Eye Nutrition Fact: N-Acetyl Cysteine and the Eyes April 24, 2009
Posted by Ruth in : Vision Supplements , add a commentN-Acetyl Cysteine [Circulatory, Glandular, Immune] is essential for the body to mount a defense against free radicals, and it supports the natural elimination of harmful toxins.
This nutrient is a precursor to glutathione, one of the body’s most powerful antioxidants. Consequently, N-acetyl cysteine can step up the body’s own efforts to combat oxidative stress and damage. N-acetyl cysteine protects healthy cells against damage from oxidative stressors. Its principal benefits include protecting the liver, cardiovascular system, skin and eyes.

Women who took a combination of folic acid, B6 and B12 for several years had a lower chance of developing the most common cause of vision loss in older Americans. http://tinyurl.com/wholefoodvitamins
A team led by William G. Christen of Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School found that women who took a combination of folic acid and vitamins B6 and B12 had a 35 percent to 40 percent lower risk of developing age-related macular degeneration than the women who took a placebo. The results are reported in tomorrow’s Archives of Internal Medicine.
ps: The beneficial effect of supplementing with these B vitamins might be due to the lowering effect they have on homocysteine levels.
