Glaucomin high strength nicotinamide (B3) capsules

Glaucomin capsules are for daily use for people with early to moderate glaucoma. Glaucoma can lead to vision loss when the cells in the eye that help you see (called retinal ganglion cells) start to die.

The main risk factors for glaucoma are high eye pressure and older age.

Glaucomin are formulated in line with an ongoing trial designed to improve patient’s results using a new approach.

Instead of looking at lowering the eye pressure, increasing nicotinamide levels can boost energy production and oxygen consumption in retinal ganglion cells, extending their life and preventing any age-related increases in pressure from reducing vision. Interestingly, by testing nicotinamide levels, researchers hope to predict the risk of continued vision loss and prioritise who to monitor intensively and treat quickly.

Glaucomin is vitamin B3 in a form that is only nicotinamide. Vitamin B3 contributes to normal functioning of the nerves in your body.

At present, Glaucomin is the highest strength nicotinamide B3 product available in the UK market.

The recommended dose is one capsule containing 750mg every morning and evening.

Glaucomin capsules have been developed using guidance from clinical ophthalmologists working alongside a pharmaceutical company that specialises in eye health products. They are dedicated to enhancing patient well-being by reviewing cutting-edge research to expand into new product areas, treating conditions such as dry-eye, infections, inflammation, glaucoma and eye health nutrition.

Occasionally, Glaucomin may cause a mild stomach upset such as nausea, vomiting or diarrhoea. This may be prevented by taking each capsule with a meal.

It is not recommended for use by anyone with a cancer diagnosis in the last 5 years (except treated basal or squamous cell carcinomas), liver disease or stomach ulcers.

The capsules are suitable for vegan and vegetarians.
