Abstract:
Oral formulations for promoting eye health, and in particular for preventing or treating macular degeneration, are disclosed, containing zeaxanthin, a carotenoid pigment, and at least two or more additional ocular-active nutrients selected from lipoic acid, omega-3 fatty acids, plant-derived compounds such as flavonoids, anthocyanins, or polyphenolics, taurine, carnitine, Coenzyme-QM, carnosine, and nutrients that stimulate the production of glutathione. Processes are disclosed for identifying ocular-active nutrients that will interact in a synergistic and potentiating manner with zeaxanthin, to provide better and more effective protection, for eye health, than can be provided by zeaxanthin alone. Additional optional agents include zinc, vitamin E, and vitamin C.

Claim (Index 1):
A nutrient formulation for preventing or treating at least one ocular disorder in higher mammals, wherein said nutrient formulation comprises: a. a 3R-3\u2032R stereoisomer of zeaxanthin, in a daily dosage of at least 0.5 milligrams; and, b. at least two additional ocular-active nutrients that have been shown to have synergistic activity against at least one mammalian ocular disorder when combined with zeaxanthin, wherein said synergistic activity provided by said additional ocular-active nutrients provides greater efficacy, in preventing or treating at least one ocular disorder in humans, than can be achieved by zeaxanthin alone or by said two ocular-active nutrients alone.
