What Is Eye Support (V) Supplement?
Eye Support (V) Supplement is a traditional Chinese herbal formula designed to support healthy vision, visual clarity, eye moisture, optic nerve nourishment, and long-term eye wellness.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), healthy vision depends on adequate Liver Blood, Liver Yin, and Kidney Yin. These systems nourish the eyes, maintain healthy fluids, and support clear, comfortable vision. When Yin and Blood become deficient, the eyes may receive insufficient nourishment, contributing to dryness, blurred or cloudy vision, floaters, reduced night vision, eye fatigue, or discomfort after prolonged visual activity.
Frequent use of computers, smartphones, tablets, and televisions may place additional demands on the eyes. According to TCM principles, prolonged visual concentration may consume Liver Blood and Yin, gradually reducing eye comfort and visual endurance.
This empirical herbal blend is traditionally used to nourish Yin and Blood, support healthy eye function and fluid balance, promote visual clarity, and maintain optic nerve and age-related eye wellness. It is commonly chosen for dry or watery eyes, blurred or cloudy vision, floaters, reduced night vision, digital eye strain, and tired eyes.*

Suggested Combination for Complete Eye Wellness
For blurred vision, floaters, dry or watery eyes, cloudy vision, reduced night vision, or digital eye strain, Eye Support (V) is commonly paired with Spleen Support and Energy Endurance.
In TCM, healthy eyesight depends on nourishing the Liver and Kidney as well as maintaining strong Spleen function. The Spleen transforms food into Qi and Blood, providing nourishment for the Liver and eyes. Spleen Support is traditionally used to strengthen Spleen and Stomach Qi, promote digestion and nutrient absorption, and support the production of Qi and Blood.
Energy Endurance is traditionally used to replenish Qi, support healthy circulation and vitality, and promote the efficient delivery of nourishment throughout the body. Together, these formulas support Liver and Kidney nourishment, Spleen Qi, Qi and Blood production, healthy circulation, visual comfort, and long-term eye wellness.*

Common Signs You May Need Eye Support (V) Supplement
Eye Support (V) is traditionally used for patterns associated with insufficient Liver Blood, Liver Yin, Kidney Yin, reduced eye nourishment, and visual fatigue. Different individuals may experience different signs, including:
Blurred Vision or Reduced Visual Clarity
Objects may appear less sharp, vision may become blurry during reading or screen use, or visual clarity may gradually decline throughout the day. In TCM, this pattern may be associated with insufficient nourishment reaching the eyes.
Eye Fatigue During Daily Activities
Reading, driving, computer work, or prolonged visual concentration may leave the eyes feeling tired, strained, or uncomfortable. The eyes may fatigue more quickly during visually demanding activities.
Dry Eyes or Excessive Tearing
The eyes may feel dry, irritated, gritty, or uncomfortable. Some individuals may experience excessive tearing even when the eyes feel dry, reflecting an imbalance in eye nourishment and healthy fluid regulation.
Floaters or Visual Disturbances
Small floating spots, threads, cobweb-like shapes, or shadows may occasionally move across the field of vision. TCM may associate this pattern with insufficient Liver Blood, Kidney Yin, or healthy circulation affecting the eyes.
Difficulty Seeing at Night
Some individuals may have difficulty adapting to low-light conditions or maintaining comfortable vision while driving or performing activities at night. This pattern is traditionally associated with diminished Liver Blood and Kidney Essence nourishment.
Increasing Eye Strain From Digital Screens
Extended use of computers, smartphones, tablets, or televisions may contribute to eye strain, dryness, visual fatigue, or discomfort that becomes more noticeable throughout the day.
Age-Related Changes in Vision
Visual sharpness, focusing ability, night vision, or overall eye comfort may gradually change with age. Traditional Chinese Medicine associates healthy eye aging with adequate Liver Blood, Kidney Yin, and Essence.
