Cepham’s Luteye Centers on Cellular Senescence to Protect Aging Eyes
01 Mayo 2024 - 7:30AM
In alignment with Healthy Vision Month in May, Cepham, a leader in
Ayurvedic nutraceutical ingredients, announces the launch of
Luteye, a branded ingredient that combines lutein and zeaxanthin
with extra virgin olive oil, enriched with oleocanthal, to combat
the effects of aging on eyes.
“By the time the symptoms of eye aging become
apparent, it is often too late to take corrective action,” said
Anand Swaroop, founder and president of Cepham. “This is why our
research for eye health is centered around cellular
senescence.”
Cellular senescence is a process by which a cell
ages, permanently stops dividing, doesn’t die, and then builds up
in tissues throughout the body. This process advances aging and is
connected to the progression of age-related macular degeneration,
and related symptoms. Cepham’s use of oleocanthal, a
phenylethanoid, or a type of natural phenolic compound found
naturally in extra-virgin olive oil, makes Luteye unique.
“We've thoroughly studied oleocanthal to
understand its potential in combating aging effects on the eyes
caused by cellular senescence, such as short telomeres, DNA damage
response, mitochondrial dysfunction, and epigenetically induced
senescence,” said Swaroop. “When combined with proven vision
enhancing nutrients like lutein and zeaxanthin, oleocanthal shows
potential to powerfully protect the eyes from aging.”
Unlike other eye health products, Luteye does
not rely on carrier oils like soy, safflower, or canola, which
often contain chemical stabilizers and surfactants. Instead, Luteye
harnesses the potent antioxidant properties of oleocanthal, a
natural stabilizer, and the purity of extra virgin olive oil,
eliminating the need for chemical surfactants, making it a
clean-label eye supplement.
Luteye offers a distinctive approach to
addressing cellular senescence through the lens of healthy vision.
In a saturated market of lutein and zeaxanthin products, Luteye
stands out as a novel ingredient with unique benefits. For more
