How AREDS2 Formulas With Lutein & Zeaxanthin Help With Macular Degeneration

If you've been hearing about AREDS but don't really know what it means, mEYEspa is here to answer your questions!

(firmenpresse) - Affecting the macula—the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision—AMD is a progressive eye disease that can lead to blurred or lost central vision. According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), an estimated 200 million people are affected by the condition worldwide, and this number is expected to rise to 300 million by 2040. If you're looking for ways to delay the development of AMD, you've definitely heard of AREDS—but what is it actually?

mEYEspa discusses the findings of the Age-Related Eye Disease Studies (AREDS/AREDS2), which have demonstrated the efficacy of specific vitamins and minerals in delaying the development of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts. Conducted by the National Eye Institute (NEI), these clinical trials served as the foundation for the development of AREDS formulas, now widely used in managing these vision-related conditions.
Key Findings From The AREDS Studies As mEYEspa notes, the AREDS 2001 study found that formulations containing Vitamin C, Vitamin E, beta-carotene, zinc, and copper reduced the risk of developing advanced AMD by 25% in high-risk individuals. Building upon these results, the AREDS2 2013 study investigated the effects of adding omega-3 fatty acids and replacing beta-carotene with lutein and zeaxanthin.
This adjustment made the formula safer for smokers, as beta-carotene was linked to an increased risk of lung cancer. Additionally, by protecting the retina against oxidative damage and filtering harmful blue light, these carotenoids further contributed to reducing the progression to advanced AMD, particularly among participants with a low dietary intake, says the company.
Why Some AREDS Formulas Are Low In Zinc The guide expands on how high zinc content in some AREDS formulas has sparked debate over its potential to cause gastrointestinal discomfort and overexposure. It explains that in response, certain formulas are specifically labeled as low zinc.

mEYEspa advises you to consult your eye care professional to determine the best treatment for your vision health. It highlights that genetic testing options can provide personalized insights and identify therapies based on your individual profile.
