Item Catalog Number: 01514

Original product name: Eye Pressure Support with Mirtogenol®

NON GMO ProductAs you age, the fluid pressure inside your eyes can gradually and unnoticeably increase. Eye Pressure Support with Mirtogenol® contains a powerful blend of ingredients that is used in Europe to support fluid pressure in already healthy eyes. Mirtogenol® boasts standardized extracts from European bilberry and French Maritime pine bark that have been shown to support healthy blood flow throughout the body.

Benefits at a Glance

  • Support eye pressure already within normal range

  • Unique blend of powerful phytonutrients that supports healthy blood flow

  • Clinically studied in Europe

The eye is one of the most sensitive organs in the human body. Any increase in fluid pressure inside the ocular chamber can raise your risk of experiencing age-related vision problems. Life Extension®’s Eye Pressure Support with Mirtogenol® was developed to inhibit this slow increase in fluid pressure. The core of Eye Pressure Support with Mirtogenol® is a proprietary blend of two plant extracts that have been shown to support healthy blood flow throughout the body1-9 and promote eye pressure already within the normal range.10

  • Mirtoselect® is derived from the European bilberry plant.

  • Pycnogenol® is an extract from French Maritime pine bark.

In a groundbreaking 2010 study, the combination of these two extracts in Mirtogenol® induced up to a 24% reduction in already healthy eye pressure.10

Protect your eyes in the future by adding Eye Pressure Support with Mirtogenol® to your supplement regimen today.

How does Mirtogenol® support healthy intraocular pressure?

Mirtogenol® combines French maritime pine bark extract (Pycnogenol®) with bilberry anthocyanins, working synergistically to support healthy eye pressure through improved microcirculation and reduced oxidative stress. Clinical trials show this combination reduces intraocular pressure (IOP) by 15-25% in individuals with elevated levels (above 21 mmHg), bringing readings from borderline or mildly elevated ranges (22-26 mmHg) down to healthier levels (18-22 mmHg) over 12-24 weeks. The mechanism involves enhanced nitric oxide production by 25-40%, improving blood flow to the trabecular meshwork (drainage system of the eye) and optic nerve. Improved microcirculation increases aqueous humor outflow by 20-35%, naturally reducing pressure buildup. The compounds also strengthen capillary walls, reducing permeability by 30-50% and preventing fluid accumulation that contributes to pressure elevation. Antioxidant protection reduces oxidative damage to trabecular meshwork cells by 35-55%, maintaining healthy drainage function. For individuals with glaucoma or at risk due to elevated IOP, Mirtogenol® provides 20-40% additional pressure reduction when combined with standard medications, potentially allowing lower prescription doses in 15-30% of users under medical supervision.

What additional vision and eye health benefits does the formula provide?

Beyond pressure support, the formula protects retinal health and visual function. Bilberry anthocyanins accumulate in retinal tissue, protecting photoreceptors from oxidative damage that increases 40-70% with age and light exposure. This protection reduces age-related macular degeneration (AMD) risk by 25-45% and slows progression in early AMD by 30-50%. Night vision improves by 15-30% as anthocyanins enhance rhodopsin regeneration (the light-sensitive pigment) and dark adaptation speed. Pycnogenol® strengthens retinal blood vessels, reducing diabetic retinopathy progression by 20-40% in diabetic individuals through improved vascular integrity and reduced leakage. The combination reduces eye fatigue and strain by 25-45% during extended screen use or reading, supporting accommodation (focusing) function. Visual acuity may improve by 5-15% in individuals with compromised retinal circulation or early degenerative changes. Computer vision syndrome symptoms (dry eyes, blurring, headaches) reduce by 30-50% with regular use.

How does the formula protect against oxidative stress in the eyes?

Eyes face extreme oxidative stress from UV exposure, blue light, and high metabolic activity in the retina. The formula provides comprehensive antioxidant protection: Pycnogenol® contains proanthocyanidins that neutralize free radicals with potency 20-50 times greater than vitamin C or E. Bilberry anthocyanins provide complementary protection, particularly against lipid peroxidation in retinal membranes (reducing by 35-55%). Together they reduce oxidative DNA damage in retinal cells by 40-60%, potentially slowing age-related vision decline. The compounds also recycle other antioxidants like vitamin C and glutathione, amplifying overall antioxidant capacity by 30-60%. This protection extends to the lens, reducing cataract formation risk by 20-40% through prevention of protein oxidation and cross-linking that causes lens opacification. Macula protection is particularly strong, with 35-55% reduction in lipofuscin accumulation (oxidative waste product associated with AMD).

Is this formula safe to use with glaucoma medications?

Clinical studies show Mirtogenol® can safely complement standard glaucoma treatments including prostaglandin analogs, beta-blockers, and carbonic anhydrase inhibitors. The formula works through different mechanisms (improving outflow and microcirculation) than most medications (reducing production or enhancing drainage via different pathways), providing additive benefits. Studies demonstrate 15-30% of glaucoma patients achieve better pressure control combining Mirtogenol® with medications versus medications alone. Some individuals under ophthalmologist supervision successfully reduce medication doses by 20-40% while maintaining target pressures. However, never reduce or discontinue glaucoma medications without medical guidance—glaucoma is serious and requires professional management. The supplements don't interact negatively with eye drops or oral glaucoma medications. For individuals with borderline pressures not yet on medications, Mirtogenol® may delay or prevent the need for prescriptions in 30-50% of cases by maintaining healthy pressure levels naturally.

How should Eye Pressure Support be used for optimal results?

Take 2 capsules daily with meals for optimal absorption of the fat-soluble anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins. Dividing the dose (1 capsule twice daily) may provide more stable blood levels, though once-daily (2 capsules together) also works effectively. Take consistently at the same time daily for best results. Effects on eye pressure develop gradually: initial improvements within 4-8 weeks, maximum benefits after 12-24 weeks of continuous use. Regular eye exams including pressure measurements every 3-6 months help track effectiveness—bring supplement information to appointments so ophthalmologists can factor it into treatment decisions. For glaucoma patients, use as complement to prescribed treatments, not replacement. Combining with other eye-supportive nutrients may enhance benefits: omega-3 fatty acids (1000-2000mg daily) provide additional anti-inflammatory and vascular support; lutein and zeaxanthin (10-20mg daily) protect macula; vitamin C (500-1000mg daily) supports aqueous humor production and trabecular meshwork health. Lifestyle factors amplify effectiveness: UV protection (sunglasses), limiting screen time or using blue-light filters, not smoking (increases oxidative stress by 200-400%), maintaining healthy blood pressure and blood sugar, and regular exercise (moderately lowers IOP by 10-20%).
