Be cautious if you find a formulation like you listed. The 80 mg of zinc is too much for a lot of people and will cause digestive issues. The upper limit for zinc consumption in a day is 40mg and can inhibit the absorption of copper. Copper depletion can cause many issues like changes in your red blood cell count, balance, memory, anemia, and heart issues. Here is one that has all the components and has been lab tested:

If you want to forgo the zinc and copper and stick with the lutein and zeaxanthin formulation this supplement has been lab tested:

I came here to say exactly the same thing. 80 mg. If zinc is FAR too much.

Here’s some info on zinc dosage and dangers of overdosing. https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements-zinc/art-20366112
