Summary

This early-phase study at Stanford looked at how a nutritional supplement called alpha-ketoglutarate is absorbed into the eyes when taken orally. Seventeen adults with age-related eye diseases participated. The main goal was to measure changes in the supplement's level in eye fluid and to explore related protein changes, not to treat the disease directly.