Recurring Eye Discomfort or Sensitivity
The eyes may feel irritated, sensitive, tired, or uncomfortable after prolonged concentration, environmental exposure, lack of sleep, or physical exhaustion.
Difficulty Focusing or Maintaining Visual Endurance
Some individuals may have difficulty maintaining focus while reading, driving, or completing detailed visual tasks. The eyes may become tired quickly or require frequent breaks.
Individuals with chronic, recurring, or long-standing patterns affecting vision may benefit from complementary herbal support selected according to their underlying Traditional Chinese Medicine pattern.
Sudden vision loss, new flashes or floaters, a curtain-like shadow, or severe eye pain requires immediate evaluation.
Diet and Lifestyle Tips for Healthy Vision
According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, healthy vision depends on adequate nourishment of the Liver, Kidneys, Blood, and Yin, along with healthy circulation, balanced digestion, proper rest, and supportive daily habits.
Daily Habits to Support Healthy Vision
- Eat regular, balanced meals on a consistent schedule
- Choose warm, freshly prepared foods when digestion is weak
- Include colorful vegetables and antioxidant-rich fruits
- Get adequate sleep and maintain a consistent sleep schedule
- Stay physically active through walking, Tai Chi, Qigong, stretching, or other regular movement
- Use the 20-20-20 rule during prolonged screen use: every 20 minutes, look approximately 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds
- Take regular breaks from computers, smartphones, tablets, and televisions
- Wear appropriate UV-protective eyewear outdoors
- Stay well hydrated throughout the day
- Manage stress through meditation, deep breathing, relaxation, or other calming practices
- Allow the eyes adequate rest after reading, driving, or detailed visual work
Foods & Habits to Limit
- Excess sugar and sugary beverages
- Highly processed foods and snacks
- Excessively greasy, fried, or heavily processed foods
- Excess alcohol consumption
- Smoking and tobacco products
- Frequent late-night screen use
- Prolonged visual strain without regular breaks
- Chronic sleep deprivation
- Irregular meals and excessive late-night eating
Foods Traditionally Supportive of Eye Health
Foods traditionally considered supportive include dark leafy greens, carrots, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, blueberries, goji berries, black sesame seeds, walnuts, eggs, fish, whole grains, and other nutrient-rich foods that nourish the Liver, Blood, Yin, and overall vitality.
Warm soups, cooked vegetables, adequate protein, healthy fats, and easily digested meals may also support the Spleen’s ability to transform food into the Qi and Blood needed to nourish the eyes.
Supporting Healthy Vision From Within
Traditional Chinese Medicine associates the eyes with the Liver, while the Kidneys store Essence and provide foundational nourishment for long-term visual function. The Spleen also plays an important role by transforming food into Qi and Blood.
Consistent nutrition, healthy digestion, quality sleep, regular movement, stress management, proper hydration, healthy screen habits, and eye protection can complement a traditional Chinese herbal wellness routine and support visual clarity, eye comfort, and long-term eye health.
Individual needs may vary according to constitution, digestive tolerance, health status, lifestyle, and Traditional Chinese Medicine pattern.

Research on Traditional Herbs Used in Eye Support (V)
Modern research has examined several herbs used in Eye Support (V), particularly Ginseng (Ren Shen), Chrysanthemum (Ju Hua), and Cassia Seed (Jue Ming Zi), for their antioxidant activity, effects on oxidative stress, retinal and lens-cell protection, healthy circulation, and potential roles in supporting eye wellness.
Experimental research published in the Journal of Ginseng Research investigated Panax ginseng berry extract in human retinal pigment epithelial cells and a mouse retinal model exposed to blue light. The study examined oxidative stress, inflammatory pathways, cellular protection, and retinal tissue changes. These findings are preclinical and do not establish the same effects in humans or from the finished Eye Support (V) formula.
