VisiVite AREDS Formula For Macular Degeneration - 60 capsules

The National Eye Institute's Age Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS), published in 2001 showed that high dose nutritional supplementation slowed the progression of macular degeneration. VisiVite Original AREDS Formula has these benefits:     VisiVite exactly duplicates the ingredient amounts used in the AREDS research.               VisiVite requires only two capsules per day, compared with less convenient formulas that require 4 tablets per day.               VisiVite is independently tested for potency and purity so that you are sure that you are getting the necessary nutrients.               VisiVite formulas use the higher quality Natural Vitamin E (D-Alpha tocopherol) derived from healthy plant oils rather than Artificial Vitamin E (DL-Alpha tocopherol).   Take one capsule twice daily. Capsules may be opened into food or drink for patients that have difficulty swallowing. UPC # 899205000010 Macular degeneration is an aging change that causes thinning and retinal atrophy. Typical dry macular degeneration findings include drusen and retinal pigment atrophy. In some patients, macular degeneration progresses to wet macular degeneration, also known as exudative macular degeneration. These cases involve the abnormal growth of new retinal blood vessels, known as neovascular membranes, that leak protein and bleed below the surface of the retina, causing more abrupt and severe vision loss.
