Ocular Vitamins for Macular Health
TG Omega-3 Supplements for macular health offer a safe and effective way to increase your recommended Omega-3 daily intake without the fishy aftertaste of so many highly concentrated fish oil or other OTC Omega-3 vitamins. For promoting macular health, just 4 soft gels a day provide 2-3 grams of Omega-3s in the re-esterified triglyceride form. Omega-3s are one of the foundations for improving the health of your macula. Follow-up appointments may be recommended throughout the year to monitor your progress.
