Age Related Macular Degeneration
Age related macular degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of irreversible vision loss in older Americans.
Clinical trials or studies are the gold standard of scientific research because of the rigorous standards.
In a recent clinical study it was found that those taking a supplemental B vitamin had a 34% lower risk of developing AMD than those taking a placebo.
Even though specific B vitamins folic acid, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 were used, it is important to remember that all eight of the B’s work together for the best benefit.
B vitamins are easily destroyed by heat. Eating your veggies raw or slightly steamed is best. If that isn’t possible, consider a high quality B vitamin supplement.
B vitamins are used up quickly by the body when under stress.
Stress?? What’s that?
The body does not store B vitamins and need to be replaced daily.
When reading supplement labels, make sure you are getting 100% of folic acid and 100% of biotin.
