Should I take more than the 3 and 4 mgs of zeaxanthin you include in Oculair and Macula Complete?
Dennis Geirhart, PhD, a much admired research scientist and the zeaxanthin patent holder, includes 5 to 20 mg per day in his EyePromise and EyePromise Complete products. It’s important to remember that zeaxanthin, unlike beta-carotene, has virtually no ability to convert to Vitamin A retinol, so the eye or macula specific formulations that don’t include beta-carotene or Vitamin A, as retinyl palmitate, leave the patient consumer with no supplemental vitamin A, which is particularly necessary for night vision in older people. We recommend that you and your doctor make the decision regarding zeaxanthin supplementation over the 3 and 4 mgs included in Biosyntrx Oculair and Macula Complete.
