Fortifeye Next Gen Zinc Free Macular Defense Capsules

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.

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.

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. Notably, a specific combination of pine bark extract and bilberry has shown clinical efficacy in reducing intraocular pressure in patients.  Another study suggests that individuals with early-stage diabetic retinopathy who supplement with pine bark extract may have some positive benefits.  

Furthermore, ongoing research is exploring the potential benefits of pine bark extract in various areas, including Alzheimer’s disease, skin health, athletic performance, cognitive improvement, ADHD, erectile dysfunction, osteoarthritis, bone loss, and certain autoimmune conditions, among others. With its diverse range of investigations, pine bark extract holds promise as a valuable nutrient for supporting healthy aging when incorporated into a supplement.

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.

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. This supplement represents an evolution in nutritional science and will continue to evolve as new scientific discoveries emerge. It provides essential support for nutritional anti-aging, benefiting both the eyes and the entire body.
