Description
PreserVision Eye Vitamin AREDS 2 Formula builds on the original, clinically proven PreserVision AREDS
formula, with lutein and zeaxanthin replacing beta-carotene based on the NEI’s recent AREDS2 Age Related
Eye Disease Study.
PreserVision AREDS 2 contains the exact nutrient formula recommended by the National Eye Institute to help
reduce the risk of progression of moderate to advanced Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD).*
The Study
Completed in 2013, AREDS2 was a 5-year clinical study2
including thousands of patients, conducted by the
National Eye Institute of the National Institutes of Health. The AREDS3 and AREDS2 studies showed that taking
a supplement with a precise formula of select vitamins and minerals can help reduce the risk of progression in
people with moderate to advanced AMD. The latest study replaced beta-carotene with lutein and zeaxanthin.
PreserVision AREDS 2 formula contains the updated formula now recommended by the National Eye Institute.
Can a daily multivitamin alone provide the same vision benefits as an AREDS 2 formulation? No. The vitamins
and minerals tested in the AREDS and AREDS2 trials were provided in much higher doses than what is found in
multivitamins. Also, it is important to remember that most of the trial participants took multivitamins. Taking
an AREDS formulation clearly provided a benefit over and above multivitamins.4
What is AMD?
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a disease associated with aging that gradually destroys sharp,
central vision. Central vision is needed for seeing objects clearly and for common daily tasks such as reading
and driving. AMD affects the macula, the part of the eye that allows you to see fine detail.
In some cases, AMD advances so slowly that people notice little change in their vision. In others, the disease
progresses faster and may lead to a loss of vision in both eyes.5 AMD is a leading cause of blindness in
Americans 65 years of age and older.6
Beta-carotene free, important for smokers and ex-smokers.
