The Fortifeye™
Philosophy
Right
Ingredients. Right Science. Right for you.
"...
promote proper vision and whole body health
with the right
ingredients at the right levels."


Nutrition for your eyes
is a particularly
delicate balance of the right nutrients at the right levels for the
right purpose. Precision counts.
It begins by laying a strong foundation for your best health.
Your eyes are fragile and
complex, yet we expect them to work under incredible conditions.
We rely on our vision more than any other sense we have. They're
assaulted daily by pollution and dust, sunlight, poor diet, stress, and
strain that can generate damaging molecules known as "free
radicals**."
"...
take advantage of the latest research."
| All
Fortifeye products are produced in a GMP, FDA, NNFA, and
NSF approved facility that supplies products to the
domestic nutraceutical industry. On a global basis
Fortifeye is manufactured in an approved TGA facility,
the leading regulatory authority for nutraceuticals
world wide. |

Right
Ingredients
The entire family of
Fortifeye™ products has been created by doctors who understand that
quality counts. Each nutrient was chosen based on the highest
manufacturing standards and uptake ability by the body (called
bioavailability). Our fish oils are micro-distilled and cold
pressed to maintain nutritional integrity. Our vitamin A is 100%
beta carotene, and our vitamin E is d-alpha-tocopheryl succinate, the
only type the body can readily utilize. We also understand that
quality counts too. The amounts we include in each formulation are
the same used in numerous clinical studies: no so much, that it is
wasted, and doesn't benefit your body.
Right
Science
All of our
products are formulated with specific nutrients to promote proper vision
and whole body health without the controversial "mega-dosing"
of certain ingredients.
Rather than trendy nutrients, we have
focused on what works and developed a unique combination of
synergistically blended whole foods, phytonutrients, vitamins, minerals,
enzymes, and essentially fatty acids for maximum benefit. We have
built upon the best previous science and added the best current science.
Right For
You
Whether you
simply want the best whole body supplement available, or need to combine
it to combat macular degeneration or dry eye syndrome, Fortifeye™
is for
you. We offer products that take advantage of the latest research
and can be used alone or together to achieve your overall nutritional
needs. Ask your doctor what Fortifeye™
products are right for
you.

Fortifeye™ Complex
Think
of our exclusive Fortifeye™
Complex as your
first line of defense
Found
only in our "Complete" and "Macular Defense"
formulas, this powerhouse combination of vision-specific antioxidants
helps defend against damaging free radicals by protecting different
parts of your eyes in different ways.
Lycopene:
Known as the
compound that gives tomatoes their red color, important research
suggests this powerful antioxidant may reduce the risk of macular
degeneration.*
Lutein:
Found naturally
in green leafy vegetables, and other natural sources, this potent
antioxidant nutrient is sorely lacking in the typical American
diet. Lutein has been shown in landmark clinical studies to increase
macular pigment density which may promote macular health.
Bilberry:
In several
studies, bilberry was shown to improve visual acuity at night as well as
shortening the time to adapt to dark conditions and recover from glare
-- important for light-sensitive individuals during nighttime driving.*
Grape Seed
Extract:
Used
extensively in Europe, grape seed extract is rich in flavonoids,
compounds that have antioxidant properties some consider even greater
than vitamin C and vitamin E. Beyond their antioxidant powers, it
is thought to improve blood circulation and help strengthen blood
vessels.*
Curcumin:
Naturally occurring
in Turmeric, this compound is in curry spice. Curcumin is
known for its anti-inflammatory, chemoprotective, antioxidant,
anti-amyloid and anti-VEGF (anti-vascular endothelial growth factor)
properties. Studies indicate this compound may be beneficial in
inflammatory diseases in the eye and may prove to be effective in
slowing down certain types of cataracts. New studies indicate it
may
decrease chances of developing dementia.
Green
Tea: EGCG,
a key antioxidant found in Green tea, is thought to support retinal
health and work particularly well when in presence of vitamin E.
According to researchers at Univ. Kansas, EGCG is 100x more powerful as
an antioxidant than vitamin C and 25x more powerful than vitamin
E. EGCG may also inhibit the formation of new blood vessels
(anti-VEGF); this may prove to be useful in supporting retinal health.*
top

Resveratrol:
Resveratrol is
found in red wine, grape vines, grape skin and walnuts. Resveratrol can also inhibit the formation of
new blood vessels (anti-VEGF). This may prove to be useful in
supporting retinal health. New studies indicate it may help
increase lifespan. Zeaxanthin:
Scientists
believe this nutrient, in combination with Lutein, helps filter out
dangerous "blue" light, helping to maintain the photoreceptor
and retinal health. Kale,
Spinach and Blueberry Complex:
Research
has shown that increasing intake of dark green leafy vegetables and
dark berries may reduce the risk of macular degeneration and cataracts. Selenium:
This trace
mineral is used by nearly every cell in our body and its antioxidant
properties have been linked in clinical studies to improved eye health.*
| "Epidemiological
evidence suggests that moderate red wine consumption and
consuming more dark green leafy vegetables and colorful fruits
may help protect against age-related macular degeneration and
cataracts." |

