Proper nutrition is one of the most important single factors in maintaining our health. Most people in today's society are not getting the required nutrients and vitamins from the foods they are eating. We have become a society living "life on the go", that is fueled by fast food and junk food. Our typical diet is caloric dense and nutrient lacking. Our foods are processed, sugar and salt-laden, filled with trans fats, hydrogenated oils, high fructose corn syrup, synthetic dyes and artificial sweeteners. These poor nutritional habits combined with a sedimentary lifestyle are why the health of the American people is becoming compromised. America is home to the most obese people in the world. According to the CDC (Center for Disease Control and Prevention), obesity in adults has increased by 60% within the past twenty years and obesity in children has tripled in the past thirty years. A staggering 70% of American adults are overweight or obese and obesity-related deaths have accelerated to more than 300,000 a year, second only to tobacco-related deaths.

Most nutritional experts recommend 6-13 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Americans are falling short of this amount and are becoming more and more nutritionally compromised. 80% of American children and almost 70% of adults are not even consuming five portions of fruits and vegetables a day. The population that consumes the least amount of vegetables and fruits are more predisposed in developing disease and illness. These large and growing groups of people are nutritionally compromised and more prone to develop free radical damage in their bodies and eyes. Studies done at Jean Mayer USDA Human Research Center on Aging at Tufts University suggests that consuming fruits and vegetables with a high ORAC (oxygen radical absorbency capacity) value may help slow down the aging process in the body and brain.

Fortifeye™ Vitamins is embracing the latest science on free radical damage, antioxidant therapy and ORAC research. Fortifeye is using this science combined with intracellular blood tests to maximize cellular absorption of each Fortifeye product. After six years of research and development Fortifeye has released their newest multivitamin called Fortifeye Complete One-A-Day Multivitamin. This is a nutraceutical (vitamin) taken once a day that has an ORAC value of approximately 4250 per serving in each tablet. This is equivalent in antioxidant power to approximately five or six servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Fortifeye's goal was to develop a multivitamin that was for total body and vision health that was convenient, affordable and based on the latest research. Fortifeye Complete One-A-Day multivitamin is all natural without any synthetic nutrients, dyes, trans fats or artificial sweeteners. Fortifeye Complete One-A-Day multivitamin is great for anyone that wants to insure that they are getting enough antioxidants during the day to combat against free radical damage and aid in the total health of their body and eyes.

Fortifeye has taken a powehouse combination of 50 total body and vision specific nutrients and combined them all into one USP certified tablet. Fortifeye Complete One-A-Day multivitamin has been created by doctors who understand that quality counts. Each nutrient was chosen based on the highest manufacturing standards and metabolic uptake ability by the body (called bioavailability). This formula was created to minimize nutritional deficiencies and maximize the total antioxidant function at a cellular level. Some newly researched nutrients like resveratrol , green tea, soy isoflavones, curcumin, rutin, zeaxantin, tocotrienols, vitamin B and vitamin D along with the "super berries" have been added to this formula to gain some of the exciting health benefits. These nutrients are powerful antioxidants that may also help inhibit the formation of "bad" blood vessels (anti-VEGF) and are considered natural anti-inflammatory agents. These specific nutrients are being studied for their potential benefits in cancer, arthritis, diabetes, cholesterol, heart disease, eye diseases and as neuro protectants. Many studies now suggest that increasing intake of dark green leafy vegetables and darkly pigmented berries may also benefit macular degeneration and overall health. Kale, spinach and blueberries along with bilberries and grape seed extract have been included in the Fortifeye Complete One-A-Day multivitamin formula. In addition, 10mgs of lutein and 1.575 mg of zeaxanthin have been added to help replenish the macula pigment density, filter out the dangerous blue light and also act as a powerful antioxidant to neutralize free radicals. Current science indicates that macula density progressively decreases as macular degeneration progresses. Lutein/zeaxanthin is proving to be beneficial for both macular degeneration and cataracts. The total antioxidant value (ORAC value) of Fortifeye Complete One-A-Day multivitamin is one of the highest available in the industry in one tablet—4,250. This is equivalent to approximately 6 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Super foods like gogi, acai, mangosteen, pomegranate, cinnammon and cocoa were blended to increase the ORAC to these levels. Acetyl L-carnitine, alpha lipoic acid and CoQ-10 were introduced to support mitochondria health and aid in neuro protection. All eight forms of vitamin E (four tocopherols and four tocotrienols) are utilized in this formula to maximize free radical quenching. The most absorbable form of zinc called Opti Zinc is used to increase bio availability. Vitamin A deficiencies are very rare in developed countries and too much does pose some serious health risks so no vitamin A is found in Fortifeye Complete One-A-Day multivitamin. Beta carotene has been linked to lung cancer in smokers and studies now indicate that beta carotene may block the absorption of lutein so no beta-carotene is in any of the Fortifeye products. Many other nutrients are used in this comprehensive one-a-day formula in precise ratios to aid in maximum cellular absorption. Fortifeye Complete One-A-Day multivitamin can be used alone or in combination with Fortifeye Super Omega-3 Fish Oil or Fortifeye Dry Eye Therapy Extreme to combat against free radical damage in the eyes and body.

When Fortifeye Vitamins are combined with life style changes and dietary modifications significant improvements in the health of the eyes and body can be achieved. Fortifeye Complete One-A-Day multivitamin is recommended to anyone wanting to become pro-active in their future health.
