PRODUCT DETAILS

Visionace Max

Visionace Max provides the maximum support in the Visionace range, combining the Visionace Original multinutrient tablets with high quality Omega-3 capsules containing additional Lutein Esters and Zeaxanthin, in a convenient dual pack.

Visionace tablets include a comprehensive range of micronutrients, including vitamins A, B2 and zinc which contribute to the maintenance of normal vision.

The importance of Omega-3 fatty acids

Omega-3 fatty acids are a special class of polyunsaturated fatty acids which are commonly found in plant seed oils, nut oils and oily fish such as sardines and salmon. A large number of scientific studies worldwide have highlighted the multiple benefits of dietary Omega-3 fatty acids in areas as diverse as heart, brain, and normal vision. The two most researched Omega-3 fatty acids are Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) and Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal vision¹.

The role of DHA in the retina

Omega-3 fatty acids play an important structural and functional role in the retina, the part of the eye that detects light. DHA is a component of photoreceptor cells which are responsible for converting light into nerve signals. Photoreceptors contain the highest concentration of DHA of any cell in the body, with DHA accounting for over 50% of the total fatty acid content2 3. Adequate levels of DHA must be maintained for the retina to continue to function properly and to maintain normal vision)4 5.

The retinal cells are continually being renewed, so a constant supply of Omega-3 fatty acids and in particular DHA is required6 7. Since these cannot be made by the body, a lack of these in the diet can have a direct effect on levels in the retina8. Fortunately increasing dietary intake can help to restore retinal Omega-3 levels9. Omega-3 fatty acids are now being recognised as being essential for normal eye health from before birth continuing into old age10.

Lutein Esters

Lutein makes up the dominant pigment in the retina which absorbs visible blue light. Visionace Max provides a combined total of 34mg of Lutein Esters.

Zeaxanthin

Zeaxanthin is a structural component of the macular which is the central area of the retina, containing the highest density of photoreceptors.

Zeaxanthin cannot be made in the body, so must come from dietary sources, such as eggs, broccoli and spinach, as well as spirulina which can be added to smoothies.

Protection of cells

The photoreceptors in the retina are particularly vulnerable to the effects of UV rays in sunlight which can result in cellular damage11 12. Because of this, sunglasses with a high Eye-Sun Protection Factor (E-SPF) are always recommended to reduce the exposure of the eye to excessive light and harmful UV rays.

Visionace Max provides vitamins C and E, plus zinc and selenium which contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

Quality and Purity Guaranteed

Only the purest pharmaceutical grade fish oil is used in Visionace Max. 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.

General health and wellbeing

Visionace Max is a comprehensive formula that replaces other multivitamin supplements. The formula includes folic acid plus vitamins B12 and B2 which contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, as well as iron which supports normal oxygen transport in the body and has a role in the process of cell division.

1The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250mg of DHA.

Visionace Plus FAQ

Why has Visionace Max been developed?

Visionace Max is a comprehensive, researched based nutritional combination with specific nutrients which contribute to the maintenance of normal vision. The dual pack contains Visionace Original tablets which contain vitamins A and B2, plus zinc which supports normal vision, and high purity Omega-3 DHA capsules with extra Lutein and Zeaxanthin. The Omega-3 fatty acid Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) found in the marine oil capsules also contributes to the maintenance of normal vision.*

*The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg of DHA.

When is Visionace Max recommended?

Visionace Max is recommended for those who wish to support the maintenance of their normal vision. It is ideal for contact lens wearers, or those working long hours at a computer screen.

How pure is the fish oil in Visionace Max?

Only the purest pharmaceutical grade fish oil produced in Norway has been used in Visionace Max 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.

Can Visionace Max help with conditions such as Glaucoma and 'Floaters'?

No. Visionace Max is a food supplement formulated with specific nutrients to help contribute to the maintenance of normal vision. It will have no direct benefit on conditions such as glaucoma and floaters. Specific nutrients in the formula such as vitamin C and E plus, copper, manganese, selenium and zinc contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

Can Visionace Max be used simultaneously with medications?

Generally, Visionace Max may be used alongside medication, as it contains only moderate levels of vitamins and minerals and is free from drugs or hormones. For specific advice on taking Visionace Max with medicines, please contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Will Visionace Max have any effect on lens prescriptions required in long and short sightedness and astigmatism?

No, Visionace Max will not have any effect.

How many tablets and capsules does one pack of Visionace Max contain?

Visionace Max contains 28 multivitamin tablets and 28 Omega-3 capsules. Take one tablet and one capsule per day.

How and when should Visionace Max be used?

One multivitamin tablet and one Omega-3 capsule per day is recommended with or immediately after your main meal, with 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 Max should only be taken on a full stomach. Always ensure that Visionace Max is taken with plenty of cold liquid, not tea or coffee, as this may cause the tablet and capsule to disintegrate too early.

Is Visionace Max suitable for vegetarians?

Please see nutritional information

Are there any undesired effects whilst taking Visionace Max?

Visionace Max has no known side-effects when taken as directed. Do not exceed the recommended tablet/capsule intake. In case of overdose, seek medical advice immediately.

What are the active ingredients?

Please see nutritional information

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 Max to build over several weeks, with noticeable results in one to three months. There is no maximum length of time over which Visionace Max may be used, however, a regular intake is recommended.

Difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules is fairly common - do you have any advice?

Difficulty in swallowing tablets or capsules is quite a common experience. Vitabiotics have researched this extensively, trying different methods, and hope that our tips will help you swallow tablets or capsules with ease. The usual advice for those who have difficulty in swallowing tablets, is to break the tablets into 2-3 pieces, before swallowing with plenty of liquid. For capsules (which contain liquid), and in cases where people have more difficulty in swallowing tablets we recommend after chewing some food (e.g. banana), just before you swallow, pop the tablet or capsule into your mouth and swallow it together with the chewed food, followed by some liquid. The throat opens up wider automatically to swallow the chewed food and hence the tablet or capsule should go down with greater ease. Alternatively the tablet or capsule may be swallowed with thicker liquids such as yoghurts or smoothies. We hope these tips are of help.

Some Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) levels are above 100%, is this safe?

Certain vitamins are very safe at levels tens or even hundreds of times the NRV, whereas for others the safety level is much closer to the NRV. For this reason every vitamin and mineral needs to considered on an individual basis in terms of its upper safe level.

The Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) is the amount of a vitamin or mineral which has been calculated to help prevent basic deficiency states in the general population. However, certain vitamins and minerals at optimal levels, above the NRV, have consistently been shown to have positive benefits in specific areas of health. This is why some Vitabiotics formulas have certain nutrient levels greater than 100% NRV.

All Vitabiotics products have been developed using the latest research and contain effective levels of vitamins and minerals, while avoiding any excessive amounts, in accordance with official upper safe limits for vitamins and minerals.

Vitabiotics avoids 'mega dose’ levels of isolated nutrients and instead we have always stressed the importance of safe, moderate and sensible levels of vitamins and minerals, carefully balanced to maximise their combined effect; an approach which has been supported by many experts and researchers over the years.

research based formula

Visionace Tablets

Visionace has been formulated using a wealth of scientific research into nutrition and normal vision. In fact, the first Visionace formula (on which the current range is based) was the only UK eye supplement to have been tested in published double-blind trials and to have been the subject of a complete PhD thesis. (Placebo-controlled, cross over study by the Department of Vision Science at Glasgow Caledonian University.) Visionace contains all the nutrients found to be helpful in the AREDS study (Betacarotene, vitamins C and E, zinc and copper), plus many others.
