AREDS

Someone on here said they couldn't take AREDS because it gave them heartburn. It does me, too. so I switched to New Nordic Blue Berry Eyebright or Blue Berry Strong. Small capulets easy to swallow...and NO heartburn!! Available on Amazon.

  1. The ones I'm taking (AREDS 2 PLUS) have saffron, lutein, zeaxanthin, astaxanthin, fish oil dha, and epa. I always get horrible heartburn after taking these. On the back of the box of the Blue Berry Eye Bright it says the following:
    EYE HEALTH SUPPORT - 2 daily tablets help support and maintain healthy vision and normal eyesight
    BENEFITS - Supports normally functioning eye function and vision while helping increase levels of macular pigmentation in your eyes to maintain normal eyesight
    NATURALLY SOURCED - Natural lutein found in dark green leafy vegetables, bilberry (European blueberry) and marigold extract
    PURE INGREDIENTS - Vegan, non-GMO, formulated without preservatives, artificial flavors, or colors, and free from salt, gluten, yeast, soy and dairy
    SCANDINAVIAN MADE - Taking the best of traditional medicine and biological science, we source high quality, pure ingredients to create supplements that work with your body's natural systems for healthier, more sustainable results
    These capulets don't really have the AREDs formula but until I find something that doesn't cause me heartburn, I'll keep taking these.
