Scientific studies conclusively show that the risk of age-related degenerative eye disease can be mitigated through nutritional modifications. Many scientists believe common diseases of the eye are largely preventable. According to one published report, "nutritional intervention to enhance the glutathione antioxidant capacity… may provide an effective way to prevent or treat age-related macular degeneration." Oxidative stress is implicated in every age related eye disease.

Even glaucoma has been linked with reduced blood flow and increased levels of damaging free radicals. Healthy eyes naturally contain high concentrations of antioxidants that protect against eye disease, however, as we age, synthesis of natural antioxidants is reduced, resulting in excessive free radical damage.

Without sufficient antioxidant protection, the delicate blood vessels in the eye are damaged by a process known as glycation. Glycation is glycation, the binding of proteins to glucose, which leads to micro vascular damage. To keep your eyes healthy, it’s vitally important to keep glucose levels under control, thus limiting oxidative damage caused by glycation. To help prevent ocular damage due to glycation, doctors in Europe have been using Benfotiamine with remarkable success.

You can reduce the oxidative load on the eye by adding antioxidants specific to ocular function. Ocular Factors contains a synergistic blend of all the nutrients that are vital to healthy eyes like N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine, an important precursor that enhances the body’s production of Glutathione, the most important antioxidant for the eye. The Lutein in Ocular Factors has been shown in studies to increase macular pigment density and lower risk of Age Related Macular Degeneration after just one month. Ocular Factors also contains Bilberry, Vitamin A (in the form of Beta Carotene) and a significant amount of bioflavonoids, some of nature’s most potent antioxidants. 180 Caps, 3 month supply