Research published in Experimental Eye Research evaluated antioxidant compounds extracted from Chrysanthemum flowers and their protective activity against glycoxidative damage involving human αA-crystallin, an important structural protein found in the eye lens. This was laboratory research rather than a clinical trial.
A comprehensive review published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology examined the traditional uses, phytochemistry, pharmacology, toxicity, and quality control of Cassia Seed. The review discussed its longstanding traditional use for supporting eyesight while identifying the need for further safety and clinical research.
A human study published in Medicina investigated Cassia Seed tea in relation to dry-eye measurements, near vision, intraocular pressure, pupil size, and antioxidant activity. Although the study reported measurable changes during the research period, its findings apply to the tested Cassia tea preparation and should not be interpreted as proof of the effects of Eye Support (V).
From a Traditional Chinese Medicine perspective, healthy vision depends on adequate Liver Blood, Liver Yin, Kidney Yin, Kidney Essence, and the smooth circulation of Qi and Blood to the eyes. The herbs in Eye Support (V) are traditionally combined to nourish these systems, maintain healthy fluids, support visual comfort, and promote long-term eye wellness.

honey is the only binding agent
no artificial fillers or ingredients
herbs harvested at the height of potency
100% Natural
Our herbal supplements are made with natural honey as the binder. Honey can support the lungs, intestine, spleen, and stomach; It works as a natural preservative with antibacterial and healing properties. Unlike other herbal supplement companies that use starch, magnesium, and other chemical substances as binders for their supplements, we only use 100% honey. We also avoid using vegetable capsules because they require chemical components to form the capsule shape.
Peak Harvest Herbs
The herbs in our herbal pill blends are harvested at the height of their potency and they are substantially more expensive than less potent herbs that were harvested in the pre-or post-season, but in our view, there is no substitute for premium quality.

Ann's Story
Here's my story.
If you feel skeptical or unsure of Chinese herbal remedies, I could hardly blame you. I wasn't a believer either until my daughter grew very sick and my father (the 4th generation herbalist) helped her get better with herbs.
I was born into a family of herbalists. My father, my grandfather, my great-grandfather, great-great grandfather were all herbalists. I represent the 5th generation in this long lineage dating back to Imperial China.
When I was three or four years old, I started to learn herbal songs and how to identify herbs. As I got older, I was taught how to process the herbs while working in my dad’s clinic in Vietnam. After we immigrated to the United States, my dad asked me if I wanted to pursue a career in TCM as an herbalist or acupuncturist. I said, “No, just leave me alone, Dad. I will find something I enjoy doing for work.” So, he left me alone to find my own way.
I wanted nothing to do with herbal medicine until I gave birth to my second daughter, Catherine, who was born with severe gastric reflux. When Catherine was 10 days old, I had to take her to the ER for IV injections into her little hand because she couldn’t keep milk down. Besides vomiting, she also was having diarrhea. Catherine was losing nutrition from both ends, so her tiny body was shrinking. At that time my dad warned me, “She needs to be treated with herbal medicine, otherwise she will have seizures later on.” I didn’t fully understand what my dad was talking about, so I ignored him.
My daughter got so ill that she could only take half an ounce of milk per hour. Before feeding her, I would use a syringe and shoot Zantac into her mouth to lessen the vomiting. As time passed, she needed milk more often, and consequently more Zantac. By the time Catherine was 8 months old, she needed to be fed and medicated 11 times a day.
I could hardly sleep, eat, shower or rest. Even at night, I had to drape my daughter over my shoulder for her to sleep. If I put Catherine down, she would vomit. I barely had time to squeeze in a 5-minute shower once or twice a week for myself. I was exhausted, but what could I do? I had to care for my daughter and do my best to survive each day with the hope that she would get better or at the very least her condition would not worsen.
Catherine had to wear a turtleneck with two sweaters along with a baby cap and scarf to be outside during the heat of summer, even when temperatures were 100 plus degrees. If I didn’t cover her up, she would have a runny nose, cough, and non stop vomiting. How will she be able to go to school or anywhere with air conditioning?
