The eyes are highly dependent on GLUCOSE aka carbohydrate.
INSULIN actually enhances glucose metabolism in the eyes
And thus it prevents the death of the rods & cones that facilitate vision.
The metabolism in the eye is highly dependent on derivatives of vitamin B3.
In fact, giving eyes a metabolite of B3 (NMN):
⬩Restores metabolism in the eye
⬩Prevents oxidative stress
⬩COMPLETELY prevents death of retinal cells
A visual powerhouse!
It has been shown for over half a century that deficiency in vitamin A destroys vision.
Vitamin A is what ends up absorbing all of the light and allows us to SEE.
Not enough vitamin A and the whole eye comes crumbling down.
This is the vitamin A I like, in studies reversing visual problems it’s at least 16,000 IU per day, but I really don’t think that’s necessary if you just have floaters. Maybe 1,000-5,000 IU/d. Or just eat beef liver. healthnatura.com/simply-a-15-00…
Pharma companies are in the process of targeting metabolism to treat various visual diseases.
One of the ways they are doing this is by lowering INFLAMMATION.
The key sources of systemic inflammation in the body are:
Some other vital factors that support the antioxidant system, and thus protect our eyes from EYE FLOATERS.
⬩Protein, especially glycine for glutathione
⬩Copper
⬩Manganese
⬩Keeping iron in balance, excess can lead to oxidative stress.
⬩VITAMIN B2
⬩ZINC
⬩SELENIUM
⬩TAURINE

This system is in place to protect us against things like parasites and foreign toxins. It helps us eliminate them effectively before they cause even more damage.
The question is, what causes the increased production of these chemicals from these cells unnecessarily?
Why do some people’s immune cells release more of these mediators in response to things that are harmless like pollen?
#1 Gut health
Roughly 80% of your immune cells reside in the gut, and they are major players in your susceptibility to allergies.
Poor gut health can wreck your immune system's ability to properly deal with allergens in a few ways:
◈ Bad bacteria shift the balance of T cells away from an anti-inflammatory (regulatory) state to a pro-inflammatory one (Th2/Th17)
◈ Intestinal permeability exposes the immune system to more allergens by allowing "leakage"
◈ Inflammation / bacteria can stimulate innate lymphoid cells (ILC2 via IL-25, IL-33, TSLP), which activates eosinophils, mast cells and B cells to produce IgE
◈ The gut is the biggest source of histamine + serotonin in the entire body by far.
In fact, an animal study showed that you can literally give them allergies simply by giving them the gut bacteria of another animal who has allergies.
The animals with allergies mainly had higher endotoxin containing bacteria, which drive all sorts of inflammation in the gut and beyond.
ANOTHER one of the most impressive studies in recent memory found that the combination of NAC + Glycine has remarkable anti-aging effects in nearly every metric.
This doesn't necessarily mean that one has to take this much, since this was measuring a relatively short period of time on the elderly, so they were trying to up their stores rapidly.
Typically, a maintenance dose of NAC is 1.2-2.4g, and glycine 3-6g.
Basic labwork showed improvements with the supplement.
◇ ↓ BUN (blood urea nitrogen) - nitrogen waste / protein breakdown
◇ ↓ Creatinine - muscle protein breakdown marker
◇ ↑ Estimated GFR - measure of kidney filtration capacity
◇ ↓ Triglycerides - circulating fats
