Protect Your Vision & See the Future– Defeat Age Related Macular Degeneration



Loss of vision is one of the largest distressing symptoms of ageing– loss of independence, effects on emotional health and the inability to participate in chosen activities are just a few of the common consequences one faces when suffering from visual impairment.

Recent Government Statistics show that the life expectancy in the UK is predicted to increase in the coming years– in correlation the number of cases of blindness is likely to take its toll as the population in the UK ages.
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of blindness in the UK, with almost 50% of cases in the UK diagnosed as AMD. The condition comes in two forms both wet and dry– however dry AMD is the most common and highly prevalent in people 50+.

AMD is the loss of central vision in the eye, to the extent that an individual only has peripheral vision remaining which limits their ability to complete certain activities. Maintaining the macula of the eye can help prevent loss of vision, hence lowering the risk of blindness dramatically. In essence the macula of the eye should consist of Lutein, Zeaxanthin and Meso-Zeaxanthin in order for it to remain healthy– but unfortunately as one ages the body is unable to produce these carotenoids as effectively, therefore causing the vision to deteriorate.

Supplements are available in the market to help support and maintain eye health and supply the right nutrition for the macular. Most commonly used supplements in the market ONLY help restore Lutein and Zeaxanthin , whereby the Lutein found from the diet is then converted into Meso-Zexanthin. However not all patients are able to make this conversion, hence making such supplements ineffective.

A Step Forward as Success Continues– The Story of ZEON Healthcare


PRESS RELEASE

Surviving in such economic conditions is by far the most daunting experience for any business.  Operational spending cuts within organisations are made as consumer spending decreases– but for a small company in Upper Heyford, Oxford, this was the perfect time to invest in a new business establishment.

After witnessing the worst company failures due the economic downturn, worries arose for small businesses all across the UK.  Almost 27,000 businesses including major retailers were forced to close down as the recession first  hit the UK back in 2008-since then not much has changed. Major companies are still struggling with the impact the recession has had on consumer buying habits and are forced to keep spending budgets to a minimum, but not for ZEON Healthcare.

The  small pharmaceutical company first began their venture back in 1997. Starting from a small partner run business, selling  dermatological products and sunscreens direct to consumers—the company began to see great success  within the first few years. Wasting no time, the pair set off building alliances with major health and beauty retailers such as Boots and Superdrug in 1999.

As expected, the huge volume of sales and the expansion of the business led the partners to take on more staff hence the requirement for new headquarters. As the years progressed , the company grew– introducing new brands and extended their product lines  year on year– at which point  finding a bigger business establishment was crucial in order to provide quality and efficient services not only to customers but all involved in the running of the business.

The company moved again in 2004 to the Cherwell Innovation Centre in Upper Heyford, where business increased dramatically. Despite the threat of recession , due to strong relationships with suppliers and a positive brand positioning, ZEON Healthcare even as a small organisation with a workforce of 8 are surviving the economic crisis.

The great success of ZEON Healthcare has now opened a new chapter for the company. Having launched a new beauty line early this year, the expansion has once again given ZEON Healthcare an excuse to further invest in  a new 
administrative centre and are continuing their profitable
journey in Weston-on-the-Green, Oxford.
