VITAMIN SUPPLEMENTS AND AMD

For your eyes

AREDS2, a study conducted by the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) Research Group in the U.S. concluded that patients older than 55 should consider taking a supplement of antioxidants plus zinc. This may help slow the progression of macular degeneration and help maintain healthy vision.

Your eye care professional may recommend that you take a supplement such as Vitalux^® Vitamins, which contain high levels of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals — including lutein, zeaxanthin, and omega-3 fatty acids.
