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+.
