Diabetes is a disorder characterized by abnormally high blood glucose levels. People with diabetes cannot properly process glucose, a sugar the body uses for energy. As a result, glucose tends to move inefficiently from the bloodstream to the tissues of the body where it is needed. Therefore, at the same time that blood glucose levels are elevated, the rest of the body can be starved for glucose. Chromium helps to regulate blood sugar level and indirectly affects level of fats in the blood. Alpha-Lipoic Acid may relieve symptoms of nerve damage in people with diabetes and may improve the glucose-lowering action of insulin.

Diabetes can lead to poor wound healing, higher risk of infections, and damage to the eyes, kidneys, nerves, and heart. Zinc is an essential mineral that is a component of enzymes needed to repair wounds, maintain fertility in adults, help cells reproduce, preserve vision, boost immunity, and protect against free radicals, among other functions. Antioxidants, including Vitamin C and Vitamin E prevent damage to the nerves, eyes, and heart.

Zinc is an essential mineral that is a component of enzymes needed to repair wounds, maintain fertility in adults, help cells reproduce, preserve vision, boost immunity, and protect against free radicals, among other functions. Copper is needed with long-term use of zinc, because zinc inhibits copper absorption.

In order to promote good eyesight and protect eyes from macular degeneration, glaucoma and cataracts, proper amounts of the Vitamin A are included in this formula with the function of protecting the eye from free radicals. Vitamin C and E are also included as powerful antioxidants for reducing intraocular pressure. These two vitamins are also important in healing and immunity. Amino Acid Mix provides necessary protein and N-Acetyl L-Cysteine is thought to enhance glutathione protection. Glutathione is a powerful antioxidant that protects the lenses of the eyes.

Amino Acid Mix provides necessary eye proteins, essential in an eye health supplement. N-Acetyl L-Cysteine enhances glutathione (i.e. antioxidant) protection. Vitamin A is useful in an eye health supplement as it may prevent night blindness and other eye problems. Night blindness may be an early sign of Vitamin A deficiency. Vitamin C and Vitamin E are important in an eye health supplement as they protect eyes from oxidative damage. The Bioflavonoid Mix potentiates Vitamin C. Lutein is believed to provide carotenoid protection against cataracts and other eye problems. Bilberry helps to improve both normal and night vision in this eye health supplement.
