Preservation AREDSs 2 Question
I am wondering if any of you taking AREDs (the preparation with 80 mg zinc) have noticed a drop in any of your blood cell counts? There are a few, very few, articles on the web that say it is happening for some patients. 80 milligrams of zinc is 10 the recommended dose for women. I am concerned because my platelets have been dropping since I started AREDS two years ago. My hematologist is monitoring this and I will ask him about it at my next appointment. Thanks in advance for sharing any insight you may have.
I've been on the AREDS2 formulation for yearly 10 years, with 80 mg of zinc. Personally, I haven't had any problems with platelets or other blood count issues. Wendy, Patient Leader. Thank you, Wendy. I think it is rare. I'll keep a closer eye on my platelet numbers from now on just in case. Best wishes, Wendy, Patient Leader.
Thank you, Wendy. It looks like it is pretty rare.
