HUNTINGTON, NEW YORK -- The battle to slow the progression of age related macular degeneration has just gained one more victory with the help of the revolutionary VisiVite AREDS-2 Formula. VisiVite.com, under parent company Vitamin Science Inc., has introduced VisiVite AREDS-2 Macular Degeneration Formula to combat macular degeneration.
Unlike traditional macular degeneration vitamins, VisiVite AREDS 2 Formula contains ingredients that are scientifically proven by the National Eye Institute to lessen the effects of macular degeneration. VisiVite AREDS-2 Formula mirrors the ingredients used in the ongoing Age Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) 2, sponsored by the National Eye Institute. The study is designed to measure whether these vitamins can help slow the progression of macular degeneration and even improve vision. The AREDS-2 Formula is based on the amount of Lutein, Zeaxanthin, Omega-3 Fatty Acids and highly concentrated Anti-Oxidant Vitamins and Minerals used in the AREDS 2 study.
"At the time that the original Age Related Eye Disease Study was performed, neither Lutein nor Zeaxanthin was commercially available. Based on the convincing results of subsequent research, the National Eye Institute chose to include these two critical carotenoids in the AREDS 2 research," says Nancy Golinko, Senior Vice President and Nutritional Advisor for Eye Care Professionals.
4, 000 participants suffering from age related macular degeneration are involved in the AREDS 2 study. They are being given one of three types of tablets: DSM lutein/zeaxanthin tablets, lutein/zeaxanthin pills, or fish oil/placebo oil softgel capsules. The VisiVite AREDS 2 Formula contains 10 mg Lutein, 2 mg Zeaxanthin, 1706 mg Omega-3 Fatty Acids, and Antioxidants like Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Zinc, and Copper.
