Product Description
Product Description
Recommended Use: One capsule, twice daily with meals.
The National Eye Institute (NEI), part of the Federal government's National Institutes of Health published the results of the Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) in the fall of 2001. AREDS was a 10 year multi-center, nearly 4000 person, double-blind placebo clinical trial designed to research the effects of antioxidants and zinc on macular health. The AREDS results proved that patients taking a certain formula of antioxidant vitamins plus zinc were more likely to retain their macular health. AREDS recommended a specific formulation including levels and types of betacarotene, vitamin C, E, zinc, and copper. In addition to other nutrients the AREDS recommended formula is found in two daily Viteyes® AREDS Advanced capsules.
Recent studies such as the Lutein Antioxidant Supplementation Trial (LAST)* have suggested that 10mg of lutein daily, an antioxidant carotenoid found in fruits and green leafy vegetables as well as the macular region of the healthy retina, might have a significant effect on the health of the macula. Further trials such as the Carotenoids in Age-Related Eye Disease Study (CAREDS)** found a lower risk of deteriorated macular health.
In addition to the AREDS Formula Viteyes® AREDS Advanced also contains 10mg of FloraGLO® lutein,plus 3.5mg of Zeaxathin, 20 mg of Bilberry, 25 mg of Grape Seed Extract, and 25 mg of Alpha Lipoic Acid.
Zeaxanthin, like lutein, is not made by the body and high levels can only be obtained from supplements. Like lutein, zeaxanthin is found in the macula, however it is much more concentrated in the center part of the macula compared to lutein. Viteyes® AREDS Advanced contains OPTISHARPTM brand zeaxanthin from DSM (formerly Roche Vitamins).
To ensure and maintain the maximum level of purity and potency, Viteyes is formulated using only the highest quality ingredients. Unlike other AREDS formulas, Viteyes AREDS Advanced is made with Natural Vitamin E (d-Alpha Tocopheryl Succinate) instead of synthetic Vitamin E (dl-Alpha Tocopheryl Acetate). Viteyes AREDS Advanced comes in a 180 easy-to-swallow capsule (3 month supply) bottle.
Smokers: Please consult your eye care professional about the risks of smoking and taking Beta-Carotene.
This product contains NO yeast, wheat gluten, lactose, soy protein, milk/dairy, preservatives, flavor or coloring.
