ginger cataract : cortisol-natural">ginger Crystalline Oxidative Stress and Anti-Oxidant Approach

The cataract is the opacification of the lens, the leading cause of reversible blindness worldwide. Central mechanism: stress lens oxidative and protein aggregation.

Mechanisms

• α-crystallins aggregated by oxidative stress
• Ocular glutathione decreased with age
• UV-B and glycation (in diabetics) accelerate
• NF-kB in the lens epithelium during inflammation

Ginger action + turmeric + turmeric-synergy-x20-inti-unique">piperine

• Curcumin protects crystallins from aggregation (animal models)
• Piperine allows bioavailability (but limited ocular penetration)
• Vitamin C from lemon + endogenous glutathione stimulated by dietary antioxidants
• Preventive rather than curative approach
