In clinical trials, the formula used in MaculaPM™ benefited people with dry AMD, also known as geographic atrophy, (GA) by slowing the progression to Wet AMD. 

Your primary care physician or eye care provider is in the best position to advise you on how treat your AMD. You may wish to discuss supplements with your health care providers to decide which, if any, supplements are right for you.

Nutritional supplements such as MaculaPM™ cannot prevent AMD. However, supplements may delay progression to advanced AMD and may help you keep your vision longer. Trials following patients for more than 10 years show that the benefits of the ingredients used in MaculaPM™ have persisted over this time.

Yes. MaculaPM™ does not substitute for multivitamins. 

No. The vitamins and minerals found in the formulation of MaculaPM™ are in much higher doses than what is found in multivitamins. Research shows that taking the MaculaPM™ formulation in addition to a multivitamin clearly provided benefits over and above multivitamins alone.

No. The high levels of active ingredients in MaculaPM™ are difficult to achieve from diet alone. However, previous studies have suggested that people who have diets rich in green, leafy vegetables—a good source of lutein and zeaxanthin—have a lower risk of developing AMD.

In a clinical trial, the participants who benefitted most from taking lutein + zeaxanthin were those who did not get much of these nutrients in their diet. Within this group, those who received lutein/zeaxanthin supplements had a 26% reduced risk of developing advanced AMD compared with those who did not receive the supplements.