Fortifeye™
Focus Tired Eye Relief
Right
Ingredients. Right Science. Right for You.
TIRED
EYE RELIEF- rejuvenate, refresh and revive your eyes with
AstaREAL® astaxanthin.†
Fortifeye
FOCUS is a powerful addition to the Fortifeye
line of vitamins. Fortifeye FOCUS is a
combination of three carotenoids - astaxanthin, lutein and
zeaxanthin.
This
new formulation was developed to help reduce accommodative
stress due to prolonged working at a near focal length. Fortifeye
FOCUS is recommended for individuals who experience
eye fatigue with near point tasks or after prolonged work on a
computer. Clinical studies indicate that 6mg of astaxanthin
reduces eye fatigue symptomology and actually improves
amplitude of accommodation, the eye’s ability to focus
clearly on objects at near distances. Many symptoms associated
with eye fatigue including tired eyes, sore eyes and dry eyes
were dramatically reduced in less than four weeks in clinical
studies using 6mg of astaxanthin a day. Studies also indicate
astaxanthin may improve circulation and reduce inflammation in
the eye. Fortifeye FOCUS is an exciting new
nutritional approach to aid the millions of people suffering
from eye fatigue while working with tasks at near focus.
Fortifeye FOCUS can be used alone or in
combination with any of the Fortifeye Vitamins.†
Right
Ingredients
Fortifeye FOCUS is a combination of three
carotenoids - astaxanthin, lutein and zeaxanthin.
Astaxanthin - A relatively new nutrient
used in supplements that comes from microalga Haematococcus
pluvialis, astaxanthin is proving to have multiple health
benefits. The carotenoid astaxanthin is the reason lobsters,
shrimp and some crabs turn red when cooked. While it
constitutes a tiny portion of farm-raised salmon feed (50 to
100 parts per million), astaxanthin represents up to 20
percent of the cost. Astaxanthin is an extremely potent
antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Clinical studies have now
proven that 6mg of astaxanthin can improve the blood flow to
the eye and actually aid in accommodation (focusing) and in
reducing eye fatigue. Astaxanthin reduces inflammatory
markers such as C reactive protein (CRP), nitric oxide
synthase (NOS), prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) and tumor necrosis
factor (TNF). Astaxanthin is documented with high potencies
for neutralizing oxygen radicals. For example, it is 550
times more powerful than vitamin E or 40 times more powerful
than beta-carotene against singlet oxygen radicals. These
remarkable aspects of astaxanthin are why Fortifeye
Vitamins has incorporated it into their new eye vitamin
formulas. Fortifeye Vitamins and The Lange Eye Institute are
involved in some ongoing clinical blood studies to look more
carefully at the anti inflammatory properties of
astaxanthin. Studies also indicate that astaxanthin may help
in muscle recovery and reduce muscle fatigue. Many patients
that have been taking supplemental astaxanthin have also
noticed the sun block properties this powerful antioxidant
exhibits. Astaxanthin has also been linked to healthier skin
and less fine lines and wrinkles have been documented after
taking astaxanthin for a few months. Astaxanthin in a truly
unique nutrient with some incredible health benefits.
Lutein - A carotenoid found naturally in
dark green leafy vegetables (spinach and kale) and other
natural sources, this potent antioxidant is sorely lacking
in the typical American diet. Lutein and zeaxanthin are the
only carotenoids found in the retina of the eye. Lutein
supplementation has been shown in landmark clinical studies
to increase macular pigment density which may promote
macular health. Scientists believe lutein helps filter out
dangerous ‘blue’ light, helping to maintain the
photoreceptor and retinal health. Lutein is now believed to
have a protective effect on the retina and may help to slow
down age related macular degeneration. Lutein may have some
protective effects against cataract formation.†
Zeaxanthin - Zeaxanthin is one of the two
carotenoids contained within the retina of the eye.
Zeaxanthin and lutein have an almost identical chemical
structure and have similar properties. Zeaxanthin, like
lutein, increases macular pigment density and also helps to
filter out the harmful blue light from the sun. Gogi berries
have one of the highest sources of zeaxanthin and orange
bell peppers are relatively high in zeaxanthin and more
readily available. Zeaxanthin may also have some protective
effects on cataract formation. Zeaxanthin may inhibit VEGF
and prove useful for diabetic retinopathy and wet macular
degeneration. Zeaxanthin and its related compound lutein are
highly concentrated in the macula, providing a yellow color
known as the macular pigment (MP). The macular pigment acts
like a built in sun screen and protects the macula from the
damaging photo-oxidative effects of blue light.†
Dr.
Lange has chosen AstaREAL® astaxanthin - The Astaxanthin of
Choice. AstaREAL® astaxanthin is manufactured by
Fuji Chemical Industry from Haematococcus pluvialis
microalgae and is cultivated in ultra-clean BioDome™
systems in pristine Maui, Hawaii and in state-of-the-art
photobioreactors in environmentally friendly Gustavsberg,
Sweden. AstaREAL® astaxanthin products are guaranteed for
high potency, quality and stability. Fuji’s enclosed
mass-culture systems generate the highest quality, purity
and consistency of astaxanthin in the world.
Fortifeye FOCUS can be used alone or in
combination with any of the Fortifeye Vitamins.

