Fortifeye Next Gen Zinc Free Macular Defense, the latest in nutritional support designed for overall well-being and optimal eye health. Fortifeye Vitamins has meticulously incorporated the latest evidence-based research from clinical studies to create a groundbreaking multivitamin/eye vitamin combination. By focusing on the macula, Fortifeye has revolutionized their previous Fortifeye Zinc Free Macular Defense, transforming it into this new generation multivitamin/eye vitamin blend. Now available in easy-to-swallow vegetarian capsules, this cost-effective Nutraceutical offers cutting-edge nutrition for complete body wellness and vision support. With thousands of patients worldwide taking Fortifeye Vitamins, the Next Gen Zinc Free Macular Defense formula has been exclusively available through select eye care centers for the past two years. It is with great pleasure that we announce its availability to the general public.
In response to recent scientific findings, Fortifeye Vitamins has introduced a zinc-free antioxidant eye vitamin specifically designed for individuals with macular degeneration. The latest studies indicate that certain genotypes of the population affected by macular degeneration may experience adverse effects from zinc supplementation, while others may benefit from a combination of zinc and antioxidants. This new formulation aims to address these varying genetic factors and provide a tailored approach to support macular degeneration patients without the inclusion of zinc. These nutraceuticals have been developed to promote overall body wellness, bolster the immune system, and provide comprehensive vision support. Fortifeye Next Gen Zinc Free Macular Defense simplifies your regimen with a single capsule to be taken three times a day alongside meals or as recommended by your optometrist or ophthalmologist.
To determine the appropriate nutritional regimen for macular degeneration patients, it is recommended to undergo a genetic DNA test specifically for macular degeneration. This simple in-office test enables eye care providers to identify the patient’s specific genetic profile and customize their nutritional approach accordingly. By implementing genotype-directed nutritional therapy, improved outcomes can be expected for many individuals with macular degeneration. DNA testing should now be considered the gold standard in determining the suitable supplement for each patient. Nutritional experts recommend a daily zinc intake of no more than 40mg.
Fortifeye’s doctors have provided specific recommendations regarding the usage of Zinc-Free Macular Defense and Macular Defense based on different circumstances:
1. If a DNA test conducted by your eye care provider indicates that zinc could potentially be harmful to your macular, it is advised to opt for the Zinc-Free Macular Defense.
2. Individuals who consume animal proteins regularly throughout the day generally obtain sufficient zinc from their diet and are recommended to take the Zinc-Free Macular Defense.
3. Vegans, those following a plant-based diet, or individuals with minimal animal protein intake should opt for the Macular Defense, which contains some zinc.
4. Alcoholics are advised to take Macular Defense, as they typically require additional zinc supplementation.
5. Patients with digestive issues such as Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis may require higher levels of zinc, making Macular Defense the preferred choice over the Zinc-Free Macular Defense.
6. Individuals taking diuretics may benefit from the zinc content in Macular Defense, making it the recommended option instead of the Zinc-Free Macular Defense.
It is important to consult with your healthcare provider or eye care professional to determine the most suitable supplement based on your specific circumstances and needs.
Manufactured in an FDA-inspected facility with NSF certification, this supplement employs USP-certified ingredients. The formulation of this unique new blend is rooted in the latest scientific research and is currently being utilized by numerous individuals dealing with macular degeneration. After nearly two decades of research and fourteen reformulations, the nutrient profile of this supplement has evolved to its current state. The final formula was meticulously refined through extensive clinical use with patients in prominent eye care centers, complemented by serum and intracellular blood testing and retesting.
This new formula incorporates some of the most recent evidence-based nutrients renowned for their visual support and overall health benefits. These include B Complex, eight variations of Vitamin E, D3, C, Saffron, resveratrol, pine bark extract, black currant fruit extract, lutein, zeaxanthin, astaxanthin, grape seed extract, coenzyme Q10, taurine, acetyl l carnitine, alpha-lipoic acid, bilberry, and curcumin derived from the turmeric root. These nutrients possess potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, which may also help inhibit the formation of detrimental blood vessels (anti-VEGF). The formula incorporates clinically studied levels of Vitamins D, E, C, B, and chromium. These ingredients provide nutritional support for many eye and systemic health conditions.
In a comprehensive cardiovascular disease trial spanning seven years and involving over 5,200 women, a daily regimen of folic acid, B-6, and B-12 was administered to half of the participants, while the other half received a placebo. The group receiving the vitamin supplementation experienced a remarkable 41% reduction in the occurrence of macular degeneration. This discovery holds significant implications for both individuals suffering from macular degeneration and their family members. While further research is required, incorporating B complex into one’s diet may prove beneficial in the support of the retina and overall bodily health. Additionally, some early studies suggest that B12 may offer protective benefits against conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, and optic neuropathy. Insufficient levels of B12 have been associated with memory problems, dementia, and Alzheimer’s disease. Furthermore, B12, Folic Acid, and B6 are utilized to lower homocysteine levels, thereby reducing the risk of potential health problems related to elevated homocysteine.
This formula incorporates Lutein and Zeaxanthin isomers within an innovative microbeadlet delivery system. These components play a vital role in replenishing macular pigment density, offering protection against harmful blue light, and serving as potent antioxidants to counteract free radicals. Scientific research suggests that macular pigment density gradually diminishes as macular degeneration advances. Lutein and Zeaxanthin are demonstrating their efficacy in the nutritional support of the macula. Furthermore, studies exploring the effects of these carotenoids reveal their potential benefits for skin health and cognitive function.
