The TrueVision Difference
Blue light rays are very harmful to vision because they penetrate deep into the eyes to an area that’s most vulnerable to blue light damage, which is the macular and surrounding parts of the retina.
These parts of the eye make central vision and high resolution possible, so protecting against blue light damage that accumulates over a lifetime is important for maintaining healthy eyesight.
The sun used to be our biggest source of blue light exposure, but now we have a more challenging threat – digital devices like smart phones, tablets, and other screens. This means our eyes need more support.
To shield against the oxidation damage caused by blue light, our bodies naturally produce a yellow-colored macular pigment.
This protective pigment contains 3 nutrients with strong antioxidant properties, which work together to shield cells in the macular from harmful rays. These nutrients are lutein, RR-zeaxanthin, RS (meso)-zeaxanthin, and we struggle to get adequate intake of these nutrients from diet alone.
TrueVision provides a natural source of all 3 nutrients with the Lutemax® 2020 marigold flower extract. Lutemax® 2020 has been shown to increase macular pigment optical density (MPOD) in just 8 weeks and support vision health and eyesight in numerous ways.
For your brain to determine what you’re looking at, your eyes must absorb light and convert it into signals that are sent to your brain. Converting the light to signals is done by photoceptor cells in the retina.
Like other cells, photoceptor cells are vulnerable to oxidative stress as we age. This contributes to age-related vision problems.
The potent antioxidant compounds in saffron have been shown to help protect photoreceptor cells from oxidative stress, making them tougher, more resilient, and less likely to die. Saffron can also help promote blood and oxygen flow in the eye.
Research indicates that supplementing with a quality saffron extract can support retina and vision function in many ways, including helping to promote central vison, supporting the ability to see in low light, and helping with color contrast and perception.
Saffron may also help you maintain already-healthy intraocular eye pressure. Better yet, a recent study found it can complement the eye health support of other antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin. TrueVision contains a saffron extract from Spain, called Affron®Eye specially designed for vision support.
Affron®Eye contains at least 3% crocin, a key saffron compound that your body uses to help protect photoreceptor cells.
The eyes and brain are adjacent organs that work closely together to allow us to see. Many researchers now view the eyes as an extension of the brain with changes in eye health providing a window to changes in the health of the brain.
Perhaps that may help explain why research with the nutrients in TrueVision indicates that they can simultaneously support vision health and help several aspects of brain health and cognitive function.
Supplementing with Lutemax®2020 has been shown to help support healthy levels of the stress hormone cortisol and help reduce feelings of perceived stress. In addition, it can help support emotional health and feelings of well-being.
Separately, Lutemax®2020 can help increase brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which supports the brain’s memory, learning and thinking functions.
In addition, Lutemax®2020 helped several parameters of cognitive performance in healthy adults, including composite memory, verbal memory, and sustained attention, psychomotor speed, and processing speed. Other research shows saffron helps support balanced moods and mindset.

Saffron is the world’s most expensive spice because harvesting saffron requires a labor intensive hand-picking process. Saffron comes from crocus sativus flowers.
Research has shown that saffron helps protect photoreceptor cells from oxidative stress, making them more resilient and less likely to die.
Photoreceptor cells are critical to vision health because they convert the light your eyes see to signals that your brain uses to determine what you’re seeing.
In addition, saffron helps increase blood and oxygen flow in the eye and may help you maintain already-healthy intraocular eye pressure levels.
Affron®EYE is a saffron extract specifically designed for eye health, and contains a minimum of 3% of crocin, the key saffron compound for vision health.
Once in your stomach, crocin is converted to crocetin, which your body rapidly absorbs through the intestines and delivers to target areas like the retina.
Affron®EYE is a very pure saffron, and the maker Pharmactive is fully integrated, and handles every step of production locally in Spain, right down to final shipping.
Pharmactive’s saffron fields are in the plateau La Mancha, a beautiful part of central Spain with fertile soil. Only traditional farming methods are used in the cultivation of saffron – and flowers are handpicked at peak potency.
The quality of Affron®EYE led to it being awarded “Ingredient of the Year” in the Healthy Aging category by NutraIngredients, a leading industry publication.
Some of the benefits you may experience with Affron®EYE include:
- Helps support central vision function.
- Helps support color contrast and perception.
- Helps support the ability to see in low light.
- Helps maintain already-healthy intraocular eye pressure.
- Helps support mood and mindset.
FAQ from

TrueVision can increase macular pigment and support photoreceptor cells that help protect your vision after 2 to 3 months of use.
As a result, in addition to protecting your vision for the long term, you may also experience benefits such as improving your ability to see in low light, and enhancing glare recovery, contrast sensitivity and visual acuity.
Since changes happen slowly over time, sometimes clients don’t realize how much they’ve improved since they started TrueVision.
Yes, if you feel you could benefit from the extra serving each day, you can take two servings per day. Each serving of TrueVision contains 10mg of lutein and 2mg of the zeaxanthin isomers, along with 20mg of saffron extract.
For most people, this serving size should be adequate, but some research indicates desired eye health support may be achieved faster by supplementing with 20mg of lutein per day.
One thing to consider is lutein and zeaxanthin are fat soluble nutrients that accumulate in the body. This is why we need relatively small amounts of them from food and supplements.
As you may know, one of the key functions of these nutrients is to increase the amount of protective macular pigment in your eyes – which acts as a shield from the damage caused by harmful light rays as you age.
Typically, when a user starts taking 1 capsule daily of TrueVision, the amount of protective macular pigment starts increasing, and typically reaches an optimal level after 3 to 6 months.
This can be accelerated somewhat by taking 2 TrueVision capsules daily, but either way, it’s likely after 6 months most people will end up in a similar range.
Nonetheless, some users start and continue to use 2 capsules daily as they feel it works best for them. Your decision on whether to take one or two servings per day of TrueVision should be based on your specific vision health needs, which we recommend you determine with your eye health professional.
From a safety perspective, research indicates that taking up to 20mg of lutein a day appears to be safe if you choose the 2 capsules of TrueVision daily direction (we wouldn’t suggest going higher than 20mg).
Blue light rays have the shortest wavelength in the spectrum of visible light and emit higher energy. This matters because these high-energy rays can penetrate deep into the eye and cause oxidative stress in the macular and retina.
These parts of the eye make central vision and high resolution possible, so protecting against blue light damage that accumulates over a lifetime is important for maintaining healthy eyesight. Blue light rays can disrupt sleep by suppressing melatonin levels.
The sun used to be our biggest source of blue light exposure, but now we have a more challenging threat – digital devices like smart phones, tablets, and other screens. Surveys indicate Americans typically spend up to 13 hours a day in front of digital screens. This means our eyes need more support and protection from blue light.
