MacularProtect AREDS 2 Formula – Eye Health Vitamin and Mineral Supplement with Lutein, Zeaxanthin, and B Vitamins (B6, B12, and Folate) for Extra Macular Support – 60 Capsules

Powerful Protection for Eyesight

Appropriate for individuals concerned about preserving eyesight, MacularProtect is based on the findings of both the original Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) and the follow-up (AREDS2). The original trial showed that high-risk patients given antioxidants with zinc had a significantly better chance of retaining their vision.

Based on the AREDS Clinical Trials

MacularProtect includes nutrients: vitamins C and E, zinc, copper, FloraGLO lutein and zeaxanthin at levels found to protect macular health in the AREDS and AREDS 2 clinical trials. Antioxidants help combat oxidative stress, a process that can damage structures within the eye.

Standard of Care

The National Eye Institute (NEI) recommends the original AREDS formula, with lutein and zeaxanthin replacing beta carotene, as the new standard of care for those with macular health concerns. Appropriate for smokers and non-smokers.

Key B-Vitamin Trio

MacularProtect provides ample amounts of three B-vitamins: folic acid, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12. Evidence suggests these B vitamins support macular health. A large-scale intervention trial in women found that high dose folic acid with vitamins B6 and B12 taken over a 7-year period improved their chances of maintaining macular health. Results of another long-term, population- health study support these clinical findings.

Lutein and Zeaxanthin

Lutein and zeaxanthin, concentrated in foods such as spinach, kale and corn, form the yellow pigment of the macula lutea – the area at the center of the eye’s retina where the sharpest central vision occurs. Regular intake of lutein and zeaxanthin contributes to the density of this protective macular pigment. Many Americans consume less than 2 mg daily – far lower than the 10 mg tested in AREDS2 and included in this formula.
