What is Macular Protective Pigment (MPP) and why is it so important?
MPP is a unique accumulation of three yellow cartenoids that are only found in the anterior portion of the central macula. Of the 600 available carenoids, only Lutein (L), Meso-Zeaxanthin (MZ), and Zeaxanthin (Z) are found in the macula. This yellow layer acts like a shield over the delicate retinal cells that give us sight. The MPP filters out and absorbs cell damaging, high-energy, blue wavelengths if light. In addition, L, MZ, and Z are among the stronger anti-oxidants (MZ being the strongest) in our bodies, which protect the central retina from free radicals that are plentiful in this highly active tissue. There is growing and compelling body of evidence, which concludes that an insufficient level of MPP substantially increases the risk for developing Macular Degeneration by as much as 40%.
Where does MPP come from?
Our bodies do not manufacture caretenoids. They must be consumed. L and Z are dietary carenoids. They are found in peppers, corn, green leafy vegetables and egg yolks, and can be measured in blood serum.MZ, however, the third component of MPP, is not a part of our diet and only traces can be detected in blood serum. Yet, MZ makes up over 1/3 of the MPP.
Why is MZ so special?
MZ is the most potent antioxidant of the three macular carenoids, and is only found in the center of the macular. Studies have shown that by oral supplementation of MZ, is is taken up and accumulated in the central macula.
