Correction: Increased efficacy of dietary supplement containing wax ester-rich marine oil and xanthophylls in a mouse model of dry macular degeneration.

Our assessment

This is a correction notice for a previously published study, so it does not contain new research findings. The original study used a mouse model of dry macular degeneration to test a dietary supplement containing wax ester-rich marine oil and xanthophylls. Because this is a correction, data on human participants, study design, and duration are not available [Data not available].

How it works

Since this is a correction notice, no new findings on how the supplement works are provided. The original study (DOI: 10.3389/fphar.2022.1038730) would have explored how these ingredients might support eye health, but specific mechanisms are not described in this correction [Data not available].

Safety profile

No side effects or adverse event reports are provided in this correction notice. Data on safety from the original study or the FDA are not available [Data not available].

Our recommendation

Because this is a correction notice for animal research, it does not provide evidence for human use. No conclusions can be drawn about effectiveness or safety for people. Consult an eye care professional for guidance on supplements for macular degeneration [Data not available].
