As you begin to put away the shorts and t-shirts this month, remember that your eyes enjoyed their summer break too! They’ve likely spent more time outside in the fresh air and less time scrolling on screens. This is why the return to work can also mean the return of strained and irritated eyes.

Support your eyes by wearing sunglasses to protect from harmful UV rays - even in autumn and winter - and be sure to take regular screen breaks to avoid eye strain. Try the 20:20:20 rule; every 20 minutes look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

 

Diet is equally important for eye health. Try powering up your meals with Omega fatty acids and Vitamin C & E from foods like salmon, spinach, eggs, nuts and citrus fruits.

Supporting your eyes through diet alone can be challenging. AquaSource Eye Health Complex with Marigold, Astaxanthin & Eyebright provides a synergistic combination of proven ingredients for supporting eye health.

This popular product contains a wonderful combination of naturally sourced ingredients, including organic maqui berry powder to support tear fluid secretion, Vitamin C from acerola to help protect against UV light damage, and blackcurrant fruit extract in blackcurrant seed oil to help reduce dry eyes. And, as you would expect from AquaSource, it’s gluten free, non-GMO and certified by the Vegan Society^®.

"I have been taking Eye Health Complex and Liquid Gold Complex for 3 months. I have already noticed that my vision is less blurry and that my vision has improved slightly. I look forward to even more improvements in the future! Thank you AquaSource for such great products!" Rositsa Gospodinova, UK 

Soaking up the sun may be the best way to get your daily intake of Vitamin D, but that’s not always possible. And, according to the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition, around 40% of Europeans are Vitamin D deficient, and 13% are severely deficient.

As we spend more time indoors over the coming months, finding good sources of Vitamin D is even more crucial. Foods such as oily fish, red meat and egg yolks are a great start, and supplementation is a good way to add extra support when you need it.

 

As we prepare to celebrate European Organic Day on 23rd September, we are proud to offer AquaSource Organic Vitamin D with Vitamin D sourced from organic mushroom powder combined with natural calcium from organic Lithothamnion red algae, providing vital support for bones, muscles, teeth and immunity. And, because it is naturally sourced, we believe this means better absorption by the body, helping you to shine bright all year round.
