Groupe Persavita: providing a new solution to an age-old problem

Montreal, Quebec -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/08/2014 -- May is Vision Health Month in Canada. A national campaign is informing and reminding Canadians about their eye health to help to eliminate avoidable loss of sight. There are a number of things Canadians can do to protect their vision, including regular eye examination and leading a healthy lifestyle with good nutrition. These things are particularly important as we age. Development and progression of one disease, the common dry form of age related macular degeneration (dry AMD), is greatly influenced by specific types of natural antioxidants and carotenoids that protect the retina of the eye.

Groupe Persavita is a young private company located in Montreal that has developed the nutritional supplement Saffron 2020 especially to combat the decline in eyesight with age. In 2012, Saffron 2020 has been approved by Health Canada to help maintain eyesight in age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts.

Saffron 2020 was formulated following a clinical study in Italy in which patients with AMD showed improvements in their vision after taking dietary saffron pills- made from saffron stigma powder- for just three months. In a 15-month follow up, the researchers observed that patients continued to get the benefits of the supplement for as long as they took the saffron capsules. The patented Saffron 2020 formulation contain high quality saffron together with several other nutrients and carotenoids shown to be important and beneficial for eye health.

Dr Piraee, CEO of Groupe Persavita commented. 'Recent research from around the world has demonstrated the potential for special plant-derived supplements to combat the effects of age-related decline in sight. Through Saffron 2020 we are very proud to have combined these into a special product and to be assisting many thousand Canadian customers to maintain their eyesight'.

[Quote from a customer (B. H., from British Columbia): After 14 months [using Saffron 2020] for dry macular degeneration, my results are; increased colour and clarity, reduction of blind spot, elimination of eye stress].

Saffron supplement helps you maintain your eyesight in age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the main cause of vision loss in senior adults.

Montreal, Quebec -- (ReleaseWire) -- 12/10/2013 -- Saffron, one of the most esteemed spices in the world is now being used in an eye supplement approved by Health Canada and claimed to be a new hope for individuals affected by age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts, the two leading causes of vision impairment in Canada.

Studies have shown the retinal protective effects and vision improvement properties of saffron in patients with AMD.

Saffron 2020 is an eye supplement that combines saffron with other nutrients known to be important for eye health, and is the only saffron-containing supplement approved by Health Canada to help maintain eyesight in macular degeneration and cataracts. This saffron supplement also helps reduce the risk of developing cataracts.

Saffron 2020 was formulated following studies in Italy and Australia showing the benefits of supplementation with saffron in patients with AMD. This natural health supplement helps to maintain our invaluable eyesight in AMD and cataracts, and also helps to reduce the risk of developing cataracts.

A recent study from the same research team in Italy shows that the macular benefits of saffron occur for both of the major genetic variations which lead to AMD: more specifically the gene variations in complement factor H (CFH) and age-related maculopathy susceptibility (ARMS2) risk genotypes. Your eyes can benefit from saffron supplementation regardless of your genetic profile for CFH and ARMS2 genes.

Doctor Kim Julian, a top eye surgeon involved in the elaboration of Saffron 2020, stated: "At the moment, there is no cure for AMD, all we can do is aim to slow down its progression and make life as manageable as possible for this suffering. Saffron 2020 is the only macular degeneration supplement I'm aware of which combines saffron with important eye health nutrients like resveratrol, zinc, antioxidant vitamins (A, B2, C and E) and natural carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin."
