Eye Bars – the healthier way to enjoy chocolate?

August 24, 2013 | Ian |

There is a new chocolate bar, available only at the opticians! The Eye Bar is a chocolate bar containing the vitamins and nutrients proven to help prevent or slow down the progression of AMD (Age related Macular Degeneration).

From the distributor’s website-

 

Treat yourself to healthier eyes with EyeBar

EyeBar is a new and unique chocolate bar fortified with vitamins and minerals. EyeBar provides a more pleasing way to take a regular eye health supplement to help maintain healthy vision. 

Made from quality chocolate (65% cocoa solids minimum) and with all the vitamins and minerals your eyes need to stay healthy, plus Lutein and Zeaxanthin, EyeBar is a delicious way to help look after your eyes.

The Age Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) found that taking regular supplements specifically for the eyes may reduce further deterioration in eye health by up to 26%. EyeBar is fortified with vitamins C and E, Zinc and Copper, validated in both the AREDS and AREDS2 studies. 

Each box contains 30 individually wrapped, 12g chocolate bars and one or two bars can be enjoyed daily. If appropriate, one EyeBar and one EyeTab capsule can be taken per day. 

Nutrient 1 Bar 2 Bars % RDA 2 bars
Zinc 12.5 mg 25 mg 250%
Lutein / Zeaxanthin 6 mg 12 mg  
Vitamin C 250 mg 500 mg 625%
Vitamin E 200 IU 400 IU 1333%
Copper 0.8 mg 1.6 mg 160%

Personally I think one per day would suffice, but I’m not a chocoholic. If you are, or know someone that is, who might have early age changes, why not treat them? I guess there would be less calories in the tablets though?

Get them while they last, it will be interesting to see how many sell, compared to how many “disappear”!
