Susan Lark, MD, natural health pioneer, creates new formula to support eye health in women

POTOMAC, Md., August 8, 2003—Susan Lark, MD, one of the leading authorities on women's health, has formulated a new natural-health product called Vision Answer for Women, designed to promote healthy eyes in women as they age. Dr. Lark's vision formula is available exclusively through Doctor's Preferred, Inc. (DPI), a subsidiary of Healthy Directions, LLC, one of the largest North American direct-mail supplement distributors.

Dr. Lark's believes research will disclose that women face an additional stressor on the eyes: decreased levels of estrogen. As women age and hormone levels change, estrogen depletion contributes to the drying of body tissues, including the thinning of the collagen that lines the blood vessels of the eyes, affecting the integrity of the capillaries that deliver blood and nutrients to the eyes.

To promote optimal eye health in women, Vision Answer for Women is specifically formulated to provide:

• The critical antioxidants, Vitamins A and C, necessary for healthy eyes
• Nature's most powerful pigments, the carotenoids, for free-radical protection
• Bioflavonoids to promote strong blood vessels and blood flow to the eyes
• Phytoestrogens to help balance a woman's hormones

“In my years of clinical experience, nutritional solutions have helped women safely and effectively support the health of their eyes,” says Dr. Lark. “The combination of comprehensive antioxidants to combat free-radical damage together with natural phytoestrogens to help promote hormonal balance works to maintain healthy eyes in women. Women, myself included, want to age gracefully and enjoy life to the fullest—with our eyes wide open.” Dr. Lark further states that she believes future research will confirm her belief.

Dr. Lark is widely recognized for her strides toward raising awareness of women's health issues, such as obesity, hormone replacement therapy, and osteoporosis. She pioneered the use of women's self-care treatments based on diet, nutrition, exercise, and stress management, and has penned a number of books, including Fibroid Tumors & Endometrios and the Estrogen Decision. Her most recent title, which she co-authored, is The Chemistry of Success: Six Secrets of Peak Performance.

Her monthly newsletter, Women's Wellness Today, with a circulation of more than 130,000 subscribers, and her website, www.drlark.com, are dedicated to educating and empowering women to make the best choices for optimum health. Online visitors may also sign up for Dr. Lark's free biweekly e-newsletter, which presents breaking health news along with lifestyle tips, easy recipes, and simple exercises for health and well-being.
