Vision Power’s Age-Defying Nutrients

Vision Power is more than targeted nutrition for your eyes. Its powerful antioxidant ingredients provide anti-aging effects throughout your whole body by helping to fight the damaging effects of free radicals. *


Free radicals careen through your cells inflicting damage as they go. Every process of your body, as well as the environment in which you live, contributes to oxidation that forms free radicals. Essentially, eating, breathing and going out in the sun all contribute to the process of oxidation, free radical formation and damage to the cells of your body. Research shows antioxidants may slow the visible effects of aging, may extend longevity and defend against development of certain health conditions. * Antioxidants are substances that reduce, neutralize and prevent the damage done to your body by free radicals.




The Science of Vision Power’s Antioxidants



Research shows the antioxidant nutrients in Vision Power can protect and increase production of skin-saving collagen, increase circulation throughout your body and control unchecked inflammation to protect you from the effects of aging. *





Strengthen Collagen, Protect Brain and Eyes

•Bilberry

— For centuries, bilberry has been recommended for strengthening vision and improving health. Recent research suggests it has an even broader range of helpful properties, in part because it contains healing phytochemicals called anthocyanins (antioxidant flavonoids). Studies show bilberry’s anthocyanins may promote human health by strengthening blood vessel walls. This helps improve blood flow to the tiny blood vessels (capillaries) that keep eyes healthy, as well as to larger blood vessels that help maintain top circulation throughout the body, including the brain. Furthermore, these phytochemicals strengthen collagen, a critical component of the structure of skin, tendon, bone, cartilage and other connective tissues. Bilberry’s protective action can improve visual function, increase blood flow to the eyes, protect the retinas and enhance the production of rhodopsin, a protein needed for near vision. *





Protect Skin Health, Improve Circulation

•Quercitin

— This bioflavonoid (or flavonoid) pigment is found in almost all herbs, fruits and vegetables. Bioflavonoids provide the body with antioxidant protection and inflammation control. Bioflavonoids also help maintain the health of collagen. Collagen is responsible for the firmness and health of our largest organ — our skin. Indeed, wrinkles and sagging are the direct result of the breakdown of collagen. Quercitin, along with other bioflavanoids, also can improve the health of capillaries and connective tissues. Because of this, the many benefits of quercitin include alleviating bruising, edema, varicose veins, and fragile capillaries. The natural nutritional support of quercitin also helps balance inflammation and limit free-radical damage that can lead to arthritis, allergies, macular degeneration, heart disease and gout. *





Increase Cellular Energy

•Alpha-lipoic acid

— This powerful antioxidant helps cells convert glucose to energy, detoxifies the body, helps control inflammation in the skin and helps promote normal blood sugar. *

Alpha-lipoic acid has been called a “universal antioxidant” because it is soluble in water and fat, and thus can penetrate tissues composed mainly of fat, such as the nervous system, as well as those made mainly of water, such as the heart, to protect them from free-radical damage. It also helps the body better use other antioxidants, such as vitamin E, vitamin C, and glutathione. Alpha-lipoic acid also helps B vitamins more efficiently convert proteins, carbohydrates and fats into energy.

Alpha-lipoic acid helps increase the body’s supply of glutathione, the most abundant natural antioxidant, so that free radicals are escorted out of the body before they can cause damage to cells.*

How to Be an Environmentally Conscious Motorist

1. Practice safe extended drain intervals. 3,000 mile oil changes are a thing of the past, and using AMSOIL synthetic oils will protect your engine, increase performance and reduce the amount of waste oil produced. Be sure, also, that the oil change facility you use recycles used oil regularly and legally.
2. Keep your tires properly inflated. Tires should be inflated to the pressure recommended for your vehicle (this information can either be found inside the door frame or in the owner's manual). For every 3 pounds tires are below recommended pressure, fuel economy goes down by about 1 percent. Tires can lose about 1 pound of pressure in a month, so be sure to check the air pressure regularly, especially before carrying heavy loads or taking long trips. Underinflated tires can also detract from handling and safety, and can shorten the life of the tires.
3. Don't forget about your engine's air filter. A high quality air filter, like AMSOIL Ea Air Filters, can, if properly maintained, increase power, prolong engine life and improve fuel economy. Also, air filters with a longer life help the environment by reducing the volume of filters that end up in landfills.
4. Optimize your route. By planning the route in advance, you can save time and gas and reduce the total cost of travel. In addition, route optimization reduces overall CO2 and other emissions your vehicle emits.
5. Use a fuel additive that is good for you, and for Mother Nature. AMSOIL Performance Improver (P.i.) improves fuel mileage an average of 2.3 percent and up to 5.7 percent while reducing emissions such as hydrocarbons (HC) up to 15percent, carbon monoxide (CO) up to 26 percent and nitrous oxides (NOx) up to 17 percent.

SYNTHETIC MOTOR OIL VS. CONVENTIONAL PETROLEUM

A brief explanation of the difference between Synthetic Oil and Petroleum Oil.

Excerpt taken from an article called:

The True Measure of Lubricant Quality
By Ed Newman
This article appeared in Power Stroke Registry, Summer Edition 2003

Conventional lubricants are refined from crude oil which has thousands of types of molecules. Refining is a process of physically separating the impurities from the oil and further separating the light and heavy components. Because refining separates products by weight, it groups molecules of similar weight and dissimilar structure. The result is a lubricant with a wide assortment of molecules. Some of the substances in crude oil are detrimental to lubrication. Paraffin's, for example, are a common conventional oil contaminant that causes motor oil to thicken in cold temperatures.

Synthetic motor oils are made from pure chemicals, not refined crude. Their components are chemically reacted to produce finished products with pre-designed performance characteristics. Because of their molecular uniformity, they excel in reducing friction, which improves fuel efficiency, controls heat and reduces wear. This molecular uniformity also helps synthetics resist thinning in hot temperatures and thickening in cold.

• AMSOIL offers superior wear protection so that engines last longer.


• By reducing friction AMSOIL helps engines run cooler.


• Due to its low pour point and cold weather pumpability, AMSOIL makes winter starts much easier.

Get you Diesel Truck ready for cold climates, Amsoil Diesel Recovery

Diesel Recovery Delivers Maximum Performance


AMSOIL Diesel Recovery (DRC) is an emergency diesel fuel treatment that quickly dissolves the wax crystals that form when diesel fuel has surpassed its cloud point. It liquefies gelled diesel fuel and thaws frozen fuel filters, avoiding costly towing charges and getting diesel vehicles back on the road. Diesel fuel quality varies from one filling station to the next, and low-quality fuel can have a cloud point as high as 4.4°C (40°F), making Diesel Recovery a necessity for diesel operators in cold-weather climates.
In order to test the performance capabilities of Diesel Recovery, AMSOIL commissioned an independent laboratory to perform an evaluation. Test results indicated Diesel Recovery effectively outperformed the competition in regards to lowering both pour point and cold filter-plugging point.
