What is the AREDS 2 Formula?

The AREDS2 Formula is a specific combination of high-dose vitamins and minerals that has been clinically proven to help reduce the risk of moderate to advanced Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD).

The key ingredients include:

Lutein
Zeaxanthin
Vitamin C
Vitamin E

Why is there 80 mg of zinc in the PreserVision® AREDS 2 Formula?

During the first AREDS trial, researchers tested several vitamin and mineral combinations.

What the study found (5 years):

Participants who took antioxidants plus 80 mg of zinc had the lowest risk of progressing to advanced AMD.

Recommendation:

Based on these findings, the National Eye Institute (NEI) recommends a vitamin formula containing 80 mg of zinc.

When taking vitamin and mineral supplements, constipation, diarrhea, or upset stomach may occur.

Important Note (Medications and Supplements)

Many older adults take prescription medications, over-the-counter drugs, dietary supplements, and herbal medicines.

Interaction Guidance

Nutritional supplements can interact with certain medications.
Individuals considering an AREDS formulation should discuss it with their healthcare professional.

What is the difference between PreserVision® AREDS and PreserVision® AREDS 2 Formula?

Both PreserVision® AREDS and AREDS2 are vitamin and mineral supplements.
AREDS2 replaced beta-carotene with lutein and zeaxanthin.
The original AREDS Formula contained beta-carotene, which is not appropriate for current or former smokers.
AREDS2 is recommended for patients with moderate to advanced AMD.
The updated formula maintains clinically proven nutrients while reducing beta-carotene-related concerns.
Clinical studies support replacing beta-carotene with 10 mg lutein and 2 mg zeaxanthin.

Why do PreserVision® AREDS3 Eye Vitamins contain less zinc than PreserVision® AREDS2 Eye Vitamins?

PreserVision® AREDS3 Eye Vitamins contain 25 mg of zinc per daily serving, compared with 80 mg per day in PreserVision® AREDS2.

The lower zinc amount was selected based on findings from the AREDS2 study, which found no statistically significant difference in outcomes between higher and lower zinc doses.

The updated formula reflects the latest AREDS2 research and feedback from eye care professionals while continuing to provide the key AREDS2 nutrients in a science-backed formulation.
