Dietary factors also play important roles
Injury and inflammation to the pigmented layer of the retina (retinal pigment epithelium or RPE) as well as the choroid cause an altered and abnormal diffusion of nutrients to the retina and RPE, possibly precipitating further RPE and retinal damage (Zarbin 2004)
However, users recovering from long-term or severe injuries may choose to reduce dosing graduallyfor example: Week 14: 500mcg/day Week 5: 250mcg/day Week 6: 250mcg every other day This mild tapering strategy may help the body normalize while preserving healing momentum, especially when transitioning into maintenance supplements like collagen, MSM, or glutathione
As we discussed, bioavailability is the key
