EyeCQ

Nature does not work in isolation, and neither does your body.

A single nutrient can often only fulfill its role when the right partners are by its side. Our complex formulas follow this principle: they combine nutrients with their natural co-factors, which activate, protect and enhance one another. Each has its own role, but only together do they unfold their full power. For your body, which deserves complete solutions.

How the nutrients in EyeCQ complement each other

EyeCQ is more than the sum of its parts. Each nutrient has its own task, but only together do they unfold their full power. Here you can see how the synergy team works:

• Calcium L-ascorbate (water-soluble vitamin C): The guardian
  300 mg per daily dose
  Water-soluble vitamin C is your first protective shield: it supplies the cells in the blood and tissues, protects them from oxidative stress and supports the normal function of the nervous system and immune system.* At the same time, it helps reduce tiredness and maintain your energy.* But there is a limit: it cannot reach fat-rich tissues such as the brain,
  nerves and eyes – this is where it needs its fat-soluble partner.
• Ascorbyl-6-palmitate (fat-soluble vitamin C): The pioneer
  150 mg per daily dose
  This is where the pioneer comes into play: fat-soluble vitamin C penetrates where water-soluble vitamin C cannot. It reaches the lipid layers of the brain, nerve cells, eyes and cell membranes and protects these sensitive structures from oxidative stress. Only the combination of water- and fat-soluble vitamin C creates complete cell protection – from the cells in the blood to the deepest lipid layers of your body.
• Astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis: The powerhouse
  4 mg per daily dose
  Astaxanthin is a powerful carotenoid with exceptional antioxidant strength. It protects your cell membranes, eyes and brain all the way into the mitochondria – the powerhouses of your cells where energy is produced. Astaxanthin enhances the protective effect of vitamin C at every level and ensures that your cells remain protected even under high stress.
• Coenzyme Q10 (ubiquinone): The energy provider
  20 mg per daily dose
  Q10 is the fuel for your cells: it supports energy metabolism in the mitochondria and at the same time helps protect against oxidative stress. Energy-intensive tissues such as the brain, heart and nerves benefit especially from Q10. It works hand in hand with vitamin C and astaxanthin to protect your cells while supplying them with energy.
• The natural companions: camu camu, glutathione & zinc
  20 mg per daily dose
  The team is complemented by natural vitamin C from camu camu, which provides plant-based co-factors from the whole fruit – just as nature intended. L-glutathione is the body’s most important endogenous antioxidant: it regenerates used protective substances such as vitamins C and E and supports your body’s detoxification processes. Finally, zinc helps protect cells and supports the normal function of the immune system.* Together, these three companions complete the formula into a comprehensive protective complex for your cells,
  nerves and sensory organs.

That is synergy: each nutrient makes the others stronger. Together, they form the complete team your body needs.

Ingredients:

Calcium L-ascorbate, capsule shell: hypromellose, astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis, ascorbyl-6-palmitate, camu camu powder, zinc citrate, citrus bioflavonoids, D-alpha-tocopherol (vitamin E), magnesium citrate, coenzyme Q10, colloidal silica (1 %), reduced L-glutathione, retinol (vitamin A)

Note on silicon: The colloidal silica (SiO2) in EyeCQ is not a filler, but a deliberately used mineral. It provides bioavailable silicon for connective tissue, collagen formation and eye health – especially important for the lens.

Contents:

60 capsules (37 g) – sufficient for 30 days

Nutrient content per 3 capsules (daily recommendation):

Percentage: Nutrient Reference Value (NRV)

NRV = Nutrient Reference Value in accordance with EU Regulation 1169/2011
* In accordance with approved health claims for the vitamins and minerals contained (EU Regulation 432/2012).

Your daily ritual for caring for your lipid layers:

Take a moment every day and take 2 capsules with plenty of good water – ideally with a meal that contains some fat. This allows your body to optimally absorb and utilize the fat-soluble vitamin C and other valuable antioxidants.

Tip: By taking EyeCQ regularly, you support a constant supply of water- and fat-soluble vitamin C – for brain, nerves, eyes and cellular health.

What we mean by “good water”: Pure, high-quality water such as osmosis-filtered water, fresh spring water or still mineral water with low mineralization.

Good to know:

• Suitable for vegans
• Keto-friendly
• No known intolerances
• Our recommended intake is based on official guidelines and is designed for daily supply. However, individual needs may vary. For individual adjustments, please consult your therapist if needed.

Legal notice: Please adhere to the recommended daily intake. Food supplements are not a substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle.

Science & studies

A balanced vitamin and antioxidant status is crucial for numerous bodily functions. In particular, the interaction of water- and fat-soluble vitamin C, astaxanthin, Q10 and glutathione is a focus of research into brain,
nerve and eye health. The following scientific reviews shed light on how these nutrients work together and which synergies are currently being discussed in research.
