Vision Essence GTG3-Low-Zinc+MZ
alternative to the U.S. NEI-NIH formula- contains no beta-carotene. It combines all three macular protective pigments with a reduced dose of zinc and vitamins C and E to provide antioxidants for the maintenance of eye health. Two capsules taken daily increases macular pigment density to help maintain eyesight in conditions related to sunlight damage, such as age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Vision Essence Zinc-free3+MZ is advised for those sensitive to high-dose zinc supplements, and those who’ve not performed genetic testing to determine if zinc supplements will accelerate AMD. Formulas containing zinc are not advised for early stage AMD. A genetic test to determine zinc compatibility is strongly advised.
Recommended for: Patients with intermediate stage AMD who've completed the VitaRisk genetic test and have been identified as zinc-positive: Genotype Group 3 (GTG3).
