Overview

Age related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive, neurodegenerative disease which may be hereditary, causing dimmed central vision. It affects the macula, which is a small area in the centre of the retina of the eye. The macula is responsible for sharp detailed vision. This condition often starts in one eye and after several years, develops in the other. The retina loses function, causing painless loss of central vision, resulting in an inability to see fine detail, drive, read or recognize faces.

Studies have shown that some antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients can play a role in eye health. Antioxidants neutralize 'free radicals' that are produced in the body to prevent damage to the eye and other parts of the body. Vitamins, minerals and other nutrients provide the supplements needed by your body for normal functioning. EyeMax is specifically formulated to maintain healthy eye function. It is a quality formulation which contains high levels of antioxidants, Vitamin A, C and E, in combination with important minerals, Copper, Selenium and Zinc, along with significant levels of the carotenoids, Lutein and Zeaxanthin. In combination, these nutrients help maintain the health of the macular region of the eye.

Lutein is a natural pigment found in plants. It is essential for the development of the macular, and helps protect the light sensitive cells in the retina. Zeaxanthin occurs naturally in the body, and it protects the eye from harmful blue-light waves, similar to the action of sunglasses. As people age, levels of Zeaxanthin declines. Both Lutein and Zeaxanthin are powerful antioxidants, and together with Vitamins A, C and E, they help to neutralize the free radicals in the body to prevent damage to the eye.
EyeMax can provide the necessary supplements required by the body to maintain healthy vision and eye function.
