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 proven low efficiency to supress early stage AMD, and rather expensive compared to their low-effectiveness.
The objective of the Primavera project is the commercialisation of a new medical food for treatment of AMD. Our unique formula, Primavera, is based on immunobiotic compounds, prepared by our innovative technology, and metabolic booster compounds. The formula will expectedly have benefits on both visual functions and retinal alterations in early AMD.
