Determining the ideal dosage of Macu-LZ is a nuanced process that hinges on the specific health benefits sought. The recommended dose ranges from 12 to 24 mg, ensuring optimal efficacy. This translates to 10 mg lutein and 2 mg zeaxanthin isomers or 20 mg lutein and 4 mg zeaxanthin isomers, depending on the desired outcome. Macu-LZ stands out not only for its health benefits but also for its formulation strengths. With a remarkable stability extending up to three years, Macu-LZ guarantees longevity without compromising its effectiveness. Its superior performance under tableting pressure ensures consistent quality, while the option of oil and beadlet forms caters to diverse applications, making Macu-LZ a versatile and reliable choice for various nutritional formulations.
