Fortifeye now have an entire line of genotype-directed supplements for macular degeneration.

The latest studies suggest that a percentage of the population with specific genotypes that have macular degeneration may actually be harmed by taking high dosage of zinc yet some may benefit from taking zinc and antioxidants.

The only way to know whether zinc is good or bad is to have a genetic DNA test for macular degeneration . This is a simple in office DNA test to determine what particular type of genes a macular degeneration patient has and will allow eye care providers to customize their nutritional regiment to each patient. Genotype-directed nutritional therapy could result in significantly improved future outcomes for many patients with macular degeneration. DNA testing should become the gold standard now to help the eye care provider determine which supplement to take. Nutritional Experts agree that no more than 40mg of zinc should be taken daily.

The Doctors at Fortifeye have made some recommendations on when to take the zinc free macular Defense vs Macular Defense

1.  If you take a DNA test that shows zinc may be potentially harmful for your macular then take zinc free Macular Defense.  This test must be done by your eye care provider.
2.  If you eat animal proteins during the day you should have plenty of zinc and should take the zinc free macular defense.  Vegans / plant based diet or anyone that eats very little animal protein should take Macular Defense that does have some zinc.
3.  Alcoholics need zinc so should take Macular Defense not zinc free.
4.  Digestive issues like Crohn’s and ulcerative colitis may need more zinc so need to take Macular Defenses and not zinc free.
5.  Patients taking diuretics may need the zinc so should take Macular Defense not zinc free .

These are basic guidelines set up to help customers and doctors determine which Macular Defense supplement is best.  Fortifeye always recommends discussing your nutritional supplements with your health care provider and or eye care provider. Read ingredient profile and make sure you are not allergic to anything in the formula before taking.  Always take with food and not on an empty stomach and best not to take all at one time, take with different meals during the day. Example: when taking 3 per day take one with breakfast, lunch and supper.
