AREDS 2 and side effects

Optometrist prescribed Perservision Areds2. I tend to have dry eye as I have UC/Chrons. And am frequently dehydrated. Stable for years. I am very careful with my diet and after a month of taking these PA2 I was sick!! Nauseated, bloated, chronic burping, couldn’t eat, exhausted, weak & insomnia. I am absolutely pissed as I questioned the doctor about my digestive issues and he said “ no problem” BIG PROBLEM for me! Stopped dosage and feel great. There should be more studies about usage for people with digestive issues.

Yep. The fact that Preservision AREDS has multiple side effects, debilitating for some of us, seems to be a well-kept secret.

I had the same problems and found the Areds had way too much zinc. I now take just lutein capsules with no zinc. No GI or other side effects.
