BioVision - Natural Vision Supplement: Saffron

The active ingredient of Saffron in BioVision® has been shown in multiple research studies to benefit vision in the eyes.  The high concentrations of natural carotenoids in BioVision® can help protect the lens and the retina of aging eyes. It also has been shown in several studies to improve distance vision. Protect your vision today.

Good vision is essential to a normal happy life. The eyes provide us with 90% of our sensory information; yet, macular degeneration is the leading cause of irreversible blindness in Americans age 50 and older. In fact, the ability to read, drive, do intricate work, and perform many other daily tasks can become impaired, even before the onset of legal blindness. Americans have historically lacked an effective strategy for countering typical forms of vision loss. BioVision® is about to change that limitation! Recent clinical studies by researchers have shown incredible vision-enhancing benefits using a specialized extract from a flower derived spice called saffron.

Study #1 - Subjects who took the active ingredient in BioVision® had a significant increase in visual acuity, a term that refers to the sharpness of vision at a distance. After three months of supplementation, patients had an average increase in visual acuity at a distance of one full line (14.3% better than baseline) on the familiar Snellen vision chart which measures visual acuity at a distance of 20 feet. That means, for example, that someone whose visual acuity at a distance was 20/40 prior to supplementation would see with 20/30 vision afterwards. Once again, no improvement in distance vision was seen in placebo recipients.

Study #2 - Up to 11 million people in the United States have at least some degree of age-related macular degeneration. While 2% of 50 to 59 year olds suffer from the disease, that number surges to 30% in those over 75 years. An unprecedented finding was stronger electrical responses to light overall and improved the light-sensing abilities of retinal cells in early age-related macular degeneration. The patients also had a better response to dim light during the supplement phase (meaning that their eyes were more sensitive to dim light images). No such changes were apparent during the placebo phase. This means that the active ingredient in the BioVision® supplement improved the light-sensing abilities of retinal cells in early age-related macular degeneration.

Study #3 - Similar finding to the first study with an even more impressive results. After 12 months of supplementation with the active ingredeint in BioVision® the average visual acuity improved by 2 lines on the eye chart so longer periods of supplementation produces further improvement in eyeight/vision.

Saffron is one of the rarest and exotic spices found on the earth. Golden spice is the other name given to saffron, attributing to its reddish-golden color. The quality of saffron is critical because the quality depends on the quantity of its main carotenoid constituents crocin and crocetin. For example, one should not use Indian saffron since it is actually turmeric and different from saffron spice obtained from Crocus sativus.

BioVision® uses only the highest quality of  saffron derived from Crocus sativus.
