Description

Field of the invention

[0001] The present invention relates to a berry formula specifically rich in polyphenols, especially delphinidin. The aim of this invention is to achieve improved vision through carefully selected dietary supplements, in addition to a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. The "Berrybright" formula primarily comprises berry extracts from maqui, blueberry, and blackcurrant in a harmonious combination and is free of sugar, allergens, genetically modified ingredients, or preservatives. This targeted combination enables improved efficacy, especially in eye revitalization at the cellular level. Furthermore, the composition according to the invention is used as a dietary supplement in various dosage forms for convenient use, such as capsules, tablets, and instant drink powders. State of the art

[0002] The present invention relates to a novel berry formula made from maqui, blueberry and black currant, which is rich in polyphenols, especially delphinidin, and has been specifically developed to revitalize the eyes at the cellular level.

[0003] Currently, the demand for eye health products is increasing in Germany and worldwide. Due to the increasing use of digital workplaces, our eyes are constantly exposed to strong blue light, causing eye conditions such as eye fatigue, dry eyes, macular degeneration, and even irreversible vision loss. More and more young people are also exhibiting similar symptoms, such as myopia. Therefore, there is an increased demand for special nutritional supplements to maintain eye vitality.

[0004] Various dietary supplements are already available, containing individual active ingredients or combinations of nutrients to protect the eyes from blue light. Preparations containing lutein and zeaxanthin, either individually or in combination, are well-known. There are already dietary products specifically designed to combat eye fatigue and dry eyes. Oral preparations containing vitamins A, E, and DHA, as well as eye drops containing hyaluronic acid, are well-known.

[0005] However, there is still a limited selection of products that provide comprehensive nutrients for both vitality and damage repair for the eye at the cellular level. Increasing research is being conducted on anthocyanins, particularly delphinidin from berries, which appear to shed light on nutritional solutions for eye health. These innovations are incorporated into this formula.

[0006] The presented formula is characterized by its unique composition, which is safe for human consumption while also contributing to the maintenance of healthy eyes. The formula can be used alone or in combination with lutein and zeaxanthin, the latter resulting in a synergistic effect.

[0007] In summary, the “Berrybright” formula, thanks to its dolphin-grade selected components, represents an innovative and promising solution as a dietary supplement for eye vitality at the cellular level, and the high demand for high-quality and effective eye protection preparations highlights the relevance of this invention in the health products market. Description of the invention

[0008] Taking into account the above-mentioned problems with existing supplements for eye vitality, the present invention has developed and optimized a formulation. The novelty of this invention lies in the innovative combination of three carefully selected berries in the formulation. With their high content of anthocyanins, especially delphinidin, the formula is capable of significantly nourishing the eyes and providing the following benefits: relieving eye fatigue, increasing tear production, combating dry eyes, and even improving symptoms of myopia (nearsightedness). The formulation is specifically adapted to the needs of most people, young and old, who desire a special dietary supplement to maintain eye vitality and eye health in a modern lifestyle with increasing work in digital workplaces.

[0009] The formula consists of a combination of nutrients from three berries: maqui, blueberry, and blackcurrant. The selection was based on two criteria: 1. Safety and 2. Delphinidin content. Blueberry and blackcurrant have long been consumed and are rich in delphinidin. Maqui berries originate from Chile, have been consumed by the Mapuche for hundreds of years, and are considered safe. The berries are also characterized by their exceptional delphinidin content (>80% of the total anthocyanin content).

[0010] Like anthocyanin, which supplies the eye with nutrients and oxygen and strengthens important blood vessels in the eye, delphinidin brings other benefits: Delphinidin is a powerful antioxidant that, when absorbed into the lacrimal gland cells, inactivates reactive oxygen species (ROS) in the body as a radical scavenger, thus preventing oxidative stress, which in turn alleviates the symptoms of dry eyes, improves vision, and prevents eye diseases such as myopia.

[0011] The formula can be used on its own to relieve eye fatigue, improve dry eyes, and symptoms such as nearsightedness (myopia) in young people. When combined with lutein and zeaxanthin, a synergistic effect at the molecular level is also expected to benefit eye health.

[0012] Production takes place in Germany. The dosage form can be capsules, tablets, and instant drink powder to meet the preferences of the target group and provide convenience. Examples
