New macular degeneration supplement

New discoveries about macular pigment in AMD are behind this potent macular degeneration supplement that increases yellow pigment

At least fifteen million Americans are suffering from Macular Degeneration, and recent data show that number is growing substantially every year. Macular Degeneration is the leading cause of legal blindness among people over 50 years of age in North America. Read further about a new macular degeneration supplement.

Risks for macular degeneration are:

Genetics: a family history of macular degeneration
Smoking: studies have shown that smokers develop AMD at alarmingly higher rates than non-smokers
Obesity: overall health is related to AMD. Obesity adversely affects overall health.
Low pigment density in the macula: lighter (blonde) retinas are more prone to AMD than heavily pigmented retinas. This is why people of European decent are much more likely to develop AMD.

Macular degeneration pigment changesIt’s this last risk, low pigment density, that fuels the research behind a new macular degeneration supplement, MacuHealth. MacuHealth with LMZ3 is a patented supplement that helps reduce the risk of Macular Degeneration. It contains all three carotenoid components found in the Macula, the “yellow” area in the retina responsible for straight-ahead, sharp acuity:

Lutein (yellow pigment found in plant leaves and egg yolks)
Zeaxanthin
Meso-Zeaxanthin (found exclusively in the macula)

If you’ve done any research on nutrition and macular degeneration supplements, you’ll know that Lutein and Zeaxanthin can be found in leafy green vegetables and most AMD vitamin supplements. The third on the list however, Meso-Zeaxanthin, isn’t readily found in diets. It’s found in things like marigolds, oyster and shrimp shells – not a very appetizing menu!

Eyes with macular degeneration have been found to contain significantly less Meso-Zeaxanthin. It may be that these eyes are unable to adequately produce the required amount of this important pigment.

This yellow pigment level will effectively strengthen the macula

MacuHealth with LMZ3, a macular pigment supplement, taken once a day, helps by effectively increasing macular pigment levels to near normal levels according to studies. It is theorized that increasing this yellow pigment level will effectively strengthen the macula, thus reducing degenerative processes, like drusen, that plague AMD patients.

With the myriad of eye nutrition and macular degeneration supplements that have flooded the market, it can be difficult to make a good decision as to which one is best for your eyes. You can rest assured, whichever you choose, you should at least be supplementing it with MacuHealth.
