Age Related Macular Degeneration, or AMD, is a progressive eye disease affecting millions of people throughout the world. While there has been much research, there is little advancement in treating this eye disease.
The largest completed studies to date have been done by the National Eye Institute. They did two large studies called AREDS and AREDS 2 (Age Related Eye Disease Study).
The original AREDS study found that people who took daily doses of specific antioxidants reduced their risk of developing advanced age related macular degeneration. The National Eye Institute concluded from AREDS that people who are at risk of developing advanced age related macular degeneration can benefit from taking a daily combination of the nutrients studied.
The specific antioxidants studied were: Vitamin C; Vitamin E; Beta-carotene; Zinc; and Copper. Copper was added to the AREDS formulations containing zinc to prevent copper deficiency anemia, a condition associated with high levels of zinc intake.
AREDS 2 found that you can slow progression even more when you substitute beta-carotene with lutein and zeaxanthin.

The results from the 5 year follow up study called AREDS 2 was reported in May of 2013 by the National Eye Institute. They found that when you replace beta-carotene (from AREDS) with lutein and zeaxanthin that it slows progression of AMD even more. Omega-3’s had no effect on the progression of the eye disease. Zeaxanthin (pronounced Zea-zan-thin) and lutein (pronounced LOO-teen) are members of a class of naturally pigmented chemicals found in the macula that protect the eye from harmful blue light.
Preserve Mac Forte contains all the antioxidants studied in the AREDS study as well as lutein and zeaxanthin currently showing promise in AREDS 2.
In addition, Preserve Mac Forte contains a total of 27 high quality ingredients that help protect your eyes and support full body health. It is formulated by a US physician and is manufactured in a U.S. facility following cGMP guidelines (current Good Manufacturing Practices), which ensures the highest quality control available.
Disclaimer: Preserve Mac Forte contains 27 high quality ingredients and is based on aspects of AREDS and AREDS, which were conducted by the National Eye Institute. These studies concluded that taking a daily supplement with specific levels of these antioxidants slows the progression of macular degeneration. Currently, there is no known way to reverse macular degeneration nor improve lost vision from macular degeneration. The best hope is to slow the progression of dry macular degeneration through proper nutrition and supplementation. Most customers who use our eye vitamin, Preserve Mac Forte, do not and will not see any improvements in their vision nor score better on their eye exams. The results from our customers expressing such improvements are not typical and are considered exceptional results. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
