The Crystalline Lens is the lens of the eye where cataracts form...

The lens is the densest protein in the body, so it is especially sensitive to the quality of circulation in the area, since nutrients and toxins must negotiate a more challenging path to and from the living cells of the lens.

For example, Mercury binds to sulfur groups in the lens proteins, and stays longer in the lens than any other tissue.

Mercury is detoxified by Glutathione (GSH), which is deficient in degenerative processes like Cataract.

The Crystalline Clarity formula includes precursors and cofactors that support the cells to make more GSH, including N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC).

It also supplies pre-formed GSH to the interior of the cells by including S-Acetyl Glutathione.

Normally, Glutathione is digested by enzymes in the gut and in the blood on the way to the lens.

The S-Acetyl group prevents this, and is removed by an intracellular enzyme once it reaches the cytoplasm.

The formula includes the essential mineral Chromium (bound to Niacin as Glucose Tolerance Factor) because issues with dietary sugar and sugar regulation are one of the most common contributors to cataract.

Chromium is the only essential mineral the kidneys cannot retain, and it is the first to be lost in food processing.

Repleting Chromium levels increases longevity potential by 5 years, and the clarity of the lens is one of the highest correlates of longevity.

Essential minerals Zinc and Copper are supplied in ratio in the bioavailable forms Zinc Carnosine and Copper Glycinate.

We use the Carnosine form of Zinc because Carnosine prevents glycation (AGE formation) of the lens proteins.

We also include additional N-Acetyl Carnosine for additional anti-AGEing benefits.

Copper and Zinc are both essential for the antioxidant enzyme Superoxide Dismutase (SOD).

The fourth essential trace mineral in the formulation is Selenium, supplied in the optimal form Methylselenocysteine (MSC).

Selenocysteine is the cofactor at the active site of glutathione peroxidase (GPx), part of the cell's front line antioxidant enzyme system, along side Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) and Catalase...

Organically bound Selenium is critical in quenching peroxynitrite radicals...

In addition to optimum forms of essential minerals, we include other key nutrients like vitamins in coenzyme or other optimum forms, amines and Pyruvate.

Botanical concentrates include the carotenoid Lutein, Polyphenols: Xanthohumol, Anthocyanidins, Ellagic Acid, Luteolin, Quercetin Dihydrate (the highly bioavailable water soluble form), and Trans-Pterostilbene.

Background on many ingredients can also be found in our book Cataract Solutions.

We also include a small amount of Yeast Enzyme extract (found in higher dose in Lens-Zyme for brunescence which is yellowing of the lens), and the Golden Book formula described on this page.

To maximize intestinal absorption and vascular delivery to the eye, we also include our Bioavailability complex, which is a Fibonacci-inspired sequence of ingredients drawn from Ayurvedic Medicine, Modern Nutrition, and Botanical Medicine East & West...
