What is better, Bilberry or turmeric

I'm taking AREDS now and would like to add one more weapon. If you folks had to decide between bilberry or turmeric which one would you pick and why.

  1. my preference is turmeric. I found more support from studies for turmeric. They are enrolling people with dry macular degeneration now for a clinical trial using turmeric. Regards, Sharon Moore patient leader

    1. what about Goji berries? I have heard they are excellent for the eyes.

      1. I meant Goji, and yes I bought a bag of dried berries and haven't tried them yet. My oral surgeon says he takes them everyday to ward off any potential eye diseases which is where I first heard of them. They have some impressive qualities for the eyes.

      2. it’s quite impressive when your doctor takes them himself. I hope you find them helpful. Regards, Sharon Moore patient leader

    2. Looks like turmeric won out. How many mg are you using.

      1. And also what brand are you using.

        1. I am taking Qunol 1500 mg twice daily. Regards, Sharon Moore patient leader
