What is AMD and the importance of Macular Health
As we grow older our eye health comes under increasing pressure and in particular the macula.
Macular health is an increasing concern as AMD is the No.1 cause of sight loss in Ireland over 50’s.
AMD is a progressive eye disease that affects the macula at the back of the eye and responsible for central vision and allows you to see detail. It doesn’t cause total blindness, but it makes everyday tasks such as reading, watching TV, driving, or using computers more difficult.
The macula pigment comprises of three carotenoids: Lutein, Meso-Zeaxanthin and Zeaxanthin. The body does not produce Lutein and Zeaxanthin. The macular pigment can therefore become severely depleted in those with a poor diet lacking in the right foods. Hence, why it could be advantageous to use supplementations such as MACU-SAVE®.
