Lenstatin™ introduces the world's first nutritional supplement for patients with early cataract formation. Based on real scientific data.
Specifically targeted to protect and promote the health of the eyes' crystalline lens, Lenstatin is the very first and the world’s only nutritional supplement which contains a unique proprietary blend of antioxidants which have been scientifically shown to slow the growth of cataracts. The Crystalline Lens:
The crystalline lens of the human eye is a transparent structure located behind the iris a
nd the pupil which focuses light rays entering the eye to project a clear image onto the retina. It is composed of multiple layers of metabolically active lens epithelial cells which must function normally to maintain the transparency of the lens and clear vision. Cataracts:
A cataract is a clouding of the lens due to gradual opacification of lens epithelial fibers resulting in blurred vision and loss of best corrected visual acuity. The most common cause of cataracts is the aging process, but cataract formation is also associated with a number of other conditions including the use of certain medications, previous trauma, prolonged ultraviolet exposure, and systemic diseases such as diabetes. Oxidative injury to lens epithelial cells appears to be an important underlying pathophysiologic factor in nearly all types of cataract formation and progression. Oxidative damage to lens epithelial cells causes a progressive clouding of lens epithelial proteins, reduced transparency of the lens, and subsequent loss of vision. The initial diagnosis of cataracts often comes as a surprise to most individuals. A typical scenario is one in which an individual begins to notice gradual or slight blurring and clouding of vision under certain lighting conditions or for certain tasks. As the symptoms persist or become more pronounced, it usually prompts an appointment with an eye care professional for what is expected to be a new prescription. When the examination reveals the onset of cataracts, common responses may be, “I thought cataracts were only something my grandparents would get!” And, “Aren’t I too young for cataracts?” Or, “How did I get cataracts?” Cataracts can develop and cause symptoms of blurred vision at any age. In many situations no underlying cause can be identified; cataracts develop from multiple factors: genetic predisposition, environmental exposure and the aging process. It is not uncommon for cataracts to begin to develop in persons in their sixties, fifties, and even in their forties. Lenstatin and Cataracts:
If the cataract is not ready for surgery it is often asked, “Is there anything I can do to promote the health of my eye and my lens at the current time?” Pursuing an active lifestyle, minimizing exposure to contributory environmental factors, reassessment of medication regimens, and maintaining a healthy diet are all important goals in promoting overall and visual health. In addition, a great deal of scientific information suggests that dietary supplementation with select antioxidants and micronutrients may provide additional support of health in many conditions. With a unique proprietary blend of anti-cataractogenic antioxidants and micronutrients, specifically targeted to protect and promote the health of the crystalline lens, Lenstatin is the dietary supplement of choice to support lens metabolism in cataract.
