WHAT DOES IT DO?
According to the manufacturer:
"Macular Support Formula is a
combination of potent antioxidants and botanicals designed to protect and
support the macula, the central area of the retina responsible for sharp
vision. Since the macula is extremely susceptible to free radical damage,
current research stresses the importance of antioxidant supplementation in
maintaining and improving macular health. This formula is enhanced with
lutein, one of only two carotenoids found in macular pigment. Lutein
promotes the integrity and density of the macular pigment. The antioxidant
activity of lutein also provides optimal protection of the macula from
light. In addition, lutein helps to maintain the health of the optical
lens. Contains FloraGLO® brand Lutein from Kemin.
This comprehensive formula brings together proanthocyanidins, amino acids,
vitamin C and carotenoids to provide exceptional protection against free
radical damage in retinal tissue. "
