The triple carotenoid formula plus vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, and copper — an AREDS2-based eye vitamin for patients with age-related macular degeneration. Recommended by Dr. Amy Catalano Boyer and Dr. Susan Gallant-Behan at Fox Run Eye Care.
Doctor Recommended
If you have been diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration (AMD), your eye doctor may recommend an AREDS2-based supplement. AREDS2 was a large clinical study published in 2013 that looked at which nutrients help slow the progression of AMD.
MacuHealth+ is formulated on the basis of the AREDS2 study, for adults whose eye care professional has recommended an AREDS2-based supplement. It combines all three macular carotenoids — 10mg Meso-Zeaxanthin, 10mg Lutein, and 2mg Zeaxanthin — with vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, and copper. Take 4 softgels daily, preferably with a meal.
Available exclusively in-office at Fox Run Eye Care, 603 Portsmouth Ave., Greenland, NH 03840. Serving patients from Portsmouth, Dover, Exeter, Hampton, and the NH Seacoast.
The Science Behind It
All three macular carotenoids plus the AREDS2 co-antioxidants — in a daily 4-softgel serving.
Macular Carotenoids
Found naturally at the very center of the macula. The most powerful antioxidant of the three macular carotenoids.
Key macular carotenoid that filters high-energy blue light and supports macular health.
Filters harmful high-energy light and supports vision in glare.
AREDS2 Co-Antioxidants
Antioxidant included in the AREDS2 formulation.
Natural d-alpha tocopherol — a co-antioxidant shown, along with the carotenoids, to support visual health.
Reduced from the original 80mg AREDS dose to 25mg, in line with the recommended dietary allowance.
Included in the AREDS2 formulation alongside zinc.
AREDS2 showed a statistically significant 9% reduction in the risk of progression to advanced AMD among participants who received lutein and zeaxanthin, compared with those who did not. Reducing zinc from 80mg to 25mg — the amount in MacuHealth+ — did not reduce that benefit. MacuHealth+ also adds 10mg of Meso-Zeaxanthin, the carotenoid concentrated at the very center of the macula.
Key Benefits
Daily AREDS2-based nutrition for patients managing age-related macular degeneration.
Formulated on the basis of AREDS2 — the major clinical study on nutrition and AMD progression, published in 2013.
All three macular carotenoids in the patented 10:10:2 ratio help rebuild the protective pigment at the center of your retina.
25mg of zinc instead of the original 80mg AREDS dose — AREDS2 found no significant difference in outcomes between the two.
Vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, and copper — the antioxidant nutrients of the AREDS2 formulation.
Goes beyond standard AREDS2 formulas by adding 10mg of Meso-Zeaxanthin, the centrally dominant macular carotenoid.
Take 4 softgels daily, preferably with a meal. Each bottle is a 90-day supply.