Focus Testimonial
I
have been taking Fortifeye Focus for several months now. I
am an optometrist and avid 58-year old runner. I noticed a
month ago after my first 8K run of this race season that
my leg muscles were not sore at all.
Last
weekend, I ran a 20K road race and, once again,
experienced no leg soreness. I also noticed I had
increased endurance in running up hills in the race. I
have run this same 20K race the last 14 years and my leg
muscles always get sore after I finish. Additionally, my
time for this year’s race was 8 minutes faster than last
year and 10 minutes faster than two years ago.
I
am a firm believer that the astaxanthin in Fortifeye Focus
helps with muscle endurance and recovery.
Additionally,
I take Fortifeye Complete Plus and Fortifeye Super
Omega.
Heart
disease is prevalent in my family so it important for me
to stay healthy through exercise and nutrition. Thank you,
Dr. Lange, for creating the Fortifeye nutritional
supplements.

I
suffer from post-LASIK severe dry eye syndrome now for
three years. I have lived in locations ranging from
Anchorage, AK, to Denver, CO, to my final destination of
Outerbanks, NC.
I
have studied all aspects of what makes my dry eyes better
and worse. The easy ones, snow skiing, flights, computers,
reading, and dwelling on how I screwed my eyes up worsen
my condition. Humidity helps; in particular, humidity
levels greater than 80% really helps, but greater than 70%
is not too bad either. Once I get to humidity levels less
than 60%, it doesn't matter where I am, it often
sucks.
Oddly,
my eyes did worse in Anchorage than Denver. Now oddities
are probably individualized, for instance: kite surfing
and surfing only worsen my condition that following night
(but if I flush my eyes with fresh water afterward, it is
not as bad); however my eyes do a little better the
following two or three days after being in the salt water.
Reading
on the computer while blowing into a hot drink provides
humidity/moisture relief. Coffee does not make my eyes
worse. Two beers makes my eyes red and then dry the
following morning, but they improve within hours.
Various
drops seem to only provide relief for minutes. Thicker
drops provide burning relief but are "bulky" and
thus mildly uncomfortable in my eye.
Due
to having small punctum, I am unsure if lower plugs
provide a large relief or not. They seem to help me with
my morning wake up dry eyes. So they have their
place. Have not tried the upper plugs yet.
Looking
for an answer, and seeing none, I sought advice from Dr.
Michael Lange in Ocala Florida.
Feeling
I would try anything, I tried Fortifeye Focus and
Fortifeye Super Omega-3. For six months, living in North
Carolina with elevated humidity levels, I finally
decreased my drop requirements from 4-6 times per day, to
mornings only. Unsure if it was the vitamins or humidity,
I would trial stopping the vitamins. Three various
periods, with humidity levels at least over 70%, on
cessation day # ~5, my eyes starting bothering me more.
Each time I restarted the vitamins, and within a few days
my eyes felt better.
Still
unsure if other factors were weighing in on these trials,
when my eyes felt the best they have in three years, I
stopped the vitamins. Within two weeks, I felt my
eyes gradually get worse. They had regressed to roughly
their original dry levels. Thinking there was no
hope, as I did not fly anywhere, had no recent colds, had
not changed any daily factors, nor had the humidity levels
dropped less than 70%; I was nervous. I restarted
the vitamins (taking two Fortifeye Super Omega-3 and one
Fortifeye Focus) and after three weeks, my eyes are close
to being back to as good as they ever have been.
I
cannot stress the importance of sleep, as well.
I
think dry eyes is really an individualized syndrome.
However, for me, the vitamins seem to help. I
believe they might be as effective as punctal plugs for
me. More importantly, they seem to calm some of the
inflammatory response / burning for whatever
reason.
At
this point, I view the Fortifeye vitamins, more as a
medicine, without the side effects. And with this
medicine, I take it daily and now confidently believe the
combination of sleep and Fortifeye has made a significant
difference in my life.
