Lumega Z for Macula Health from Davies Eye Center

How Does Lumega-Z Impact Macular Health? 

Studies confirms what ophthalmologists have believed for decades: Getting the right nutrients can help prevent vision-threatening diseases, including age-related macular degeneration and cataracts. Omega 3, coQ10, and vitamins B, C, D and E are now well-established as some of the most eye-friendly nutrients. Lumega-Z has been found not only as an important medical food to prevent vision loss from macular degeneration, but it has also recently been identified as a possible biomarker for neurogenerative disorders like Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia, making it beneficial for overall cognitive health an quality of life.

To learn how Lumega-Z works, it helps to understand macular pigment and how important it is for ocular health and staving off eye diseases like macular degeneration. The macula is located in the middle of the retina and is responsible for sharp central vision. The macular pigment is a protective layer built up from nutrients in your diet, called carotenoids, which most people don’t get enough of from their everyday diet. Without sufficient carotenoids, your macular pigment cannot carry out its most important functions of blocking and absorbing harmful UV radiation and protect against oxidative and inflammatory damage. Luckily, it’s possible to restore or maintain your macular pigment with Lumega-Z.
