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.

Frezyderm - The New Generation of Cosmetics

PRESS RELEASE

Wednesday 6th June 2012

Reduce the risk of cancer, whilst looking young– the new generation of cosmetics.


Growing old is something everyone must experience– it‟s part of human life. Greying hair, loss of sight and ageing skin are just a few of the symptoms suggesting that youth is diminishing . Reducing the appearance of ageing is an option– now delaying the appearance of ageing can also be an alternative.


Living in a city or any urban area can severely damage skin cells causing the appearance of wrinkles. Urban environmental damage is a common cause of ageing– the human skin is particularly sensitive to urban pollution –as the pollution produces radicals, the free radicals accelerate ageing causing damage to the skin.


As the skin ages there is a sudden rush to purchase expensive anti-ageing creams that can only help cover and reduce the appearance of wrinkles– so, unless Botox is affordable, nothing is younger look-ing than wrinkle free skin. Sunscreen protection is designed to protect the skin from all environmental factors that may cause skin damage– unfortunately many forget the extent of benefits a sunscreen provides and only purchase sunscreens as soon as the sun is predicted to come out.


The Sunscreen Velvet with its revolutionary technology (second skin technology) constitutes an invisible „guardian angel‟ layer to the skin, leaving it feeling velvet smooth, whilst protecting it against solar radiation– making it ideal for use as a foundation base, but with the ultimate protection from damaging UVA-ageing rays that may cause the risk of skin cancer.


The new generation of sunscreen by Frezyderm provides all year round protec-tion along with masking away any damage already caused to the skin.


Frezyderm Sunscreen Velvet not only caters for the basic demands of protection and moisturising, but is specially formulated to help reduce the appearance of wrinkles and give the skin a non-greasy, flawless finish.


This exceptional Greek brand, well established in Europe was introduced in the UK by ZEON healthcare, a dermoceutical –pharmaceutical company providing the world‟s outstanding brands , such as a leading sunscreen brand the sun mousse®, available in Boots and online.


As the skin damages so does the younger appearance. Skin defines age– its never too late to protect the skin from ageing with FrezyDerm.

PRESS RELEASE: Potentially damaging Zinc Oxide used in sunscreens – the sun mousse® is Zinc Oxide free!

Recent findings suggest the risk of cancer is increased when using products containing Zinc Oxide.  Selecting the right sunscreen,  is now more difficult than ever–  the sun mousse® is the answer.

Zinc Oxide is a widely used ingredient in most sunscreens. It acts as a physical block from harmful UVA and UVB rays. Not only does a recent study suggest that this compound is harmful, but it also sits on the skin leaving a sticky and greasy residue!

Unlike many other sunscreens  the sun mousse® is specially formulated to help protect the skin from damaging UVA and UVB rays, without the use of Zinc Oxide. Popular amongst major health and beauty retailer Boots, the sun mousse® has  fast established itself as a leader in the sunscreen market. Now with concerns that Zinc Oxide could be a significant threat to your skin’s health– the sun mousse® is sure to be the popular choice for the whole family!

the sun mousse® is available in SPF 20, SPF 30, SPF 30 for Kids and now SPF 50 and SPF 50 for kids.  the sun mousse® contains Octocrylene and  Polysilicone sun filters, to help protect you and your loved one’s from UVA and UVB rays. All variants allow your skin to breathe normally, reducing the risk of prickly heat!

Christian Hankins, Brand Manager of the sun mousse® claims “the sun mousse® is truly unique, not just because it’s a mousse but because it is rapidly absorbed into the secondary layer of the skin. This means the skin breath’s normally reducing the chances of getting prickly heat. Crucially, the sun mousse® contains the latest in sun protection technology. I truly believe the sun mousse® is the best way to protect the whole family.”
