​Macular Degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss,
affecting more than 10 million Americans.

​AMD affects the macula, the small central area of the retina that maintains our sharpest vision. The health of the macula determines our ability to read, recognize faces, drive, watch television, use a digital device, and perform any other detailed visual task.

Early signs of vision loss from AMD include shadowy areas in your central vision or unusually fuzzy or distorted vision. Some patients may notice wavy or distorted words when reading. Additional symptoms include difficulty seeing details in poor lighting conditions and glare sensitivity. A patient with AMD gradually loses central vision but maintains peripheral or side vision.

Macular degeneration is a disease that leads to central blindness from free radical damage.  A macula dense in the three carotenoids will help to protect the macula, improve visual function and contrast sensitivity.  There are supplements that can help to replenish these very important carotenoids and also can be absorbed from your diet. 
These important carotenoids, omega 3, Vitamin E and C, zinc don’t naturally occur in our body but have to be absorbed through our diet rich in:

• Dark green leafy veggies (kale, spinach, broccoli, Brussel sprouts)
• Wild caught Alaskan Salmon, sardines, anchovies (high omega 3)
• Citrus family, bilberry, black currants
• Legumes (kidney beans, black eye peas

Macuhealth is a great supplement that is made up of the three carotenoids to help protect the macula from sun damage.
