Mechanism to improve eye health by Centella asiatica (CA) has not been studied, therefore we performed this experiment for the first time. We investigated the effects of CAE50, asiaticoside and asiatic acid, which are active ingredients, on the inhibition of retinal cell injury in vitro..
the primary objective of this study is  to evaluate the safety and efficacy of centella asiatica extract tablets in improving MPOD levels in elderly volunteers
