Eye Vitamins

A ground-breaking major study involving macular degeneration vitamins was sponsored by the National Eye Institute, one of the Federal government’s National Institutes of Health, and conducted at 11 major medical center research facilities around the country - The Age Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS). Since that time, other studies, including the Lutein Antioxidant Supplementation Trial (LAST) have demonstrated visual improvement in patients taking specific high-dose supplements that include Lutein and Zeaxanthin.

Patients often confuse taking low-dose multiple vitamins, such as Centrum Silver or One-A-Day, as being beneficial in treating their macular degeneration.

The levels of supplement are much higher in VisiVite Formulas than in other vitamin supplements. Additionally, VisiVite contains only those substances that were scientifically proven to promote retinal health.

The National Eye Institute has announced their newest and most advanced Macular Degeneration Formula Study, called "AREDS 2." And VisiVite is the FIRST AND ONLY vitamin manufacturer to offer this unique supplement for the prevention of disease progression and improvement of vision. Contains high dose Lutein, Zeaxanthin, Omega-3 Fatty Acids and other critical antioxidants. Take two soft gels twice daily. Our best eye formula ever! Safe for smokers too.

Unlike the AREDS Formula, VisiVite i-Defense Formulas have ingredients shown to improve vision and the retinal appearance in patients with macular degeneration.*

Both Ocuvite Preservision and VisiVite Original Formula are based exactly upon the National Eye Institute's Age Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS).

However, VisiVite i-Defense Gold Formula represents advances in visual health undertaken by several studies since AREDS, and contains substances that may improve vision in some people who have macular degeneration.

Detailed information is provided for each of the components in VisiVite Macular Degeneration Formulas.
