Why we recommend Macula Complete

 Macula Complete

A number of landmark studies now support the use of nutrients to prevent or slow the progression of macular degeneration and other degenerative diseases of the entire body.  The conclusions have been astounding, and have revolutionized the way doctors now look at many diseases.  The vitamins and minerals used in these studies have been well documented, and the results are so compelling that most eye care professionals are now recommending a full spectrum of micronutrients to support optimal health of the eyes and full body.

Macula Complete is manufactured with USP pharmecutical grade ingredients, if USP grade has been establised and meets Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards for all ingredients.  Macula Complete is presented in vegetable capsules to assure maximum absorption and for the convenience of people who choose not to ingest bovine capsuels because of either potential health hazards or religious reasons.   

A landmark double blind study was published in October 2001 in Archives of Ophthalmology; Age-Related Eye Disease (ARED) proved that high levels of antioxidants and zinc significantly reduced the risk of advanced age-related macular degeneration  (AMD) by about 25%.  These same nutrients also reduce the risk of vision loss caused by advanced AMD by about 19%.

The ARED study was designed in the early 1990s.  Since then, many other important published studies strongly suggest no macular degeration disease progression when consuming potent amounts of the full-spectrum of micronutrients, which protect the macula, as well as the entire body.  Macula Complete is the only product in the eye care market that provides a perfectly balanced, safe and convenient "full spectrum" range of active ingredients for the diagnosed macular degeneration patient, and this formulation replaces the need for any other full body multiple.

The question:  Why choose a supplement designed to support only your macula if you can take one that also supports the prevention of vascular disease, diabetes, and cancer?
