Well supplied eyes with Ocuvite^®macula
Ocuvite^®Macula is used for the dietary treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) used. The clinically tested vitamin B combination also contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism.¹

The product at a glance:

patented vitamin complex
Vitamin B6, B12 and folic acid
scientifically tested
only 1 capsule daily

In addition, Ocuvite^®Macula contains:

14 mg lutein plus zeaxanthin
valuable anthocyanins from blueberry extract

Ocuvite^®contains a macula scientific knowledge based selection of micronutrients. Main ingredient is a patented vitamin complex from B6, B12 and folic acid, combined with the carotenoids lutein, zeaxanthin and blueberry extract. degenerative Processes in the macula can not prevented, but possibly delayed be by the metabolism there by taking Antioxidant supports and a good blood circulation is promoted.

RISK FACTOR: HIGH LEVELS OF HOMOCYSTONE

triggers increased oxidative stress
promotes the accumulation of blood platelets and fibrin (plaques) in the vessels
reduces the elasticity of the vessels
impairs blood flow to the retina in the eye
promotes the progression of AMD

How does the eye work?
The human eye is built similar to ours know from a camera. The light-sensitive cells are located on the retina cells. It is comparable to the film in a camera. Your cells take the light stimuli and conduct the visual impressions in the form of nerve signals on to the brain.
2. the "rods" are for black and white vision and important for the field of vision to the outside.

The cones are in the optical axis of the eye, i.e. in the middle of the retina.

This area is also called “yellow spot” or “macula lutea", called macula for short. So the macula is the place of "central vision.

What you should know about age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
Age-related macular degeneration is a far common retinal disease.
It usually does not develop before the age of 50.
The risk of disease increases with age.
AMD does not cause pain and develops often unnoticed. It impairs the eyesight Initial stage usually only slight.

There are risk factors that increase the risk of disease increase: Increasing age and family predisposition with AMD are among the essential, uncontrollable factors. smoking, sunlight and unbalanced diet and elevated homocysteine levels in the blood, on the other hand, there are factors that can be influenced. With appropriate measures, you can make a valuable contribution to the health of your eyes.

The causes of AMD are varied and not until today clearly resolved. An important role in its creation of the disease play oxidative stress, an increasing Deposit of waste products (drusen) under of the retina and disturbed blood flow. Ultimately the supply situation deteriorates Visual cells and the oxidative stress increases. So come there is an impairment or degeneration of the light-sensitive cells in the macula.

If there is an AMD disease, the first ones quit Vision problems by straightening with the affected eye Lines no longer straight, but increasing as irregular - sometimes interrupted, sometimes with little spikes in it – to be noticed.
As the disease progresses, these visual disturbances increase and it often lays an opaque veil over the center of view.

What you know about oxidative stress, homocysteine and circulatory disorders of the eye should know
There are about 125 million light-sensitive cells visual cells on the retina.
They have their highest density in the macula. The complex metabolic processes and the constant Exposure to UV and blue light from daylight lead to a pronounceden oxidative stress of the retina by so-called free radicals.

The metabolism and the Oxygen and micronutrient requirements. So that eye can remain healthy and fulfill its tasks, it must always be sufficiently supplied with blood.

If there is a circulatory disorder, oxygen and important nutrients such as B. Antioxidants, the cannot reach the eye in sufficient quantity. This can lead to declining eyesight in the long term to lead. One measure is therefore to ensure eye care. In addition can Adequate intake of antioxidants (eg Anthocyanins, e.g. from blueberry extract) and carotenoids contribute. These are typical Dietary components, the carotenoids being lutein and zeaxanthin in the human body in particular accumulated in the macula.

For an adequate supply is ultimately a good blood circulation in the eye is important. Too much homocysteine in the blood can increase the blood flow and thus the affect the supply of the cells.

Homocysteine is a cytotoxin that breaks down protein arises and can damage the vascular wall. It can be found in everyone's blood. While in newborns no or only very small amounts are present in the blood, the level rises with them tends to increase with age.

The homocysteine level can be checked by a general practitioner to be determined.
