AREDS 2 Eye Vitamin Private Label | 180tabs (3mth)

Why use private label AREDS2? 

1] Typical savings over branded eye vitamins is ~$100** annually 
2] High quality
3] Canadian made

If your eye care professional has recommended that you take an approved AREDS 2 vitamin for macular degeneration (e.g. Preservision, Ocuvite, ICAPS, Vitalux) look closely at the label.  Most of these brands require 2-4 tablets per day.  I have found clinically that adherence to the recommended dose is mediocre at best often due to cost.  We have mostly switched our mild-to-moderate AMD patients to this effective, two-a-day, less expensive private label.

This Canadian-made formulation of the AREDS 2 eye vitamin only requires two softgel per day.  When you take into account the #/day of tablets and compare the pricing to the large brands, Essentials Macula 2 ® AREDS 2 Plus is a great choice!

To ZINC or not to ZINC....  That is the question

There is ongoing debate about whether the very high levels of zinc in the original AREDS 2 studies are beneficial to all.  Our practice position is to recommend the RDA (recommended daily allowance) for zinc.  The essentials formulation has 10mg of zinc (which is RDA).  For no zinc ocular vitamins see Vision Essence.

APPROVED BY HEALTH CANADA AS A DAILY MULTI-VITAMIN. PRESERVATIVE AND GLUTEN-FREE.

If you take Vitalux, Icaps, Ocuvite, Preservision - Consider this excellent less expensive, made-in-Canada alternative.
