As the latest studies show, those who had the highest intake of animal-based omega-3 fats had a 60 PERCENT LOWER RISK OF ADVANCED AMD (AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION)COMPARED TO THOSE WHO CONSUMED THE LEAST. A 2009 study also found that those with the highest consumption of omega-3 fats were 30 percent less likely to progress to the advanced form of the disease over a 12 year period.
Adding further support for omega-3 fats, another 2009 study showed that participants with diets high in omega-3 fats, along with vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, lutein and zeaxanthin, had a lower risk of AMD as well.
The best sources of omega-3 oil are fish oil and krill oil. Fish oil is the cheapest, but krill oil is the best.
You want to make sure you are getting plenty of lutein and zeaxanthin, two nurients found in eggs, spinach, and other leafy green vegetables. People who eat lots of vegetables and fruits have a 43 percent risk reduction of age-related macular degeneration.
Age related macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness for people over the age of 50. Worldwide 60 million people suffer from AMD, including close to 2 million in the United States alone. Another 7.3 million Americans are currently at significant risk of losing their vision from AMD.

I received my order immediately and have been very pleased with desiccated porcine capsules . I'm taking it along with other supplements and have lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks. I think it is a great addition to a healthy diet and exercise program to keep everything functioning correctly .
