Product Details & Mandatory Information
Food for special medical purposes (balanced diet) for the dietary management of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Product Description
Lutamax 10 mg contains the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin as well as vitamin E.
Lutein and zeaxanthin are plant-based carotenoids that the human body cannot produce itself and must therefore obtain through food. They also occur naturally in the macula of the retina, the area of the eye that is of particular importance for central and sharp vision.
One capsule of Lutamax contains 10 mg of lutein.
What is the product intended for?
Lutamax 10 mg is intended as a balanced diet for the dietary management of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
The product is used for the targeted and continuous supply of lutein and zeaxanthin and is, according to the manufacturer, intended for nutritional support in cases of AMD.
Lutamax is to be used under medical supervision and does not replace ophthalmic treatment or regular ophthalmological check-ups.
What is age-related macular degeneration (AMD)?
Age-related macular degeneration is a disease of the macula, the central area of the retina. The macula is of particular importance for sharp central vision and therefore, among other things, for reading and recognizing details.
With AMD, central vision can be increasingly impaired. There are different forms and stages of the disease, including dry and wet AMD.
Properties of Lutein and Zeaxanthin
Lutein and zeaxanthin are carotenoids and components of the macular pigment. They are absorbed through food and occur in particularly high concentrations in the area of the macula.
Lutamax enables a defined daily intake of these carotenoids.
