Project description
Innovative food formula for preserving visual functions
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) causes vision impairment via gradual deterioration of the central part of the retina, leading to difficulty in colours and detail recognition, reading and writing. Despite its high prevalence among people over 40, neither screening methods for the early detection of AMD nor any effective treatment has been found yet. The EU-funded Primavera project aims to bring to the market a new food supplement product for the treatment of AMD. The unique formula contains immunobiotic and metabolic booster compounds, providing benefits for visual functions and retinal alterations in early AMD. The current project will evaluate the technological and market feasibility of the product and draft a detailed business plan.
Objective
Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a chronic, progressive, sight-threatening disease, caused by the damage of the macula, the small, central area of the retina. People with AMD have difficulty seeing colours, details and later, to read, to drive and to work. The disease causes significant social, medical, and economic burden. Its prevalence (hidden in early stage) is estimated more 8-10% in industrialized countries (EU, USA) for people over 40 years. However, neither screening method is proposed for the early detection of AMD nor its effective treatment has been approved yet. The multivitamin products, found on the market today, have provenly low efficiency to supress early stage AMD, and rather expensive compared to their low-effectiveness. The objective of primavera project is the commercialisation of a new medical food for treatment of AMD. Our new and unique formula, Primavera, is based on immunobiotic compounds, prepared by our innovative technology, and metabolic booster compounds. The new and unique formula will expectedly have benefits on both visual functions and retinal alterations in early AMD. The success of the project will promote the growth of our company.
