[QUOTE="sammmy, post: 230041, member: 38594"] One should not make projections from old mice studies when evaluating supplements. In a human intervention study, Omega-3 failed to reduce the progression to late age-related macular degeneration (AMD) (hazard ratio close to 1 i.e. no effect), while Lutein/zeaxanthin had a moderate reduction of the risk (hazard ratio 0.91). Supplementing with beta-carotene (believed to also improve eye health) lead to higher rates of lung cancer in smokers: [URL='https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamaophthalmology/article-abstract/2792855?guestAccessKey=a7455007-88b5-459a-9eea-20729ba783dd&utm_source=For_The_Media&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=ftm_links&utm_content=tfl&utm_term=060222']Long-term Outcomes of Adding Lutein/Zeaxanthin and ω-3 Fatty Acids to the AREDS Supplements on Age-Related Macular Degeneration ProgressionAREDS2 Report 28[/URL] That is why, if you search for the current AREDS 2 supplement for eyes, they do NOT contain omega-3.
