Avini’s Plus Mind & Vision is a unique combination of nutrients and herbs (Huperzine A, Dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE), N-Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Floraglo Lutein, Bilberry Extract and Detoxolite) which work in concert to maintain and enhance brain and nervous system functions as well as promote visual acuity. This includes mental alertness, clarity, memory retention, improved visual focus as well as improved night vision and glare recovery. These positive effects upon structure and function of the brain nervous system and eyes are supported by numerous scientific/clinical studies.

FloraGLO® Lutein is naturally-sourced, unesterified lutein that is scientifically proven to protect our eyes from the part of visible light, known as blue light. It is most widely known for eye health due to a groundbreaking study known as the Age-Related Eye Disease Study 2 (AREDS2) – a study which used FloraGLO Lutein. From protecting the developing infant brain to supporting cognitive function in adults, a growing body of research supports lutein as an important nutrient for brain function throughout all stages of life.

Huperzine A: An extract of the Chinese club moss, Huperzia serrata, huperzine A has been used in Chinese medicine for centuries. It is an effective inhibitor of acetylcholinesterase, the enzyme that degrades acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter important for normal memory and learning function. Huperzine A may help maintain cognitive function that has been degraded by a reduction in the brain’s functional levels of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. 

DMAE (Dimethylaminoethanol) functions as a neurotransmitter and is neuroprotective in the brain. DMAE helps eliminate lipofuscin and free radicals from brain cells. It also helps increase free choline to be available in your system and stimulates cholinergic receptors that may promote the use of acetylcholine (ACh) in your brain, thus improving mood and energy while influencing sleep patterns.

N-Acetyl-L-carnitine (ALCAR): This acetylated high energy ester of the amino acid L-carnitine contributes its acetyl group to the production of acetylcholine, the primary neurotransmitter for memory and thought. The enzyme that makes acetylcholine from acetyl groups and choline is choline acetyl transferase. The activity of this important enzyme has a tendency to decline with age, causing low acetylcholine levels which in turn are thought to contribute to the impairment of brain function that is associated with aging. Research has also found that ALCAR is active in optimizing the functioning of cerebral blood flow, as well as of nerve cell membranes.

Bilberry Extract has been clinically shown to stabilize tear production, increase the strength of collagen fibers in the capillaries and help build strong blood vessels; which improves circulation to the eye. The potent anthocyanin content supports overall eye health and vision, and has been shown to be beneficial in supporting short-sightedness, as well as prevent age-related macular degeneration. Historically, British pilots during WWII ate bilberry jam to improve their vision at night.

Detoxolite: Avini’s micronized and Activated clinoptilolite zeolite that detoxifies while improving nutritional absorption and utilization. Clinical studies have reported that users have experienced improved mental clarity as well as improved visual acuity.
