Strong Evidence Suggests Fish Oil Reduces Risk of Age-Related Blindness
There is new evidence emerging about the benets of omega-3 fatty acids and eye health. Research suggests that omega-3s may play a role in protecting against age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It is believed that omega3s modulate the extent of processes involved in the development of AMD, such as preventing the formation of new blood vessels in advanced AMD, reducing inammation and protecting against cell death. Consumers have been aware of the cardiovascular benets of sh oil for a long time. But not many can identify it as benecial to eye health. Because we know how important it is for you to protect your eyesight, Pacic Health is introducing Fish Oil Plus 1000mg to the aviation market. Each Fish Oil Plus softgel contains 180 EPA and 120 DHA. There are 90 softgels per bottle. Taking three softgels a day gives you a triple-strength dose 540 EPA and 360 DHA. A 30-day supply costs about $20.

California Pilot Sees Speedy ® Vision Improvement With Claroxan
Must Have Correctional Lenses On Your Person popped off the page of my Second Class Medical like it was written with neon showcase lights. Now I have to wear glasses when I y? What if my eyes continue to decline? As a pilot with what I had previously gured to be everlasting 20/20 vision, I now faced a dilemma. Either chalk this up to the natural aging process or do something about it. Soaring high above ground level is my life. By trade, I’ve logged over 31,000 hours as a helicopter rescue pilot. People’s lives are on the line—I’ve got to be at my absolute best at all times. When I’m off duty, my ultimate passion is tearing through the skies in my aerobatic Russian Yaks or my vintage warbirds. The choice to do something about my deteriorating vision was a no-brainer. For the next few years, I tried everything under the sun to right the ship. But, each year, the certicate read the same. Then, I saw an ad for one-a-day Claroxan – a stout formula packed with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants specically targeting the muscle tissue of the eye, designed to enhance visual acuity and protect the eyes from harmful toxins. I had my doubts. But, I gave it a shot. After a few short weeks, I noticed things dramatically clearing up with my unaided vision. I was ying home alone one night against heavy drag in my 500D personal chopper over top of the desert, at about 500 feet. I was astounded at the clarity with which I was able to focus. That was the rst time I realized Claroxan was making a colossal difference. It was soon time to report for my annual Medical. I condently told my physician, “I think it might be different this year.” After the physical, he handed me the certicate with a subtle smirk. I opened it up, and to my delight, I was holding an unrestricted license! Incredible! I just hit the big 6-0, and, with one-a-day Claroxan, I look forward to ying uninhibited until I hit 70 and beyond. I’ve turned more than a handful of pilots on to Claroxan, and would like to do the same for many more. Claroxan is formulated by Pacic Health, Inc., located in gorgeous Bellingham, Washington. For more information or to select the best package for your needs, call 877-902-0620 right now or log on to www.Claroxan.com and your order will be swiftly shipped to your door. Happy ying, Marty Martin
