Abstract
A composition includes a sea cucumber and ginseng/red ginseng composite extract which has the effect of regenerating the Bruch's membrane of the eye and improving the transport function of the Bruch's membrane. The composite composition improves the transport function of the Bruch's membrane and eliminates lipids accumulated on the membrane to promote the regeneration of the Bruch's membrane, thereby showing the effect of delaying or reversing the senescence process of the eye. Further, the composition is highly preventive or therapeutic of various diseases attributed to a decrease in the function of the Bruch's membrane with age, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and can solve the problem associated with the eye health maintenance of ordinary persons and with the transport reduction, resulting from senescence, of vitamins, metals, and anti-oxidative materials.
