OPTOdrase® is a dietary supplement with potassium, magnesium, lutein and L-carnitin, which is able to block the increased necessity of such nutrients, even when induced by therapies based on carbon anhydrase inhibitor drugs. It is indeed known that such drugs deplete the body of potassium and magnesium, which are responsible for some essential physical functions like the contraction of striped and unstriped muscular fibers. The side effects of such drugs are many and interest the cardiovascular, the gastro-intestinal, the urinary and the nervous systems.
It is, therefore, essential to integrate one's diet with potassium and magnesium salts during therapies based on carbon anhydrase inhibitor drugs.
In the eye area there are many important muscles, both in the orbit area and in the lashes one. The blepharotic, the blepharospasm and the adjusting astenopy can be caused by a metabolic deficit due to lack of potassium and/or by a lack of energy of the muscle fibrocells.
Integrating the diet with OPTOdrase® allows a quick restoration of the regular potassium level and its optimum use at muscular level, thanks to the activity of carnitin which stimulates the energy production in the cell, sending the fatty acids to the specific locations where they get methabolized. This specific formulation is able to balance the possible variation in the urinary PH. Lutein is a carotenoid which presents a special trophism for the eye tissues, getting stored especially within the macula.
Its specific anti-oxidant characteristics guarantee a high level of protection against the oxidation damages produced by free radicals, at the eye retina, macula and crystalline level, contributing to preserve their anatomic and functional integrity.
Lutein is also able to protect the eye structure from harmful light radiations.
