Protect Your Vision From AMD With Lumega-Z
- Posted on: Feb 28 2020
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of vision loss in adults age 50 and older. Although there is currently no cure for the disease, there are ways to slow its progression and prevent (and even reverse) vision loss.
When Reader’s Digest asked Dr. Gregory Pamel about the best ways to reduce the risk of losing vision to AMD, Dr. Pamel was eager to recommend the benefits of Lumega-Z. This medical food helps to replenish and maintain the macular pigment, a protective pigment layer that is very important to macular and ocular health.
Take a moment to learn why Dr. Pamel believes that taking Lumega-Z can help you enjoy clear vision for many years.
The Only Medical Food Designed Specifically for Eye Nutrition
Lumega-Z is the only FDA-approved medical food designed specifically for eye nutrition. It contains the three carotenoids — lutein, zeaxanthin and meso-zeaxanthin — that make up the macular pigment. The macular pigment protects the macula, the area of the retina responsible for sharp central vision. A robust macular pigment blocks out harmful blue light rays and neutralizes free radicals.
Consuming enough carotenoids through our diets is virtually impossible, as our meals do not have the levels of carotenoids that they used to; also, as we age, it is harder for our bodies to absorb carotenoids through food sources. Furthermore, meso-zeaxanthin is not commonly found in nature — it has to be converted inside the eye through consumption of lutein. Without these key nutrients, the macular pigment becomes depleted. Over time, this lack of protection can lead to sight-stealing diseases including AMD, glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy.
Luckily, studies have shown that taking Lumega-Z can increase macular pigment density by up to 30 percent within three to six months. This easy-to-drink, easy-to-digest liquid contains all three macular pigments as well as a range of antioxidant and anti-inflammatory ingredients that are good for your retinal and ocular health.
Since Lumega-Z comes in liquid form, your body absorbs a large amount of its powerful nutrients (unlike other products on the market that come in pill form). Also, Lumega-Z comes with a separate bottle of Omega Boost, another liquid that is chock-full of eye-friendly essential fatty acids.