One day we went to a Vietnamese pho restaurant. After I set Catherine down into the high-chair, I turned around and adjusted my chair. Then I heard a woman’s shout, “Look at her!” I looked in the direction she pointed. It was Catherine…her eyes rolled up and her entire body stiff and shaking with fluid coming out of her mouth. Someone said, “Squeeze some lemon into her mouth.” I did it without hesitating and Catherine’s body relaxed.
We rushed her to the ER. For 3 days she was in the NICU where they monitored her brain. The doctors told me I was lucky because my daughter’s seizure didn’t last for more than 3 minutes which would have damaged her brain. After that I always carried a piece of lemon because I had no idea when my baby girl might have another seizure.
The seizures started to come weekly, so the doctor prescribed anti-seizure medication. Catherine wasn’t even 1 year of age, and already she was taking Zantac 11 times plus anti-seizure medicine 3 times a day. It was nearly impossible to administer the anti-seizure medicine because whenever I took out the syringe, she would cry and start vomiting.
I took Catherine to see a specialist at CHOC. I asked, “Doctor, have you ever seen any infant with this condition get well?” The doctor replied, “It depends. Some will grow out of it, but some don’t. If they don’t, then they will have to take medication for the rest of their life.”
“What do you mean by grow out of it?” The doctor explained that Catherine might get better by herself as she got older.
My mind was racing. “All this time the prescribed medication has not been treating her stomach?” The doctor said, “No, it only helps to guide the food down, so she won’t vomit it back up. That’s why you have to give it to her before the feeding.”
“Well, what if she doesn’t grow out of it?” In that case, Catherine will be dependent upon medication for the rest of her life. The doctor further informed me that she too was born with gastro reflux and is still taking medicine for the condition.
Her statement was like lightning in my brain. If the doctor can’t even treat herself for gastro reflux, how can she help my daughter? Seeing the futility of my path, I turned to my dad for help.
My dad advised me to stop all western drugs and to give her an herbal prescription 3 times a day. Administering medicine 3 times instead of 14 times a day to Catherine was a godsend to me. Even though it sounded too good to be true, I figured that I could still give Zantac to Catherine if she didn’t get better or continued to vomit.
After one month of herbs 3 times a day, Catherine vomited less and less. To test Catherine, I let her cry to see if she would vomit. She didn’t, so I knew she was getting better. After another month of herbal medicine, Catherine was able to wear less clothing without getting a runny nose, coughing, or vomiting. After 3 months of herbal formulas, she stopped having episodes of gastro reflux and seizure. Catherine will enjoy a normal, healthy life.
Because of Catherine’s dramatic recovery, I was sold on Chinese medicine and asked my dad to treat me. I fainted very easily, especially during the winter. After a few months of herbal formulas, I have never fainted again.
I started to have time to think and tried to understand why a piece of lemon helps to relax the muscles and stop a seizure. Lemon is a common citrus, yet it has magical powers that we don’t understand and underestimate. I wanted to learn more and find answers, so I decided to go to China which has a long history of herbal medicine. I went to TCM schools in China and Hong Kong and worked in the TCM hospitals to learn from the best herbal doctors in the world.
When I was there, I knew one day I would want to become an herbalist, but how can I get a steady supply of high-quality herbs. My dad and I backpacked across China and visited many farmlands. We interviewed farmers to grow herbs for us. Our products are used with the highest quality herbs that have been harvested at the height of their potency. They are substantially more expensive than less potent herbs that were harvested in the pre- or post-season.
After I came back to the United State, I worked with my dad and learned from his experiences and studied the formulas that our ancestors passed down. What I have been through helped me to understand the importance of health. Without health, don’t even talk about career, beauty, education, freedom, etc. I now have worked with many families who have suffered as I have. Their endearing appreciation drives me to work harder.
