Ocu-Care+ is a scientifically homeopathic macular degeneration
eye vitamin, which specifically addresses the needs of the
physiology and function of the eye. Specific nutritional care
and support for our eyes can help preserve our eyesight from
waning as we grow older as well as help protect us from
specific eye problems and common but incapacitating
dysfunction.
With proper
nutritional input, our eyes can serve us faithfully all of our
life. This formula addresses the nutritional needs of our eyes
with specific Advanced homeopathic medicinals and micro-nutritionals,
yielding neurochemical instructions for the healing and
regeneration of tissues within the eye, from the lens and
cornea to the retina and the optic nerves, supplying the known
needed nutrients to allow our eyes to function correctly.
Ocu-Care+ is a
homeopathic medicinal formulated to provide extra nutritional
support for the body when under a physician's care for such
problems as detached retina and inflammation of the optic
nerve, macular degeneration, painful pressure within the eye
and glaucoma, amblyopia, asthenopia, cataracts, retinitis,
trachoma, as well as interstitial, ulcerous or vascular
keratitis, rheumaticiritis-sharp shooting pain through the eye
and ciliary neuralgia.
Without a
physician's care and the corresponding and complementary
appropriate nutritional strategy, such as Ocu-Care+,
complications such as macular degeneration, glaucoma and
cataracts can occur or grow worse.
Researchers
from Japan (Biol Pharm Bull, 93; 16 [9], 870-5) have found
that within the lens of the eye, levels of L-Glutathione
significantly decrease with age, and that changes in
glutathione levels significantly increase the vulnerability of
the lens to cataract formation, the leading cause of impaired
vision. L-Glutathione is a powerful, and perhaps the most
available antioxidant to the body. And specifically, high
levels of glutathione afford protection for a number of lens
related functions. Glutathione, in its antioxidant strength,
protects the sulfur-containing proteins from oxidizing or free
radical damage. When proteins become oxidized within the lens
of the eye, they become more opaque, clouding the lens, and
stopping light from entering. Glutathione is also necessary in
maintaining the Sodium-Potassium Pump of the body and
specifically its ability to move sodium, potassium and calcium
salts in and out of the lens itself. And again, if these salts
are disproportionate, cloudiness sets in and vision is
obscured.
As Japanese
researchers have pointed out, most cases of cataracts may be
linked to scant supplies of glutathione within the body,
something that can easily be prevented with appropriate
supplementation. Recently in California, researchers have
found that macular degeneration, the deterioration of the
macular at the back of the retina, was correlated to low
glutathione levels as well (British Journal of Ophthalmology,
94; 78 [10], 791-4), and when taking into consideration other
variables such as smoking, age, cardiovascular disease and
multivitamin use, depletion of glutathione by itself was
thought to be a major contributing factor behind macular
degeneration. Other compounds which are important in eye
maintenance, including all the cells of the retina, lens and
the aqueous fluid, are selenium, a potent antioxidant and
precursor of glutathione, Vitamins C and E, and zinc,
manganese and magnesium, all of which are amply provided in
OCU-CARE+. |