To promote the health of mitochondria, the organelles responsible for ATP (energy) production, as well as provide neuroprotection, this formula includes (Acetyl L Carnitine, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Astaxanthin, and CoQ10. Furthermore, all eight forms of vitamin E our tocopherols and four tocotrienols) are incorporated to optimize the neutralization of free radicals.
Resveratrol, a potent polyphenol predominantly found in red wine, exhibits remarkable antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The “French Paradox” highlights the correlation between the French population, who consume diets high in saturated fats, and their lower rates of heart disease and mortality compared to Americans. This phenomenon is attributed, in part, to the potential protective effects of resveratrol found in the red wine they regularly consume. Resveratrol has been associated with promoting healthy aging. Numerous studies have demonstrated potential benefits of resveratrol for various health conditions. Recent research indicates that resveratrol may positively influence conditions such as macular degeneration, cataracts, glaucoma, and proliferative diabetic retinopathy. Fortifeye was among the pioneers in utilizing resveratrol in their supplements, recognizing its potential early on within the industry.
Incorporated for its exceptional ability to neutralize free radicals and reduce inflammation, Astaxanthin provides remarkable benefits. Compared to vitamin C, Astaxanthin is an astounding 550 times more potent in quenching free radicals.
Astaxanthin naturally occurs in the ciliary body of the eye and has been associated with reduced eye strain and improved accommodation. Studies suggest that Astaxanthin also enhances choroidal circulation, promoting better blood flow to the eye. Moreover, Astaxanthin has been the subject of multiple studies showcasing its potential to minimize fine lines and wrinkles, leading to improved skin appearance. Additionally, it has been linked to enhanced muscle endurance and faster muscle recovery. Notably, Astaxanthin is responsible for the vibrant red color seen in wild Alaskan salmon.
The inclusion of Saffron in this formula is noteworthy, as it is recognized as the most expensive spice globally, boasting remarkable health benefits for both overall well-being and ocular health. Recent clinical studies have demonstrated that saffron can enhance visual acuity, with patients experiencing an improvement of two lines in cases of macular degeneration. Additionally, saffron has shown some positive effects on ERG (electroretinogram) measurements. This precious spice contains four exceptional antioxidants: crocin, crocetin, safranal, and kaempferol. Saffron appears to be an extremely safe ingredient, exhibiting significant potential for various health benefits. As a result, many supplements specifically formulated for macular degeneration are now incorporating saffron into their formulations.
Clinical studies have substantiated the beneficial effects of Black Currant Fruit Extract, including improved blood flow to the eye, alleviation of dry eye symptoms, enhanced dark adaptation, and potential slowdown in the progression of visual field loss in glaucoma. Moreover, Black Currant Fruit Extract has been the subject of studies supporting a range of other health benefits.
Pine Bark Extract, a newly added ingredient in Fortifeye Next Gen Zinc Free Macular Defense. This extract is rich in three polyphenols: Procyanidins, Catechins, and Phenolic Acids. These compounds possess potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties.
Bilberry, also known as European blueberry, is rich in potent antioxidants called anthocyanins. This remarkable fruit serves as both an antioxidant and an anti-inflammatory agent. Interestingly, fighter pilots used to consume bilberry jam, as they believed it improved their night vision. Numerous patients have reported experiencing reduced eye fatigue and fewer dry eye symptoms while working on digital screens when supplementing with bilberry. Scientific studies have demonstrated that bilberry supports a healthy retina, enhances contrast sensitivity, and improves tear secretion. Notably, when combined with pine bark extract, bilberry has clinically shown to lower intraocular pressure in patients. With its impressive benefits, bilberry makes another excellent addition to Fortifeye Next Gen Macular Defense.
Grape seed extract is abundant in anthocyanins, flavonoids, and oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs), all of which play a crucial role in safeguarding the body against oxidative stress and inflammation. Research on grape seed extract indicates its potential protective effects against cataracts and its ongoing investigation for promoting retinal health.
Taurine, an amino acid, is highly concentrated in essential organs such as the eyes, brain, muscles, and heart. It plays a critical role in supporting the central nervous system, immune system, and overall eye health. Acting as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory agent, taurine offers valuable protective effects. Furthermore, research suggests that taurine enhances energy levels and improves exercise performance. Studies have also indicated potential benefits of taurine for the eyes, heart, hearing, brain, and liver.
To prioritize safety and address potential risks associated with excessive Vitamin A intake, this new formula does not contain Vitamin A. Additionally, it has been observed that beta carotene, often used as a precursor to Vitamin A, may hinder the absorption of Lutein, Zeaxanthin, and Astaxanthin. Consequently, Fortifeye has made the decision to remove both Vitamin A and beta carotene from the formula.
Instead, this comprehensive formulation incorporates a precise blend of various nutrients in optimal ratios, ensuring maximum cellular absorption. Fortifeye Next Gen Zinc Free Macular Defense can be used alone or in conjunction with Fortifeye Super Omega-3 or Fortifeye Focus to combat free radical damage in both the eyes and the body.
By combining Fortifeye Vitamins or similar supplements with lifestyle adjustments, dietary modifications and following your doctor’s advice you are becoming pro-active in your current and future health. Fortifeye Next Gen Zinc Free Macular Defense is highly recommended for individuals seeking to take proactive measures for the future well-being of their eyes and overall health.
Developed to provide comprehensive nutritional support, Fortifeye Next Gen Zinc Free Macular Defense targets specific nutrients in precise ratios to offer valuable support to the eye and visual system.
Fortifeye’s objective with Fortifeye Next Gen Zinc Free Macular Defense is to deliver the latest advancements in nutritional support for the eyes and the entire body.
