Antioxidant vitamin and mineral supplements for slowing the progression of age-related macular degeneration<\/a><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Authors’ conclusions: <\/strong>Moderate-certainty evidence suggests that antioxidant vitamin and mineral supplementation (AREDS: vitamin C, E, beta-carotene, and zinc) probably slows down progression to late AMD.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People with intermediate AMD have a higher chance of benefiting from antioxidant supplements because their risk of progression is higher than people with early AMD. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“lutein\/zeaxanthin may be a suitable replacement for the beta-carotene used in the original AREDS formula.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lutein and zeaxanthin belong to the xanthophyll family of carotenoids, which are pigments produced by plants<\/strong>. Structurally, they are very similar, differing only slightly in the arrangement of atoms. Key sources of these carotenoids include kale, savoy cabbage, spinach, broccoli, peas, parsley, corn, and egg yolks<\/p>\n\n\n\n
