AREDs Study
"The National Eye Institute Discovers Antioxidants Play Essential Role In Ocular Health "In January 1997, Dr. Carl Kupfer, then the Director of the National Eye Institute, National Institutes of Health, stated publicly that macular degeneration will soon take on aspects of an epidemic!
Only nutritional supplementation is of any help!
The National Eye Institute (NEI) did a large study that showed very convincing evidence that certain antioxidants slow the progression of AMD or may even prevent it altogether. NEI director Paul A. Sieving, M.D., Ph.D. reports, "At present, the only established way to decrease the risk of vision loss in people with large drusen (early AMD) is to take daily supplements of vitamins and minerals as used in the NEI-supported Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS)." Sieving continued. "This study found that high-dose antioxidant vitamins and minerals (vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, zinc, and copper), taken by mouth by people at risk of developing advanced AMD, reduced the risk of progression to advanced AMD by 25 percent and the risk of moderate vision loss by 19 percent." These preventative antioxidants can specifically be found in certain vitamin and nutritional supplements that can be ordered through this website. Order Now! |
