Fish, Fatty Acids and VisiVite Vital For Macular Degeneration Prevention

If you're reading this, you probably know that age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss in the elderly. Unfortunately, there is no cure for AMD, but science continues to give us new insights into macular degeneration prevention.

According to research conducted by the National Eye Institute, a diet rich in the proper nutrients can delay the progress of age-related macular degeneration, preventing crippling vision loss in some cases.

The NEI recommends supplementing a healthy diet with nutrients like:

• Beta-carotene (Vitamin A)
• Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C)
• Vitamin E
• Zinc Oxide
• Cupric Oxide

Other nutrients, like the carotenoids Lutein and Zeaxanthin and Omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EHA, have shown positive effects in other studies, and the NEI's ongoing AREDS 2 study is focusing on the benefits they may have in macular degeneration prevention.

If you have not developed macular degeneration but are at risk, it's never too early to think about prevention. Current analysis indicates a 40% reduction in risk for people at risk for AMD if they consume a diet with high levels of fatty acids. Instead of salmon twice a week for dinner, you can start taking VisiVite's Premier Ocular Formula No. 2, which is specially designed to deliver over 1000 milligrams of beneficial Omega-3s for optimum macular degeneration prevention.
