What Vitamins Are Good for Macular Degeneration Prevention?

[Glen Gardner]

I don't have macular degeneration. But I heard that most of us will develop this kind of disease when we get older. So I want to know what vitamins can prevent macular degeneration. And ideas?

[Glen Haven]

Take Areds vitamin formulas 2 times each day can help prevent the development of macular degeneration. This kind of supplements can slow the progression of age-related macular degeneration. It is a combination of zinc, vitamin E, vitamin C, copper and beta carotene. The study has shown that it have good effect on patients so you can have a try.

Vitamin C and E are good for macular degeneration prevention. I also heard that the Areds formula do not have apparent benefit for people without A.M.D. so as you are a healthy person, you can take in vitamins by keeping a healthy diet. I know that diet rich in green leafy vegetables can help prevent the A.M.D. and diet with lots of fruits and vegetables rich in Lutein and zeaxanthin can help reduce the risk of vision loss from A.M.D.
