Preservision AREDS 2 Formula MiniGels with OCUSorb™ is a clinically proven eye vitamin supplement that helps reduce the risk of progression of moderate to advanced age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It contains a specific combination of vitamins and minerals recommended by the National Eye Institute (NEI), including: Vitamin C Vitamin E Beta-carotene (free) Lutein Zeaxanthin Zinc Copper The OCUSorb™ formulation in Preservision AREDS 2 Formula MiniGels has been clinically shown to provide superior absorption of lutein and zeaxanthin into the body, compared to the original Preservision AREDS 2 Formula MiniGels. This is important because lutein and zeaxanthin are two antioxidants that are naturally found in the macula, the central part of the retina that is responsible for sharp central vision. Preservision AREDS 2 Formula MiniGels are easy to swallow, mini soft gels that can be taken with food. They are also beta-carotene free, making them a good choice for smokers and former smokers. If you are at risk of developing AMD, or if you already have moderate to advanced AMD, Preservision AREDS 2 Formula MiniGels may be a good choice for you. Talk to your doctor about whether this supplement is right for you.
