Cartotenoids Reverse AMD

Carotenoids are antioxidants that produce the bright red, orange, yellow and green colors of vegetables and fruits. Notable carotenoids include lutein, Zeaxanthin, beta-carotene, and lycopene.

A new study shows that carotenoids benefit eye health and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). The researchers found that those in the untreated AMD group had no changes in their mfERG. Those in the supplement groups had “a reduction in mfERG impairment” around the center of the retina (and thereby an improvement in AMD symptoms) that was observed by six months. The researchers felt that the supplement improved overall nerve cell health in the eye.

Read details on this carotenoid - lutein AMD study.
