OUR INGREDIENTS LIST

(And Their Functions in the Body)

Vitamins A,C,E { Common and Powerful Antioxidant Nutrients to Combat the Oxidative Changes that Drive Keratoconus Progression}

Zinc and Selenium { Have Antioxidant Functions and Serve as Cofactors in Collagen Synthesis To Support Repair of Corneal Tissue}

Copper { An Extremely Important Micronutrient that is Hard to Obtain in Diet that Is Found to Help Interfere With the Inflammatory Changes That Make Keratoconus Worse}

L-Glutathione { A Chemical that is Found in High Levels in the Normal Cornea that are in Very Low Amounts in Patients With Keratoconus}

N-Acetylcysteine { Found to Be An Important Co-Factor in Corneal Protection Against Oxidative Damage}

Scientific Studies Showing The Value of the Above Nutrients to Corneal Protection in Keratoconus

Sep 23, 2013 - UV produces reactive oxygen species (ROS) which render the cornea particularly susceptible to oxidative stress as a consequence of an imbalance between ROS production and antioxidant capacity of the cell [1]. Therefore, oxidative stress reflects increased production and/or impaired removal of ROS.
