Save your eyes: reduce the risk of macular degeneration

 

We all value our eyesight. New research shows us an easy way to help prevent macular degeneration (Merle BM, et.al., 2013). 963 participants were followed for 31 months and plasma fatty acids were measured from fasting blood samples, eye examinations were also performed. High plasma omega-3 fatty acids were found to be associated with a reduced risk for age-related macular degeneration. Just two capsules per day of the formula Better Fish Oil which contains high amounts of EPA, DHA the active ingredients of omega 3 fat will increase the omega 3 fatty acid levels in your blood. Make sure the form of Omega-3 fish oil you buy is the very best. Omega-3 fatty acids in a triglyceride form is easier to absorb and provides additional benefits compared with ethyl esters which are much more common since they are cheaper to produce.
