United StatesI started buying Areds Visivite because it is a gluten free alternative for the vitamins I need for we eye issues. Fast, easy ordering too.
United StatesEasy to take capsules. Convenient ordering and delivery. Very happy with this product!!
United StatesThe condition of my retinas actually improved. Original problem was due to retinal damage to both eyes. This product is recommended by the doctors at Marion Eye Center.
United StatesAnyone who has macular degeneration knows about AREDS2, and VisiVite has been delivering it to my door for many years. I am deeply grateful that AREDS 2 is one item I don’t have to remember to add to my shopping list. Thank you, VisiVite! You have never let me down.
United StatesYou really don't know. I only pray this helps with macular degeneration.
How many do you take per day?
The serving size is 2 vegetarian capsules, taken together or separately, with food.
How many in one bottle?
Sam, if you click the Supplements Facts image, you will see that there are 60 capsules, or a one month supply, in each bottle of VisiVite AREDS2 Select Formula.
Can I open the capsules and sprinkle the contents on a piece of bread, etc. I cannot swallow large pills and I need to find an Areds 2 foumula that I can swallow. Thanks.
Yes you can. In fact, one of the many benefits of VisiVite Eye Vitamins is that unlike the hardgels, softgels and tablets of other macular degeneration vitamin manufacturers, the vegetarian capsules can be opened and the powder placed in food or drink for people who have difficulty swallowing.
I take AREDS2 Select Formula. Can these cause nausea?
Although 99.6% of people tolerate VisiVite AREDS 2 Select without any side effects, people with sensitive stomachs can find that taking ANY supplement is difficult for them. If you are struggling, try opening the capsule and putting the powder directly into food or drink. That is usually effective for the few people in alleviating symptoms.
I\'m confused as to how many capsules of the AREDS 2 Select are to be taken each day. Is it one or two?
Take one capsule twice daily, for a total of two capsules daily. The Supplement Facts show the amounts per day, not per capsule.
You recommend AREDS for dry AMD, what about wet AMD and why is not indicated high zinc intake?
The AREDS 2 research showed no significant difference between 25 mg and 80 mg of daily zinc. Although some research shows that frequency of injections is reduced with AREDS formulas, the strongest results are with dry AMD, which can be of benefit in protecting the uninvolved (dry AMD) eye.
How many capsules are in each bottle of VisiVite AREDS 2 Select?
As shown on the page, there are 60 vegetarian capsules in each bottle, which is a one month supply.
