Company Profile Our Story ScienceBased Health (SBH) develops evidence-based nutraceuticals specialized in eye health. The company was founded in 1997 by a group of forward-thinking ophthalmologists and optometrists who discovered an overwhelming level of consumer interest in wellness and prevention, a great deal of confusion in the marketplace, and increasing clinical evidence supporting the role of nutrition in promoting good health and well-being. As many were looking to their doctors for guidance in the area of prevention and wellness, SBH focused on supporting eyecare practitioners with credible information and scientifically sound nutritional products that they confidently recommend to their patients. Since its founding, SBH has been committed to enhancing the level of patient care through product innovation, leadership, education and support. SBH distributes its nutritional formulations through thousands of recommending ophthalmologists and optometrists. The products are available through eyecare professionals or directly through SBH. Science Doesn’t Stand Still and Neither Do We SBH regularly analyzes emerging research on nutrition’s role in eye and body health and swiftly updates its formulations when warranted by the strength of the science. The merits of new research and formulation updates are carefully considered by the Company’s team of nutrition scientists, researchers and Scientific Advisory Board members, comprised of leaders in the fields of ophthalmology and nutrition. SBH products always reflect the most current scientific research. Over the years, we have seen exciting nutrition research open new avenues of treatment in eye care, and this is only the beginning. We look forward to bringing future developments in nutrition and visual health to our customers. Our Quality Standards SBH products are manufactured in state-of-the-art U.S. NSF®-Certified facilities that meet or exceed the new GMPs (Good Manufacturing Practices) that govern the ways in which dietary supplements are manufactured. SBH products utilize pharmaceutical grade ingredients, wherever available, and include meaningful levels of key nutrients. The formulations are not sold in retail stores. Rather, they are shipped fresh directly to customers shortly after being manufactured. Learn more The New Standard for Health Support In 2001, The AREDS clinical trial, supported by the National Eye Institute, was published in the October issue of Archives of Ophthalmology. The AREDS trial showed that an antioxidant and zinc supplement could provide significant protection for macular health. Published in 2013, the AREDS2 clinical trial now provides added validation for the use of nutrients such as lutein, zeaxanthin, and other antioxidants for protecting visual health. The use of an AREDS / AREDS2 based nutritional supplement has now become an important component of mainstream care for those with AMD. We are learning that the AREDS and AREDS2 findings are just the tip of the iceberg, as hundreds of new research studies over the years continue to show health benefits of other key nutrients. Product Overview The Company's proprietary formulations include HydroEye®, a patented oral nutritional supplement tested in a randomized controlled clinical trial; OcularProtect®, a comprehensive multinutrient formula for eyes and overall body health; MaculartProtect Complete® AREDS2, a convenient, all-in-one formulation for macular and whole body health based on the AREDS and AREDS2 clinical trials; OmegaAdvance® an advanced omega-3 fish oil supplement for visual and whole body health; Optic Nerve Formula®, a specialized formulation with phytonutrients and fatty acids, designed to protect optic nerve health; DiaVis®, nutritional support for retinal circulation; and other high quality products to support eye health.
