Add This to Your List for Lifelong Eyesight

Dear Health Conscious Reader,

One of the most powerful nutrients I prescribe to my patients is CoQ10. It’s already well known for its heart and brain benefits… and now the news just got better.

A recent study published by Columbia showed that CoQ10 can also have a profound affect on your eye health.

The study, published this year, showed that CoQ10 levels in your retina falls 40 percentby the time you reach 80.1

The directors of the study suggested a link to lower CoQ10 and the overall health of the macula.

So add your eyes to the list of vital organs that are losing CoQ10 as you age…

Adrenal glands

Eye (Retina)3

Liver

. . . and add CoQ10 to the list of nutrients that helps support the overall health of your eyes.

It makes sense if you think about it. Your eyes are among the most delicate, complex organs in your body. They work full-time … from the time you get up in the morning until you go to bed at night. They’re also under constant strain from inside and outside forces, including:

  • UVB rays
  • Free radicals and oxygen molecules
  • Dust, particles, and pollutants

They need a nonstop supply of key nutrients to stay healthy. The three most potent eye nutrients are vitamin E, lutein and zeaxanthin.

The latest research confirms this trio’s vision-protecting power. In a study published this year, researchers in Japan gave blood tests to more than 700 people 65 and up.4 Those with the highest levels of these three eyesight warriors appear to have overall better eye health.

A 2008 Australian study of over 3,600 made a similar discovery. People who got a lot of all three through diet or supplements had better eye health than those who had lower levels.5

Guess what these vision boosters all have in common? They’re powerful antioxidants.

CoQ10 happens to be the strongest antioxidant in Nature. So it’s no surprise your eyes may very well need it.

The authors of the Columbia study showed that lower levels of CoQ10 meant your retina may not produce enough energy to regenerate—or to protect itself from free radical damage.

To give your eyes (and the rest of your vital organs) the power they need, I recommend that you take at least 200 mg of CoQ10 daily.

My formula, Accel, is 8 times as potent as the CoQ10 you’ll find in most supermarkets and drugstores. Try it risk free now.

To Your Good Health,
