It seems unlikely that the lutein and zeaxanthin would cause gastrointestinal distress. It's more likely that you are reacting to the mineral components. It may help to take the supplement with meals.

I had 5 days of disabling migraine and vertigo. I’ll never take it again. It’s been many years since I’ve had such a bad trigger and missed a week of work due to my migraines. I suspect it’s because marigolds are a member of the daisy family and I react with headache to other forms like camomile and stevia. Never anything like this bad! I wish this on nobody.

I always took my med with food but I also experienced gastrointestinal issues while taking medication for ARMD. Since I have other medical issues, I made the difficult decision to stop taking the med.
