Eye health add-on
In the Eye health add-on test we examine the function of genes, which have been scientifically linked to most common eye diseases.
Scientists have been aware for several years that neurogenesis, i.e. the growth of new nerve cells, takes place in the brain. New research shows that the eyes, which are truly an extension of the brain, also have cells that are capable of regeneration.
Although it is great news that eye cells can regenerate, it is also important to know how you can support this process yourself and at the same time prevent possible eye damage. Optimizing gut health, a nutritious diet and a healthy lifestyle play an essential role in this.
