The human body is constantly under attack from within as well as from external agents. Normal body functions such as breathing, physical activity, exposure to pollution and other lifestyle disorders such as stress produce substances called free radicals that attack healthy cells. These are harmful by-products of normal body reactions. Excess free radicals can cause damage both to the structure and function of body cells. In addition to premature aging, the destructive effects of free radical chain reactions may be conducive to the development of such widespread and serious eye diseases like diabetic retinopathy, cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma and other health conditions like peptic ulcers and gastritis, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, infertility, renal, liver and lung disease, inflammatory and autoimmune diseases and cancer. What Are Antioxidants?

2 An antioxidant is a chemical which neutralizes` the free radicals making it harmless. Antioxidants are intimately involved in the prevention of cellular damage. They can safely interact with free radicals and terminate the chain reaction before vital molecules are damaged. Although there are several enzyme systems within the body that scavenge free radicals, the principle micronutrient (vitamin) antioxidants are vitamin E, beta-carotene, and vitamin C. Additionally, selenium, a trace metal that is required for proper function of one of the body`s antioxidant enzyme systems, is sometimes included in this category. The body cannot manufacture these micronutrients so they must be supplied in the diet. As long as we are alive, eating and breathing in a polluted world, our bodies will have to contend with free radicals and we will need antioxidants to help reduce the impact and minimize the damage they cause. Normally, the body can handle free radicals, but if antioxidants are unavailable, or if the free-radical production becomes excessive, damage can occur. Of particular importance is that free radical damage accumulates with age. The key to good health is better nutrition. Existing lifestyle leaves lots of gaps in our seemingly healthy diets, resulting in the need for nutritional supplementation. The gaps in our seemingly healthy diet need to be essentially filled to enjoy good health. How Does Fiteye Help? FITEYE contains Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Vitamin B 2, Zinc, Copper, Selenium, Manganese, L-Glutathione, Lutein, Zeaxanthin and Rutin. FITEYE plays an important role in preventing the damage to the human eye due to destructive action of free radicals as it contains antioxidants. Vitamin C The body does not manufacture vitamin C on its own, nor does it store it. Vitamin C, a strong antioxidant is also able to regenerate other antioxidants such as vitamin E. Protect your eyes by absorbing the damaging near to UV blue light & UV light in the eyes which otherwise could cause cataract. Vitamin E Vitamin E is a powerful biological antioxidant. Because of its antioxidant action, vitamin E helps to protect against cataracts (clouding of the lens of the eye) and age related macular degeneration (ARMD, a progressive deterioration in the retina, the back part, of the eye). It retards cellular aging of the eyes due to oxidation. It strengthens the capillary walls and supplies oxygen to the blood, which is then carried to the eyes Vitamin A Beta-carotene is converted to vitamin A (retinol) in the small intestine & stored in the liver. It is a safe source of vitamin

3 A. Beta carotene possesses antioxidant properties and is an immune system booster. Vitamin B Vitamin B 2 riboflavin is a water-soluble crystalline pigment essential to the diet. Vitamin B 2 is a cofactor for the enzyme that recycles glutathione between reduced and oxidized states and plays a critical role in the production of glutathione. It`s deficiency might cause burning and itching of the eyes. Lutein Lutein is an antioxidant that has been shown to be associated with a reduced risk of macular degeneration and cataracts. Lutein, which is yellow, filters out blue light that is known to cause free radical damage to the eyes. Lutein is not made in the body and must be obtained from dietary sources or supplemented. Zeaxanthin It is an antioxidant found in the macula and it plays a significant role in blocking the sunlight and blue light from causing severe oxidative damage to the macula and retinal pigments. Rutin Rutin protects the eyes from sunlight damage. It is known to help protect thousands of tiny blood vessels, capillaries, in the eye. It reduces the leakage from damaged small blood vessels in the retina. Zinc Zinc is an essential element and is estimated that many proteins in the human body contain zinc. It possesses antioxidant properties, which protect against premature aging. Zinc concentration in the eye is higher than most tissues. Because zinc is a very effective antioxidant and the elderly are at risk for zinc depletion, it should be a part of a nutritional regimen. Copper Copper works with Vitamin C to fight oxidative stress, and it is necessary for proper enzyme functioning and to prevent zinc induced anemia.

4 Selenium Selenium is a trace mineral that is essential to good health but required only in small amounts. It helps maintain healthy eyes, hair & skin. It is a co-factor for the enzyme glutathione peroxidase, which aids in the regeneration of glutathione. L-glutathione It acts directly with free radicals and supports the detoxification of free radicals by ascorbate and vitamin E. Manganese Manganese is also one of the important dietary antioxidants for eye health as it activates the antioxidant enzymes. Thus, FITEYE can protect against free radical damage & oxidative stress, which may cause Eye diseases like Diabetic retinopathy, Age Related Macular Degeneration, Glaucoma etc. Who Should Take Fiteye? FITEYE is formulated to provide nutritional support for the eye and is recommended for patients who are not taking a multi-vitamin supplement. FITEYE is recommended for all people over 50 years of age as a valuable part of daily eye health care regimen. FITEYE is particularly beneficial to those exposed to environmental pollution or stress, which increases the risk of damage by free radicals, those who suffer from diabetes, cardiovascular disorders, cataracts, age related macular degeneration etc. Current and Former Smokers: Consult your eye care professional about the risks associated with smoking and using Beta-Carotene. What Is The Recommended Dosage Of Fiteye? The recommended dosage of FITEYE is one tablet one or two times daily. Keep out of the reach of children. FITEYE is suitable for nutritional supplementation in adults only. Store in a cool and dry place. FITEYE: Blister strip of 10 tablets Last updated: September 2013 Last reviewed: September 2013
