Lutamax 10 mg Capsules 30 cap

Lutamax serves as a supplementary balanced diet. A dietary supplement to supplement the daily diet with the essential nutrient lutein. 

- for the treatment of age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
- contains the essential nutrient lutein
- "Natural sunglasses" for the eye
- lactose, purine and gluten free

Use is recommended in all phases of AMD, including the later phases. Lutamax contains the essential nutrient lutein. In humans, lutein is stored in the visual cells of the retina. There it filters the particularly high-energy, blue light and thereby protects the visual cells from possible light damage. Lutein therefore has the function of "natural sunglasses" for the eye.

Age-related macular degeneration: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a disease that occurs more frequently from the age of 60. In the early phase of the disease you can see blurred. This loss of vision increases over the
years. Eventually you lose sight in the center of your field of vision. Reading or simple household chores are made much more difficult. That means especially in old age
a significant reduction in the quality of life. AMD is one of the most common causes of blindness in Europe. AMD is caused by damage to the visual cells, especially in the central area of ​​the retina ("macula lutea"), the place of sharpest vision. When high-energy light radiation and oxygen come together, various substances are damaged in the retina. The result is deposits of pollutants ("drusen") which impair the supply of nutrients to the visual cells and ultimately lead to their death. A particularly rapid and significant loss of vision occurs when bleeding occurs ("wet form of AMD").

Properties of Lutein
Lutein is a herbal substance that the body cannot produce on its own. Unfortunately, we only take in very small amounts of lutein through food. Lutein has the property of filtering the blue part of the light spectrum particularly efficiently (up to 80%). This means that this part of the light no longer reaches the photoreceptor cells. This is important because blue light has a very high energy due to its short wavelength and is therefore particularly dangerous to the eye. Lutein also has powerful antioxidant properties. It also reduces light scattering ("chromatic
aberration"). This effect allows edges or outlines to be seen more clearly.
