The National Eye Institute's publication of the AREDS 2 results in May 2013 demonstrated the effectiveness of targeted high-dose nutritional supplementation in the slowing of age-related macular changes.
Specifically, the AREDS 2 research showed that:
- The carotenoids Lutein and Zeaxanthin were 18% more effective than the original AREDS formula which contained beta-carotene.
- The AREDS2 preferred zinc salt, zinc oxide, continued to be an important ingredient in the overall formula's success.
- AREDS2 found NO SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE between lower-dose zinc and high dose zinc in the formula's success.
- Lutein and Zeaxanthin absorption were improved when beta-carotene was removed.
VisiVite AREDS 2 Select Formula contains levels of Lutein and Zeaxanthin, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, Zinc and Copper, just as recommended by this latest research.
