Zeaxanthin

Combat AMD Now

The effects of age related macular degeneration are permanent. Although there is no cure for AMD, VisiVite has developed several formulas with ingredients that have proven effective in slowing the progression of AMD. Studies have shown that Zeaxanthin, a powerful antioxidant carotenoid found in the retina, is effective in slowing the effects of AMD. Zeaxanthin acts as a shield to block out the damaging UV rays of the sun. We have several Zeaxanthin supplements available, including:

• VisiVite i-Defense Gold Formula is a complete macular degeneration supplement safe for non-smokers and includes 15 mg Lutein, 4.75 mg Zeaxanthin, and poweful antioxidants.
• VisiVite i-Defense Green Formula is a complete macular degeneration supplement for smokers. It contains 15 mg Lutein, 4.75 mg Zeaxanthin, and strong antioxidants.
• VisiVite i-Defense E-Free Formula is a powerful vitamin supplement for eye health in people that take Coumadin or otherwise want to avoid taking high doses of Vitamin E.
• VisiVite Premier Ocular Formula No. 2 is based upon the latest work being performed by the National Eye Institute, the Age Related Eye Disease Study 2.

Q: Why do I need Zeaxanthin?
A: The average American only consumes about 0.2 to 2 mg of Zeaxanthin per day. A healthy human eye needs about 5 mg of Zeaxanthin per day.

Zeaxanthin should be a permanent part of your life. Start slowing the progression of AMD today.

Q: What are the benefits of Zeaxanthin?
A: The Schepens Eye Research Institute and Department of Ophthalmology at Harvard Medical School conducted a study that revealed Zeaxanthin plays an important role in protecting the retina from the harmful rays of the sun. Protecting the macula and retina is essential in attaining healthy eyes and reducing the progression of AMD.

Q: Is it safe?
A: There are no known side effects of Zeaxanthin, although you should always consult your physician before taking any new supplement or medication. Zeaxanthin has undergone extensive testing on animals and humans at about 10 mg per dosage, doses way beyond what we offer. It is currently recognized by the US Food and Drug Administration as "GRAF", or Generally Recognized As Safe. Fair-skinned people exceeding the maximum recommended dosage of 10 mg per day may experience a yellow-golden skin coloration.

Q: How does Zeaxanthin work?
A: Zeaxanthin works to keep the blood vessels in the eye continuously supplied with essential nutrients. It stores itself in the lens of your eye and in the macula. The macula, located in the center of the retina, absorbs Zeaxanthin and blocks out harmful UV light. Since the effects of age related vision loss only increase as you get older, you should include Zeaxanthin in your daily health regimen now. Start building up your eye's store of Zeaxanthin today.
