Many claims are made regarding the beneficial effects of supplements on vision and eye health, but few research studies back them up. Age-Related Eye Disease Studies (AREDS and AREDS2) are an exception. These are large studies conducted by the National Eye Institute. The studies focused on age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts, two conditions that impact millions of people worldwide. AREDS2 Supplements AREDS and AREDS2 looked at the effects of high doses of several antioxidants taken together for several years. The final recommendations from AREDS2 were : - Vitamin C 500 mg - Vitamin E 400 IU - Lutein 10 mg - Zeaxan...

The eye is a vital sensory organ that requires special attention to maintain a healthy and productive lifestyle. Numerous studies have shown that lutein and zeaxanthin; the two major carotenoids in the human macula and retina, are important components for eye health.  Lutein and Zeaxanthin Benefits The importance of lutein and zeaxanthin in human health, particularly eye health, is well established by epidemiological, clinical, and interventional studies. They constitute the main pigments found in the yellow spot of the human retina which protect the macula from damage by blue light, improve visual acuity and scavenge harmful reactive oxygen species. They have also been linked with reduced risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and cataracts. ( Source ) In addition to eye health, one study  (RCT 2018) also found that lutein and zeaxanthin supplementation appears to benefit neurocognitive f...

National Eye Institute - “Millions of older Americans take nutritional supplements to protect their sight without clear guidance regarding benefit and risk,” said NEI director Paul A. Sieving, M.D., Ph.D. “This study clarifies the role of supplements in helping prevent advanced AMD, an incurable, common, and devastating disease that robs older people of their sight and independence.” The Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS), which was led by NIH’s National Eye Institute and concluded in 2001, established that daily high doses of vitamins C and E, beta-carotene, and the minerals zinc and copper—called the AREDS formulation—can help slow the progression to advanced AMD. The American Academy of Ophthalmology now recommends use of the AREDS formulation to reduce the risk of advanced AMD. However, beta-carotene use has been linked to a heightened risk of lung cancer in smokers. And there have been concerns that the high zinc dose in AREDS could cause minor side effects, such as stomac...
