A New Breakthrough from, Wise Choice Medicine
Nac-C Plus tablets previously named Can-C Plus, are now available in US and European Markets: Patents: (WO 2004/028536 A1; WO 94/19325; WO 95/12581; WO 2004/064866 A1)
Synergism of histidyl dipeptides and amino acids proven to be benefical in ophthalmic treatments.
With the knowledge that there is a natural range of the histidyl dipeptides within mammalian tissues we have investigated possible synergism between them in respect of antioxidant activity in ophthalmic treatments.
Considering the efficacy of N-acetylcarnosine eye drops in the therapeutic treatment of ripe cataracts, we now theorize that, declining visual acuity, along with the onset of ‘halo’ effects and vitreous lesions, including floaters and even elevated IOP, may be a result of diminished Glutathione levels within the eye.

In a separate pilot study, ripe, human, age-related, cataract is significantly reversed over a period of 5 months, with the application of Can-C™ N-acetylcarnosine eye drops (2 drops twice daily) combined with Nac-C Plus™, 1 tablet (two times daily).
Powerful antioxidant protection for the eyes…
We found that the L-Histidine ingredient in the Nac-C Plus formulation acts synergistically with other natural imidazole containing Peptidomimetics (N-acetylcarnosine, L-carnosine) as antioxidants. Our results show that combining imidazole containing compounds at near physiological concentrations results in heightened synergistic anti-oxidant activity. The clinical and experimental data demonstrate the improved effectiveness and safety of the combined treatment modality.
The oral consumption of the N-acetyl-cysteine ingredient in Nac-C Plus, boosts reduced glutathione levels in the human crystalline lens. As indicated in the Figure 1, ripe age-related cataract is significantly reversed within 5 months of combined treatment.
Figure 1: Left image: pronounced opacities in the lens layers prior cataract treatment; Right image: An appearance of the rose reflex visible through the lens which became significantly more transparent after 5 months of combined treatment of cataract with the N-acetylcarnosine eye drop combined with the oral supplementation of Nac-C Plus.Conclusion: Manipulation with chemical chaperones; N-acetylcarnosine, carnosine, D- pantethine or regulated/inducible molecular chaperone protein function (such as alpha-crystallin chaperone activity in the lens) offers novel therapies for reversal of (ripe) cataracts, retinal degeneration and ocular complications of diabetes.
