Product Information

William, hi and thanks for writing. Unfortunately, given the state of research, it is impossible to give you a short and simple answer. Perhaps a few things to consider:

MacuHealth works by replenishing your macular pigment and protecting the eyes from everyday stressors, such as free radicals. Macular pigment refers to the carotenoid pigments concentrated in the macula which acts as a filter to protect the retina. Your retina converts the light that enters your eye into electrical signals. These electrical signals are then sent down the optic nerves to your brain which eventually creates the visual image of your environment. Lutein and zeaxanthin can be found in fruits and dark green leafy vegetables and meso-zeaxanthin is present in some species of fish and seafood. The macular carotenoids in MacuShield are obtained from marigolds (Tagetus Erecta), specifically grown for this purpose.

A dose of 10 mg of lutein appears to be better than a lower dose (6 mg). Higher dose products (e.g., 20 mg to 40 mg) are common, although it is not known if a higher dose is better. Nevertheless, 20 mg has been shown to be safe in a 6-month study (see Dosage). To enhance absorption, it is best to take lutein and zeaxanthin supplements with a fatty meal, but be aware that consumption of certain foods and supplements may decrease absorption of lutein and zeaxanthin (see Concerns and Cautions). In addition, try to eat at least one orange per week and have fish at least once a week, as these are also associated with a reduced risk of AMD.

Before taking any supplements or vitamins, you should talk to your doctor. Your ophthalmologist can help you decide if MacuHealth or additional supplements or minerals will be beneficial for your eye health.

Nowadays I can easily use my pc at whichever time of the day, for several consecutive hours with only a mild disturbance at the very end to show for it, which I can prevent entirely by wearing blue light filtering glasses. I still use Iris to set the screen's color temperature and brightness to a level of comfort. Many research reports suggest that macular pigment supplementation has on average positive, statistically significant effects on eye health and vision. Moreover, the inclusion of higher dose of Meso-Zeaxanthin (as is the case with MacuShield and MacuHealth) clearly improves the results when compared to supplements containing only Lutein or only Lutein and Zeaxanthin [ Macular pigment response to a supplement containing meso-zeaxanthin, lutein and zeaxanthin (2007).
