We have a new eye supplement to recommend- Nordic Naturals Blue Light Eye Defense. This is a better replacement for Jarrow's discontinued Macula PF, a really unique supplement that we had highly recommended. Jarrow discontinued the eye supplement because they had a sourcing problem.
The thing that makes this eye supplement unique is that it has a high concentration of meso zeaxanthin, a rare antioxidant not often found in eye supplements. Meso zeaxanthin, specifically, is most concentrated in the center of the macula, where vision loss most often takes place and where damage is the most noticeable and detrimental to our vision from macular degeneration.
Meso zeaxanthin, since it is concentrated in the center of the macula in our eye, provides the most protection against UV and blue light and its degenerative damage to our vision.
Age related macular degeneration is the leading cause of vision loss for people over 50. Degeneration and damage to the macula (especially the center of the macula) is what causes that, and that's why meso zeaxanthin is uniquely so important (lutein is important too, but meso zeaxanthin is kind of the star).
Previously we were recommending Life Extension's Macula Factors as a replacement for Jarrow's Macula PF, which is still a fine supplement, though the potency of this new eye supplement by Nordic Naturals is a lot stronger, so that's what we're now recommending.
We will always recommend the best or most potent product available, regardless of brand. There are plenty of brands we like but we aren't loyal to one over another- what is most important to us is the ingredients and efficacy of specific supplements. That's why we don't have a store brand, so we aren't recommending something that makes us more money vs. truly the most effective product. We will always recommend the product that's the best regardless of brand or anything else. That's what's most important to us, the specific ingredients in different supplements and recommending products that really work.
