SUPPORT YOUR VISION Research has shown that 22 mg of carotenoids in a 10 10 2 ratio of Lutein Meso Zeaxanthin and Zeaxanthin increases macular pigment density which can improve contrast sensitivity 3 vision in glare and low light 4 and speed of visual processing 2 DID YOU KNOW The average person consumes only one to two milligrams of macular carotenoids daily 10 HOW MUCH IS NEEDED While there is not a defined Recommended Daily Value for macular carotenoids studies of healthy individuals 11 and the human diet through evolution 12 show that 20 25 mg of macular carotenoids is an appropriate daily goal Spinach has one of the highest levels of Lutein and Zeaxanthin one cup 25 g contains 3 mg of Lutein Zeaxanthin combined 13 To reach the daily carotenoid goal one would need to consume 7 cups 175 g of spinach While this meets the overall carotenoid goal it does not contain the third macular carotenoid Meso Zeaxanthin 866 704 0845 info macuhealth com Use this code for a discount on your first order Nutrition you can see SUPPLEMENT FACTS Serving Size 1 Softgel Servings Per Container 90 Amount Per Serving Calories Total Fat Daily Value 5 5 g 1 Lutein Meso Zeaxanthin Zeaxanthin Omega 3 Fish Oil EPA Eicosapentaenoic Acid DHA Docosahexaenoic Acid 10 mg 10 mg 2 mg 50 mg 250 mg Percent Daily Values are based on a 2 000 calorie diet Daily Value not established Other Ingredients Fish Oil Gelatin Capsule Gelatin Glycerin Purified Water Annatto Lemon Flavor Yellow Beeswax Lemon Flavor Sunflower Lecithin Ascorbyl Palmitate and Natural Mixed Tocopherols TM 2024 MacuHealth Distribution All rights reserved These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration This product is not intended to diagnose treat cure or prevent any disease References 1 Arunkumar et al 2020 doi 10 1016 j bbalip 2020 158617 2 Renzi et al 2013 doi 10 1179 1476830513Y 0000000054 3 Nolan et al 2016 doi 10 1167 iovs 16 19520 4 Stringham et al 2016 doi 10 1186 s40662 016 0060 8 5 Stringham et al 2017 doi 10 3390 foods6070047 6 Mrowicka et al 2022 doi 10 3390 nu14040827 7 Ma et al 2016 doi 10 3390 nu8070426 8 Johnson et al 2008 doi 10 1179 147683008X301450 9 Arie B Sports Vision How enhancing your vision can give you that extra edge in competition Peak Performance 2 2 188 6 8 10 Johnson et al 2010 doi 10 1016 j jada 2010 06 009 11 Su et al 2002 doi 10 1038 sj ejcn 1601472 12 Murray et al 2001 doi 10 1006 jfca 2000 0960 13 https fdc nal usda gov fdc app html food details 1103136 nutrients TF VEP 20241121 V9_PV1 www macuhealth com

MACULAR PIGMENT The macula is a small but important part of the retina located at the back of the eye It is responsible for detailed central vision allowing you to connect a tennis racket to a ball a hockey stick to a puck or track the stitches of a moving baseball Three potent antioxidants called carotenoids Lutein L Zeaxanthin Z and Meso Zeaxanthin MZ are found in high concentration in the macula Together they are collectively known as macular pigment Macula Carotenoids L Z MZ Macular Pigment THE BENEFITS OF HIGH MACULAR PIGMENT Protects Against Oxidative Stress The carotenoids of macular pigment are antioxidants protecting the sensitive cells in the retina from oxidative damage caused by light exposure and metabolic activity 1 Enhances Visual Function Studies have shown that higher macular pigment density is associated with faster reaction times 2 improved contrast sensitivity 3 better vision in glare and faster photostress recovery times 4 Internal Blue Light Filter High energy blue light from sunlight and digital devices is absorbed by macular pigment 5 as illustrated in Figure 1 It is our own internal blue light filter protecting our central vision WHAT ARE CAROTENOIDS Carotenoids are natural pigments our bodies can t make on their own so we need to get them from our diet There are over 600 carotenoids in nature but humans only consume about 50 Only three of these carotenoids accumulate in the retina Lutein Zeaxanthin and Meso Zeaxanthin These powerful antioxidants play a crucial role in supporting the macula from oxidative stress by absorbing harmful blue light and neutralizing free radicals 6 Key dietary sources of carotenoids include brightly colored fruits and vegetables leafy greens egg yolks and fish SUPPLEMENTATION IS KEY Supporting a healthy diet and lifestyle with a carotenoid supplement particularly one that contains all three macular carotenoids has been shown to increase macular pigment density 7 Supplementation is key to keeping your macular pigment at a healthy level and you at the top of your game Blue Light Unfiltered Blue Light Filtered Low Macular Pigment Enhanced Macular Pigment Figure 1 An Illustration of how macular pigment filters blue light DOCTOR RECOMMENDED Vision Edge PRO contains all three macular carotenoids in a 10 10 2 ratio of Lutein Meso Zeaxanthin and Zeaxanthin plus 300 mg of DHA EPA Omega 3 Fish Oil DHA and EPA Omega 3 Fish Oil has been shown to work synergistically with macular carotenoids 8 and most health organizations recognize that 300 mg of DHA EPA combined meets the minimum daily requirement for Omega 3s BEFORE AFTER A GAME OF MILLISECONDS Doctors estimate that up to 80 of perceptual input in sports comes from the eyes 9 The overall ability to process and respond to visual stimuli enhances athletic performance When it comes down to milliseconds if you can react faster you ll perform better Ask your doctor how Vision Edge PRO can help Learn more at MacuHealth com
