision® combines antioxidant-rich botanical extracts, specialised eye-health carotenoids and essential vitamins and minerals to support normal vision, retinal health and long-term eye wellbeing.
Featuring bilberry, blackcurrant, lutein, zeaxanthin, eyebright, vitamin C, zinc, copper and selenium, this nine-ingredient formula provides complementary nutritional support for the eyes.
Particularly relevant as we age, O2B Pro-Vision® focuses on maintaining healthy eye tissues, protecting cells from oxidative stress and supporting the nutritional foundations of good vision.
Bilberry: anthocyanin-rich support for retinal wellbeing
Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus) is a European berry closely related to blueberries and naturally rich in anthocyanins, the plant pigments responsible for its deep purple colour.
Anthocyanins have attracted scientific interest for their antioxidant properties and potential influence on vascular function, including the small blood vessels that supply oxygen and nutrients to delicate tissues.
Bilberry has a long history of traditional use for eye health, particularly in relation to visual comfort and adaptation to changing light conditions.
O2B Pro-Vision® provides bilberry extract equivalent to 7,500 mg of bilberry, making it a prominent botanical ingredient in the formula.
Lutein and zeaxanthin: important pigments for the macula
The macula is a small, specialised region near the centre of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed central vision.
It contains concentrated amounts of two carotenoid pigments: lutein and zeaxanthin.
These pigments help filter some incoming high-energy visible light and contribute to the retina's antioxidant defences.
Unlike many nutrients, lutein and zeaxanthin cannot be manufactured by the body and must be obtained through food or supplementation.
O2B Pro-Vision® provides 10 mg of lutein from marigold extract and 1.875 mg of zeaxanthin extract, bringing together two complementary carotenoids associated with macular health.
New Zealand blackcurrant: complementary antioxidant support
Blackcurrants contain naturally occurring anthocyanins and other polyphenols that have been investigated for their antioxidant properties and potential effects on circulation.
The retina is a metabolically active tissue with a substantial oxygen requirement, making normal antioxidant protection particularly important.
O2B Pro-Vision® includes 175 mg of blackcurrant powder, complementing bilberry with an additional source of naturally occurring berry polyphenols.
Vitamin C: supporting delicate eye tissues
Vitamin C is an important water-soluble antioxidant found throughout the body, including in eye tissues.
It helps protect cells against oxidative stress and is essential for normal collagen formation.
Collagen contributes to the structure of many tissues, including blood vessels and connective tissues associated with the eyes.
Each capsule of O2B Pro-Vision® provides 125 mg of vitamin C to support normal tissue maintenance, antioxidant protection and immune function.
Eyebright: traditional herbal support for eye comfort
Eyebright (Euphrasia officinalis) has a long history of traditional European herbal use for the eyes and surrounding tissues.
The herb contains naturally occurring flavonoids and other botanical compounds that have contributed to its traditional reputation.
O2B Pro-Vision® includes 75 mg of eyebright as a complementary ingredient for general eye wellbeing, alongside its more extensively researched carotenoids and antioxidant nutrients.
Zinc: essential for normal vision
Zinc is particularly important for eye health because it contributes to normal vision and the metabolism of vitamin A.
Vitamin A is required to produce visual pigments involved in the eye's response to light, particularly under low-light conditions.
Zinc also participates in antioxidant enzyme systems and normal cellular maintenance.
O2B Pro-Vision® provides 7.5 mg of elemental zinc from zinc citrate, helping support normal vision and the nutritional requirements of healthy eye tissues.
Copper and selenium: complementary antioxidant minerals
Copper and selenium are essential trace minerals involved in the body's antioxidant defence systems.
Copper contributes to the activity of enzymes such as copper-zinc superoxide dismutase, which helps manage reactive oxygen species.
Selenium is required for the activity of several antioxidant enzymes, including glutathione peroxidases.
O2B Pro-Vision® provides 0.5 mg of copper and 12.5 mcg of selenium to complement vitamin C, zinc and the plant-derived antioxidants.
Supporting eye health as we age
Our eyes are continually exposed to light and have substantial metabolic demands, particularly within the retina.
Maintaining healthy vision depends on adequate nutrition, normal circulation, antioxidant protection and the integrity of specialised retinal tissues.
O2B Pro-Vision® brings together lutein and zeaxanthin for macular pigment support, bilberry and blackcurrant for plant-based antioxidants, and essential nutrients involved in normal vision and tissue maintenance.
It's a comprehensive nutritional formula for people wanting to support their eyes as part of a proactive approach to healthy ageing.
