Extended Information:

Q. This product is based on the AREDS II study. What is AREDS? AREDS is a large scale human study which was conducted to determine the optimal amounts of antioxidants to support eye health as people age.

Q. Can I take it alongside a multivitamin? Yes, a daily multivitamin can be beneficial to fill dietary gaps, and ensure an adequate intake of key vitamins and minerals to support everyday health.

Q. Is there anything else I should take alongside this product to support eye health? Yes, the new AREDs II study also included omega-3 as an antioxidant to support eye health and reduce free radical damage. Consider adding Clinicians Krill Oil 500 or Clinicians Omega-3 Fish Oil on a daily basis Heredity and aging appear to represent the primary risk factors in eye health; however, long term exposure to blue light and ultraviolet light may also contribute.

Diet alone cannot provide the nutrients at levels to support optimum eye health, however a diet rich in coloured fruit and vegetables high in antioxidants does help. A general multivitamin supports general health but does not provide the optimal levels of antioxidants and zinc. In the eye, the macula is the central portion of the retina that is responsible for transforming light entering the eye into electrical neural impulses. The macula mediates central vision as well as the ability to see colour and fine detail. Over time, wear and tear on the macula can result in improper processing of images. Consider supplementing Clinicians VisionCare with Lutein with Clinicians Krill Oil 500 or Omega-3 Fish Oil to support cell membrane health and help protect from free radical damage. Higher level of supplementation may be required for older people who may have reduced digestive function.
