Common vitamins could slow leading cause of blindness
NCT ID NCT05695027
Summary
This study is testing whether two over-the-counter supplements, nicotinamide (vitamin B3) and pyruvate, can help slow vision loss in people with glaucoma. About 188 participants will take either the supplement combination or a placebo for 20 months while continuing their standard glaucoma eye drop medications. Researchers will measure changes in vision tests and eye scans to see if the supplements help maintain eye health better than the placebo.
