eyetamins AREDS 2 Eye Vitamin- 60 Capsules – Ophthalmologist-Formulated - 2X Lutein and Zeaxanthin of Leading Brands - Plant-Based, Natural - Vegan and Non-GMO Formula (60 Count) (AREDS 2)

This was false advertising. Ingredients of the jar that came to me were not the same as the one I purchased. Misleading.

I ordered this to try as my other eye supplements ran out. It has the same amounts of Lutein, Zeaxanthin, and Vitamin C as the predomininate B&L AREDS 2 product. The Vitamin E and Zinc components vary as they do in all of the off-brands, and the Copper component is not even listed on the label. There are also other additions that may or may not be effective as I was unable to find them in similar supplements. These include: Coffee Fruit Extract, Bilberry, Saffron, and AstraXanthin.While the Vitamin E count is much increased, it is under the NIH maximum threshold of 1000mg/day... and it is above the 180mg daily dose for men that possibly increases the chances for prostate cancer. The Zinc content is lower than the B&L version at 25mg, which is below the NIH maximum threshold of 40mg/day. The typical Copper component missing from the supplement may be due to the lower Zinc content which tends to block copper absorption in the diet.If you are in need of an eye supplement, this one looks good in content, but there is no list of product nor ingredient origins. The cost of the product for a 30day supply is also much higher at 35USD than the major name brand alternatives at about 24USD per 120day supply. So far, I seel no sight improvement nor degredation from the name brand version... but I do have to take an extra pill (2 vs 1). I am rating this three stars, dropped from 4stars for this uncertainty of content origin.... and the much higher cost. As always, your mileage and preferences may vary...

Review of: **Eyetamins Vitaleyes Eye and Brain Health Supplement - 60 Capsules - Ultra-Strength NeuroFactor Promotes Memory and Learning - Bilberry, Lutein, Zinc, and Zeaxanthin - Vegan and Non-GMO Formula**This eye/brain supplement from Eyetamins has a good combination of ingredients, both for brain function and vision. I was a little surprised that even with two pills a day, the total amount of lutein is only 10mg - much lower than most of the vision supplements I have been trying in recent years. They did include vitamins C and E, which I think is odd since most people taking a supplement like this are likely already getting plenty of these through diet and/or other supplements.My one other negative - and the main reason for my bumping from 5 stars to 4, is the price - over $1 a day. If you really want a combination vision/nrain supplement, this is a pretty good option. If vision is your primary concern, I think other options focused on the eyes might be a better choice.

Like many who shop for eye vitamins, I look for natural / potency / price.This combination seems to be a worth while product and competitive in price.> Vitamin C 500 mg = natural - ascorbic acid> Vitamin E 294 mg = natural - d-alpha tocopheryl acetate> Zinc 25 mg = the zinc salt of gluconic acid which is very soluble in water,> Coffee fruit extract 100mg = studies have shown that the chlorogenic acid (CLA) =a main ingredient in raw coffee may protect against deteriorating eyesightand possible blindness from retinal degeneration due to glaucoma / aging / or diabetes.> Bilberry 25 mg = nutritionally supports night vision.The active constituents in Bilberries include anthocyanins which are strong antioxidantsthat offer benefits to capillaries.>>> Saffron bulb extract - has remarkable effect on the genes which regulate vision cells.and may also slow (and some research has shown) to reversethe course of some age related eye diseases.> Lutein - 10 mg = antioxidant that fights off free radicals and boost sharpness of vision.> Zeaxanthin - 2 mg = helps build the yellow color pigment shield to protect the eyes from the sun.> Astaxanthin - 1 mg = a blood-red pigment from freshwater micro-algaeHaematococcus pluvialis - appears to be a color additiveMethylcellulose capsules2 daily with full glass of water = 30 days

I never really thought that I’d need to take supplements for my eyes, but these have made me think differently. I initially chose them because they’re vegan and supposedly helpful for mental clarity....and I can always use that. Since I’ve been taking these, twice a day with a lot of water, I’ve noticed that my eyes feel less tired and worn out as the day goes on. I spend a lot of time driving during my work day and I can feel that my eyes are less fatigued and I strain a lot less. I consider this a massive win since I wasn’t really expecting it to work. The pills go down really easily and I haven’t had any side effects.
