Scientists test if a common supplement can reach the aging eye
NCT ID NCT07269704
Summary
This small, early-stage study aimed to understand if and how a nutritional supplement called alpha-ketoglutarate, taken by mouth, is absorbed into the eyes of people with age-related eye diseases. Researchers measured changes in the levels of this substance and other proteins in eye fluid. The goal was to gather basic knowledge about how supplements might affect eye chemistry, not to test a treatment.
