About 80% of people with Macular Degeneration have the Dry form...

The dry form precedes and is less severe than the wet form of ARMD...

If you have visual distortion, or your eye doctor says you have soft drusen, be sure to consider including Lipid Cleanse in your program...

We have developed a line of 6 Macular Wellness formulas to support your macula, whether your condition is dry or wet, but the wet form gets more complicated, so additional support will be helpful in that case.

Let's look at the Macular Wellness formulations:

Coenzymes:

Vitamin B9 supplies 100% of the recommended daily amount of Folate as the active co-enzyme 5-MTHF (Methyltetrahydrofolate) rather than the USP form folic acid used in most supplements...

Vitamin B12 is supplied in both of the co-enzyme forms, Adenosyl Cobalamin and Methyl Cobalamin with a total dose of 1000 mcg.

We emphasize the mitochondrial form Adenosyl Cobalamin in our formulations because the Methyl form is also a catalyst for methylation of Mercury...

 We still do include 100% of the daily recommended amount of Methyl Cobalamin which is just 6 mcg since deficiency can affect nerve function and vision...

Vitamin B15 in included as TMG (Trimethylglycine) from beets. TMG is the best methyl donor since it can donate 3 methyl groups per molecule, and it increases oxygen metabolism in the cells...

Vitamin B20 is included as ALCAR (Acetyl-L-carnitine) to support transport of fats into the mitochondria for oxidation and energy production, rather than building up as soft drusen behind the retina...

Vitamin C is included in its fat soluble form of Ascorbyl Palmitate since the fat soluble form performs its antioxidant function in lipid phase areas such as cell membranes and drusen...

We use Ultra Absorption CoQ10 to support mitochondrial health and burning of fats that otherwise build up and contribute to damage...

Magnesium (from Magnesium Taurate) is included because it helps improve Calcium handling. Calcium is one of the initial deposits upon which other metabolic wastes collect...

Other Metabolic Cofactors:

The R-Lipoate we use is a stabilized and bioenhanced form of Lipoic Acid... Many supplements use Lipoic Acid as an ingredient, which is the synthetic form, with half of the molecules spiraling the wrong direction... R-Lipoic Acid is better, as it is the natural chirality found in living systems... We use a special patented form of this natural compound that is about 40 times more effective...

Amines:

The dipeptide L-Carnosine prevents cross-linking of proteins and sugars via glycation, which is one of the main pathways of damage to the tissue...

S-Acetyl GSH is a source of intracellular Glutathione, which is essential for both antioxidant protection in the formation of Glutathione Peroxidase, and for 

N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC) supports tissue detoxification and lymphatic drainage... 

Taurine (supplied as Magnesium Taurate) is an amino acid that provides antioxidant benefits to the retina...

Botanical Factors:

We make 6 Macular Wellness formulas currently, each with the same ingredients except for a different carotenoid content...

The reason is that all the carotenoids compete with each other for absorption...

With the carotenoids separated, you can take them at different meals and ensure better absorption.

Your body cannot make carotenoids for itself, so it must get them in the diet...

Here are the six carotenoids we offer at this time:

Astaxanthin comes from a red algae, and is known to be protective for the retina...

Crocin is a carotenoid found in Saffron. Since Saffron is the most expensive spice on the planet, we get standardized Crocin from Gardenia for our Crocin formula, while there is also some Crocin in our Safranal formula...

Lutein is the carotenoid with the same root meaning as the central area of the retina, the Macula lutea, which means yellow spot.

Meso-Zeaxanthin can be made from Zeaxanthin in the body, but some people are not able to make enough...

Safranal is a carotenoid in Saffron, the most prized spice in the world... We use a standardized concentrate, so it is even more expensive than the spice itself... but it is well worth it, since studies show a 1-2 line improvement in visual acuity in ARMD...

Zeaxanthin is a primary macular pigment, along with Lutein...

We don't stop there, however...

We look at all of the clinical and research data to select the most effective combination of botanical ingredients to support and stimulate Macular Wellness, including:

Curcumin is a powerfully healing concentrate from the root of Curcuma longa, a member of the ginger family...

Quercetin Dihydrate is the water soluble form of Quercetin, which is the most researched bioflavonoid... We use the Dihydrate form because it is about 8 times more bioavailable.

Polyphenols from Green Tea, including ECGC (epigallocatechin gallate) and other Catechins improve longevity...

Ginsenosides from Ginseng are adaptogens that help with everything in the body...

Salvianolic Acid helps restore visual function...

C3G (Cyanidin 3-Glucoside) is a bioflavonoid from the Emperor's forbidden black rice that is useful for macular health...

Trans-Resveratrol is another polyphenol that helps prevent aging and improve circulation...

Bioavailability Cofactors:

This formula includes our Bioavailability Complex to increase absorption at the mucosa of the small intestine, and vascular delivery to the tissues of the eyes.

The ingredients in this Fibonacci sequence are Vinpocetin (for brain and eye perfusion), Piperine (for absorption), Gingerol (also to boost absorption), Licorice Omnipotent (to harmonize all the ingredients in the formulation, just as it used in 80% of botanical formulations in Traditional Chinese Medicine, or TCM), Moringa (increasing the absorption of all of the nutrients), Niacin (to stimulate increased delivery by the circulatory system), and Ginkgo (for increasing ocular perfusion plus delivery to other body tissues as well)...

Purity & Potency:

As with all of our Functional Formulations™, Lipid Cleanse is completely free of undesirable excipients, like stearates that reduce bioavailability by coating both nutrients and the gut lining with a biofilm.

For Macula Regeneration, take a different Macular Wellness formula at each meal, and take Lipid Cleanse between meals if your stomach tolerates taking a capsule when it is empty...

If necessary for comfort, have Lipid Cleanse with a snack between meals...

If we produce an enteric formulation for drusen to enhance probiotic and systemic enzyme effects, we will avoid phthalates which are commonly used in medicines and enteric supplements, but wreak havoc on the immune and endocrine systems...

By the way, our remedies are supplied in Biophotonic Glass bottles to enhance the stability and bioenergetics of all the precious ingredients...

Our remedies are not mere supplements... They are Sacraments because their function is to support and stimulate healing of the body, mind and spirit...

They are made by hand with love and prayer, and they are energized by a scalar field of the Dominant Harmonic Frequency of Nature to increase their content of ORMUS (M-state spirit minerals, the condensates of the transition minerals that make up the immortal conscious body).

And please let us know if you need a referral to an eye doctor who will work with you in your Accelerated Self Healing™ process...

As you can see, we put our heart and soul into supporting your wellbeing...

We look forward to being on your Wellness Team!
