The NP‑10 System™ Is Now Published in a Peer‑Reviewed Medical Journal: Why It Matters
We’re excited to share an important milestone for Nutravision and for proactive eye care more broadly:
The NP‑10 System™ for proactive optic nerve support has now been published in a peer‑reviewed medical journal.
This isn’t just good news for us as Nutravision co-founders. It’s meaningful for:
- People managing high eye pressure or undergoing regular monitoring for their visual fields and optic nerves
- Eye care professionals looking for a structured approach to neuroprotection
- Anyone who wants to see nutrition and lifestyle discussed in the same breath as drops, laser and surgery
Here’s what this achievement actually means – and what it doesn’t.
What is the NP‑10 System™ (in Plain Language)?
The NP‑10 System™ is a clinical framework that organises the key biological pathways affecting the eye–nerve–brain vision system, especially in those with stress on the optic nerve due to eye pressure.
Instead of focusing on just one factor (eye pressure), NP‑10 looks at 10 mechanisms across four pillars:
- Eye pressure & psychological stress
- Cellular health (oxidative stress, inflammation, mitochondrial energy)
- Vascular factors (blood flow and oxygen/nutrient delivery)
- Functional factors (optic nerve and macular function)
In short, it’s a roadmap for thinking proactively, not just reacting after damage has occurred.
What Does “Peer‑Reviewed” Actually Mean?
“Peer‑reviewed” means that:
- Independent experts in the field have evaluated the NP‑10 paper
- The logic, references and conclusions were scrutinised before acceptance
- The framework is now part of the scientific conversation, not just an internal idea
This does not mean “NP‑10 is perfect” or “every question is answered,” but it does mean:
- The model is grounded in the current body of evidence
- Clinicians and researchers now have a published reference to build on, critique and refine
For patients and practitioners, that’s a big step beyond marketing claims or opinion pieces.
Why this Matters if You Have (or Worry About) Stress on the Optic Nerve
Traditionally, managing optic nerve stress has been built around one core strategy:
Reduce eye pressure, and hope to slow the damage.
That is still essential. Nothing replaces eye pressure‑lowering treatment where it’s needed.
What NP‑10 adds is:
- A clear framework for everything else that influences the optic nerve and visual pathways
- A common language for doctors, researchers and patients to discuss neuroprotection
- A foundation for clinical trials and nutraceutical formulations that target multiple pathways, not just eye pressure
If you’ve ever thought, “Surely there must be more I can do than just use drops and wait,” NP‑10 is the scientific structure behind that intuition.
How Nutravision Relates to NP‑10
Nutravision was designed as a practical application of the NP‑10 framework from a nutritional perspective. It combines 10 clinically studied nutrients at evidence‑informed doses, chosen to:
- Support mitochondrial and cellular health
- Support blood flow and vascular function
- Provide antioxidant and macular support
- Complement, not replace, pressure‑lowering therapy and healthy lifestyle choices
Important:
- Nutravision is a nutritional supplement, not a drug.
- It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.
- It should be used alongside regular eye examinations and any treatment your specialist recommends, not instead of them.
What’s Next?
Publication of the NP‑10 paper is not the finish line; it’s the starting gun for:
- More clinical research on targeted nutrition for those with stressed optic nerves from eye pressure
- Better tools for clinicians to counsel patients about proactive care
- Smarter, more targeted formulations that align with what the science is actually saying
