Plant Source
VividEYE™ is based on apple mint, which is a special member of the genus Mentha. It is characterized by its hairy leaves and stems. This perennial plant is native to southern Europe, North Africa, and parts of temperate Asia, and is also found in the Alps. Unlike many other types of mint, apple mint contains no menthol. Instead, its flavor is characterized by a unique, mild taste of green apples. Apple mint plays an important role in traditional Mediterranean medicine as it offers a wide range of therapeutic benefits.
