Product Overview

The eye is a highly specialized organ with unique nutritional requirements. Carnosine Complex provides comprehensive support for eye health, addressing both common age-related concerns like cataracts and serious conditions such as macular degeneration.

Understanding Eye Health Challenges

Cataracts Cataracts occur as a result of damage to the protein structure of the eye's lens, usually due to free radical activity. The crystalline lens requires an adequate supply of anti-oxidant nutrients and botanicals that can neutralize free radicals and protect its delicate structure.

Macular Degeneration Macular degeneration refers to the deterioration of the macula—the central portion of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. The images are formed on the macula, making this condition particularly serious for vision quality.

Major risk factors for macular degeneration include:

• Smoking and aging
• Atherosclerosis (blockage of the arteries)
• High blood pressure

Two forms of macular degeneration exist:

1. "Dry" form: Cellular debris (drusen) gradually accumulates in the retina
2. "Wet" form: Characterized by abnormal growth of small blood vessels (neovascularization) under the retina

Treatment of wet-form macular degeneration is relatively straightforward with anti-laser therapy, while treatment of dry form requires careful nutritional support using anti-oxidants and nutrients that reduce the risk of atherosclerosis.

Glaucoma Glaucoma involves increased intraocular pressure—pressure within the eyeball that must be kept within narrow limits. Excessive pressure damages the delicate collagen structure supporting the eye, potentially leading to blockages of eye fluids and elevated pressure. Treatment must focus on reducing intraocular pressure and enhancing collagen metabolism within the eye.

Multi-Targeted Eye Protection

This formula addresses eye health through several scientifically-validated pathways:

Macular Carotenoid Protection

• Lutein (600mcg): The primary carotenoid concentrated in the macula, filtering harmful blue light and acting as a powerful antioxidant
• Zeaxanthin (300mcg): Works synergistically with lutein in the macula to protect photoreceptor cells from light-induced damage
• Beta Carotene (2mg): Vitamin A precursor essential for retinal health
• Lycopene (4mg): Carotenoid with powerful antioxidant properties

Advanced Antioxidant Network

• L-Carnosine (12.5mg): Dipeptide that specifically protects the lens from glycation and oxidative damage, helping prevent cataract formation
• NAC (N-Acetyl cysteine, 35mg): Precursor to glutathione, the eye's most powerful endogenous antioxidant
• Alpha Lipoic Acid (5mg): Universal antioxidant that deactivates free radicals and regenerates other antioxidants
• Coenzyme Q10 (5mg): Supports cellular energy production and provides antioxidant protection to retinal tissues
• Vitamin C (50mg): Essential water-soluble antioxidant concentrated in ocular tissues
• Vitamin E (7.5mg): Lipid-soluble antioxidant protecting cell membranes

Eye Structure & Collagen Support

• DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid, 6mg): Omega-3 fatty acid that is a major structural component of the retina
• Phosphatidylcholine (6mg): Essential phospholipid for cell membrane integrity
• Taurine (6mg): Amino acid highly concentrated in the retina, supporting photoreceptor function
• Vitamin C + Bioflavonoids: Critical for collagen synthesis and strengthening blood vessel walls in the eye

Vascular & Circulation Enhancement

• Bilberry Extract (25mg): Traditional European herb rich in anthocyanins, supporting night vision and capillary strength
• Grape Seed Extract (10mg): Proanthocyanidins that strengthen blood vessel walls and improve ocular circulation
• Gotu Kola (Centella asiatica, 10mg): Supports collagen formation and microcirculation
• Quercetin (12mg): Flavonoid with anti-inflammatory and vascular-protective properties
• Citrus Bioflavonoids (2mg), Hesperidin (2mg), Rutin (2mg): Synergistic flavonoids supporting capillary integrity

Essential Minerals & B-Vitamins

Complete mineral complex for eye health:

• Zinc (1.5mg): Concentrated in the retina and essential for vitamin A metabolism
• Selenium (10mcg): Cofactor for glutathione peroxidase, protecting against oxidative stress
• Copper (60mcg): Works with zinc to support antioxidant enzyme systems
• Chromium (17mcg): Supports healthy blood sugar regulation
• Magnesium (8mg): Essential cofactor for numerous enzymatic processes
• Manganese (200mcg): Supports antioxidant enzyme function

Full B-vitamin spectrum for optimal eye metabolism:

• B2 (Riboflavin, 1.5mg - 93% RDA): Essential for glutathione recycling
• B5 (8mg - 133% RDA): Supports cellular energy production
• B6 (1.5mg - 75% RDA): Cofactor for numerous metabolic pathways

Vitamin Support

• Vitamin A (500IU): Essential for retinal function and low-light vision
• Vitamin E (75% RDA): Protects polyunsaturated fatty acids in retinal membranes

A Comprehensive Approach

Carnosine Complex doesn't just provide isolated nutrients—it delivers a complete biochemical network of antioxidants, structural components, and cofactors that work synergistically to protect your eyes from oxidative damage, support healthy collagen structure, maintain optimal macular density, and preserve clear vision throughout life.
