The macula is the central area of the retina that allows sharp and detailed vision of everything around us.

Aging phenomena related to the production of free radicals and inflammatory factors that occur with advancing age can lead to the alteration of this important structure and consequently to so-called age-related macular degeneration (or AMD), which is currently recognized as the leading cause of blindness in developed countries and leads to difficulties in reading, writing, driving and recognizing people’s faces.

Factors such as age over 50, familiarity, smoking and cholesterol increase its incidence. 

Considering the world’s aging population in developed countries and the spread of unhealthy living and eating habits, it is essential to introduce supplements into our daily lives that, effectively absorbed at the intestinal level, counteract the phenomena of “macular aging.”
