The disease statistics are simply terrifying - about 17% of the population of developed countries of the world suffer from AMD. The age of the studied patients is from 43 years.

The composition of the dietary supplement “Okuvayt forte” includes two components necessary for humans: zeaxatin and lutein. These substances, which are the strongest antioxidants, are present in the macula of a healthy eye and protect retinoids. Scientists involved in the study of eye problems have noticed that a sufficiently high concentration of these macular pigments reduces the risk of AMD by 82%.

As for the question of whether Lutein Okuvayt has analogues, it is difficult to give an unequivocal answer. The composition is most similar to it, the drug "Doppelherzaktiv with lutein." Of the Russian counterparts, pharmacists offer Lutein Complex and Blueberry Fort with Lutein. Nevertheless, there is ongoing debate about their usefulness and effectiveness. All of them, as a rule, boil down to the fact that some patients get the desired effect from the use of drugs (and this applies to each of the drugs), while others do not observe any special changes. But it’s useless to argue here - unfortunately, no remedy has yet been found that could cure everyone in need. The effectiveness of the drugs is most likely due not to their cost and popularity of the manufacturer’s brand, but to the individual characteristics of the patient’s body and the lifestyle that he prefers to lead.
