Advanced Vision Formula from Advanced Bionutritionals is promoted as containing astaxanthin, discovered by Johns Hopkins researchers to be able to reach eye tissues despite the blood-retinal barrier, which excludes many substances, much like the blood-brain barrier. This is especially valuable because astaxanthin has 10 times higher potency than related antioxidants. The supplement contains 15 nutraceuticals: 1,126 mcg Vitamin A (as mixed carotenoids from D. salina providing zeaxanthin, beta-cryptoxanthin, lutein, beta-carotene, and alpha-carotene); 240 mg Vitamin C; 15 mg Zinc picolinate; 300 mg Citrus Bioflavonoid Complex; 120 mg Bilberry fruit extract; 120 mg Ginkgo leaf extract: 50 mg Grape seed extract; 250 mg Taurine; 200 mg N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine; 50 mg Alpha Lipoic Acid; 10 mg Lutein; 3 mg Zeaxanthin; 4 mg Astaxanthin; 250 mg Citicoline; and 400 mg Beta Glucan. How would you rank overall effectiveness of the Advanced Vision Formula compared to ReVision or Dr. Allan Spreen’s OcuXanthin for serious eye problems?

Ubiquinol CoQ10 from Advanced Bionutritionals is being promoted as being “absorbed quickly and in high amounts—far higher than regular CoQ10. In fact, studies show that Ubiquinol is absorbed 8 times more efficiently than the standard CoQ10. That means 100 mg per day of Ubiquinol provides virtually the same high CoQ10 blood levels as 800 mg of standard CoQ10.” Is this advantageous for me, or can I count on divine augmentation to amplify the ubiquinone I currently take to be adequate for my benefit?

Can you help us understand the merits and any liabilities of using AstaVida, a supplement marketed by Solaire Nutraceuticals, which combines ubiquinone (also called CoQ10), selenium, astaxanthin, and alpha lipoic acid? They claim it will be rejuvenating because it supports body energy production in every cell, supports the heart to decrease mortality and help people live longer, provides antioxidant protection to improve vision and make skin healthier, and supports brain and memory function. Are these claims valid and significant, and are there any unstated benefits?
