32Vegetarian No-Zinc, No-Copper AREDS 2 eye vitamin for genetically-targeted macular health. supported by research on complement factor testing. Brand name FloraGLO Lutein and OmniXan Zeaxanthin. Natural Vitamin E from plant oil. Vegetarian. Soy-Free, GMO-Free, Sugar-Free, Gluten-Free.
The National Eye Institute's publication of the AREDS2 results in May 2013 demonstrated the effectiveness of targeted high-dose nutritional supplementation in the slowing and prevention of age-related macular changes.
Specifically, the research showed that:
And yet, several studies suggest that in people with specific complement factor risk alleles, the mineral zinc may negate the benefits of other crucial macular-supportive antioxidants. This is a particularly common scenario in people aged 40-65 who do not yet have macular degeneration, but who have first degree relatives (father, mother, brother, sister) who have lost vision from the condition.
VisiVite AREDS2 No-Zinc White Formula contains Lutein, Zeaxanthin, Vitamin C, and Vitamin E, but not zinc or copper, as recommended by this research.

Great product recommended by my eye dr. - i need zero zinc in my eye vitamin & this fits the bill !! thank You !!
United Statesgreat results, passed all recent exams, so glad I found the supplements.
United StatesSo glad we found VisiVite. We have been taking these for years and love the autoship. We continue to get excellent reports from our eye doctor.
United StatesI've been using this AREDS 2 formula for quite some time and always get very positive eye exams. What more could I ask for? It's a testimony to the effectiveness of AREDS 2 White Formula.
United StatesMy DR. Said that my eyes are doing good since I have been taking your vitamins.
I had LASIK surgery. At the time, it was recommended that I take Moistur-Eyes to help dry eyes. Can AREDS 2 replace the Moistur-Eyes for that purpose?
VisiVite AREDS2 White Formula, without zinc, is a macular degeneration formula specifically designed for patients who have been found to have no CFH markers and two copies of ARMS2 markers. You are inquiring about dry eye, for which Dr. Krawitz's patented Dry Eye Relief capsules - which can be found on this site - have been found to be very successful in controlling symptoms of chronic dry eye.
Has all needed except copper, as cupric oxide, 2 mugs daily, suggested by my doc. What about copper? Thanks for no zinc.
Copper is in AREDS 2 formulas with zinc to prevent anemia caused by the zinc. With a zinc-free formula such as VisiVite AREDS 2 White, there is no need for copper. Copper has no benefit for macular degeneration.
if you are diagnosed with MACULAR DEGENERATION can you take this vitiamin?
Yes, you can. This is the AREDS 2 formula without zinc, which may be detrimental to people with specific genetic markers. Because there is no zinc, there is no risk of zinc-induced anemia, so there is no copper needed in this formula.
Do you have this in powder form?
If you have difficulty swallowing, you can open the two pieces of the vegetarian capsule and put the powder over food or into a beverage.
Is it possible to develop anemia due to the high zinc in AREDS2, even with the 2 mg of copper added?
Copper is provided in a 1:40 ratio with zinc, which prevents anemia that could be induced by zinc. There are many causes of anemia that can occur, however, that are unrelated to zinc.
