All PreserVision® eye vitamin & mineral supplements are currently manufactured and packaged in the USA with USA and imported ingredients.
It would be very hard to get the levels of antioxidants and zinc in PreserVision from your diet alone, even if you eat plenty of green leafy vegetables. As we age, we become less able to absorb certain nutrients from the foods we eat.
What the AREDS2 trial showed:
People who got the least amount of lutein and zeaxanthin in their diets benefited the most from high dose supplementation with these nutrients.
Some of the important nutrients in PreserVision, like lutein, zeaxanthin, and vitamin E, are fat-soluble. That means your body absorbs them more effectively when you take them with a meal that includes a little good fat — for example, vegetable oil.
If your stomach is sensitive to any of the nutrients in PreserVision, you may also find that taking your supplement with a meal lessens any sensitivity.
The Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) and AREDS2 are pivotal clinical trials sponsored by the National Eye Institute (NEI).
