Physician Formulated Ophthalmic Complex
NMN Eye Health Formula
Developed by Dr. Anthony Curreri, MD — a board-certified ophthalmologist — for patients who deserve every evidence-supported tool available for their eyes.
The Formula
Intessa was formulated to address every major pathway implicated in age-related ocular disease — in a single, bioavailable capsule you take once a day.
Why Intessa
NAD+ declines 40–50% by age 60. Retinal ganglion cells and photoreceptors have the highest NAD+ demand of any tissue. 500mg NMN bypasses the rate-limiting NAMPT enzyme to restore NAD+ directly.
Lutein 10mg and Zeaxanthin 2mg — the exact doses from the landmark AREDS2 trial — concentrate in the macula to filter blue light and neutralise reactive oxygen species in the photoreceptors.
Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate and Methylcobalamin in their bioactive forms support one-carbon metabolism and optic nerve axon integrity — validated by the Karolinska Institute's 2025 glaucoma research.
95% Piperine extract inhibits intestinal enzymes and P-glycoprotein efflux, increasing absorption of every co-ingredient by up to 30–60%. Every dose delivers its full clinical value.
Designed by Dr. Anthony Curreri, MD — a board-certified ophthalmologist. Not a general wellness supplement. Formulated specifically for the metabolic vulnerabilities that drive ocular ageing.
Five mechanisms. One capsule. Patients buying equivalent coverage separately would need three or more products. Intessa delivers everything together, once a day.
The Physician Behind the Formula
Board-Certified Ophthalmologist · New York City
Dr. Curreri has spent his career studying the metabolic vulnerabilities that make the ageing eye susceptible to glaucoma and macular degeneration. What he found in the published literature — and what he saw in his own patients — led him to formulate Intessa.
"The research is clear. Your eyes need NAD+. I formulated Intessa to deliver it."
The Clinical Evidence
Every ingredient in Intessa is supported by published clinical evidence. This is not a general wellness supplement — it is a targeted ophthalmic formula grounded in the latest ocular science.

NCT05405868 (Moorfields/UCL), NCT05695027 (Columbia), NCT06991712 (Hong Kong — testing NMN directly at 350mg in POAG patients). The clinical consensus is forming.
Intessa was formulated ahead of this emerging consensus.
