TOZAL(R) Nutritional Supplement Improves Vision in Common Form of Macular Degeneration

February 8, 2009

HOUSTON, Sept. 10, 2008 /PRNewswire/ —

A landmark study at five university-based research centers found that TOZAL(R), a patented combination of antioxidants and micronutrients, enabled patients with “dry” macular degeneration to improve their vision. Patients in the study’s placebo arm, who received the “AREDS-type” nutritional formulation (the current standard of care), continued to lose their eyesight. Results of the TOZAL study are supported by a major new study, which shows that omega-3 acids cut the risk of developing “wet” macular degeneration.

“Now this is the one nobody really knows about that I think is going

known in the Amazon Rainforest as a ‘pharmacy in a fruit’.

between chocolate, passion fruit, and bananas . . . It is really a

“Fifteen years ago it was virtually unheard of outside the Amazon, but
now this member of the cocoa family is fast making up for lost time.
Cupuaçu is a smooth, elliptical tangerine-coloured fruit which, for

Now it is being “discovered” by the rest of the world. While Amazonians use the fruit’s juice to ease abdominal pains and

help women in labour, it is appearing in the West as an ingredient
in not only medicines, but yogurts, lipsticks, jams, teas, and soaps.”

prized for its creamy exotic tasting pulp. Like açaí, Cupuaçu is rich in vitamins, minerals, fats and fatty acids, and is traditionally known for its nutritive, stimulant and tonic properties.”

such as lowering the risk of heart disease and relieving inflammatory
conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease.

Does eating fish reduce the risk of cancer

Experimental studies and some studies in humans suggest that eating more fish and omega-3 fatty acids may protect against cancer. Overall there is limited but suggestive evidence for associations between increased fish consumption and a reduced risk of breast, rectal and prostate cancer.

How much fish should I eat?

The Cancer Council NSW recommends people:

  • Eat fish (preferably oily) at least two times per week
  • Include some plant foods and oils rich in omega-3 fatty acids in their diet.
