ScienceBased Health, Houston, TX, has launched two new nutritional formulations to support those diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration (AMD). MacularProtect Complete drink mix, available in Mango Lemonade flavor, contains the ingredients from the company's original MacularProtect Complete capsule formulation. Two scoops mixed with water daily deliver nutrients at levels found to reduce the risk of AMD and its associated vision loss in the landmark Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) plus a comprehensive multinutrient to protect whole body health. MacularProtect Omega 3 Companion is based on the ongoing AREDS 2 clinical trial – a follow-up to the original AREDS trial, which is studying whether lutein (10 mg), zeaxanthin (2 mg) and/or 1000 mg of the omega 3 fats EPA and DHA will slow disease progression for those with at least moderate AMD. Two soft gels daily of MacularProtect Omega 3 Companion contain 1000 mg of highly pure fish oil. The formulation reflects the levels of EPA (650 mg) and DHA (350 mg) being studied in AREDS 2 and includes zeaxanthin. It is intended to be combined with MacularProtect Complete, based on the original AREDS trial and inclusive of 10 mg of lutein and a multinutrient.
