4. The composition of claim 1 wherein said zinc is provided in the form of zinc oxide.
5. The composition of claim 1 wherein said selenium is provided in the form of selenium selenate.
6. The composition of claim 1 wherein said copper is provided in the form of cupric oxide.
7. The composition of claim 1 wherein said eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is provided in the form of omega-3-acid ethyl esters.
8. The composition of claim 1 wherein said docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is provided in the form of omega-3-acid ethyl esters.
9. The composition of claim 1 wherein said composition is supplemented with 100 milligrams (mg) Camellia sinensis (green tea extract); wherein said green tea extract is comprised of 95% polyphenols, 80% catechins; said polyphenols comprised of 50 percent epigallocatechin gallate; 400 milligrams Curcuma longa (turmeric) extract; wherein said turmeric extract is comprised of 95 percent curcumin; 125 mg resveratrol; 10 mg pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ); 200 mg berberine; or a combination thereof.
10. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is formulated as an oral dosage from the group consisting of: a caplet; capsule; or tablet.
11. A method of treating a human or other animal by administering a nutritional or dietary supplement composition comprising: approximately 1,200 milligrams (mg) vitamin C, approximately 360 International Units (IU) vitamin E, approximately 6,000 IU vitamin A, approximately 240 mg zinc, approximately 12 mg copper, 330 mcg selenium, approximately 12 mg lutein, approximately 1,860 mg eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), approximately 1,500 mg docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), approximately 650 mg acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), approximately 500 mg metformin, approximately 1,200 mg N-acetyl-L-cysteine, approximately 200 mg coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10), approximately 5 mg melatonin, and approximately 500 mg magnesium.
12. The method of claim 11 wherein said vitamin C is provided in the form of ascorbic acid.
13. The method of claim 11 wherein said vitamin E is provided in the form of dl-alpha tocopheryl acetate.
14. The method of claim 11 wherein said zinc is provided in the form of zinc oxide.
15. The method of claim 11 wherein said selenium is provided in the form of selenium selenate.
16. The method of claim 11 wherein said copper is provided in the form of cupric oxide.
17. The method of claim 11 wherein said eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is provided in the form of omega-3-acid ethyl esters.
18. The method of claim 11 wherein said docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) is provided in the form of omega-3-acid ethyl esters.
19. The method of claim 11 wherein said composition is supplemented with 100 milligrams (mg) Camellia sinensis (green tea extract); wherein said green tea extract is comprised of 95% polyphenols, 80% catechins; said polyphenols comprised of 50 percent epigallocatechin gallate; 400 milligrams Curcuma longa (turmeric) extract; wherein said turmeric extract is comprised of 95 percent curcumin; 125 mg resveratrol; 10 mg pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ); 200 mg berberine; or a combination thereof.
20. The composition of claim 1 wherein the composition further comprises a pharmaceutical composition comprising timolol maleate at a concentration of 0.5% weight per volume (w/v) for topical ophthalmic application to the eye of a subject.
