I've had pretty bad stomach upset stomach since starting Areds2. I also get migraines and the frequency has increased dramatically since starting Ared2. Which is what I was initially searching to find out, is there a connection to ingestion of this suppliment. Ared2 is the only change I've made to my meds and supplements in over a year.

Hi @dbgreene, Welcome to Connect. I never had any adverse side effects from Areds 2 but have read that it can cause the symptoms you describe. Here's a list of the symptoms on Drugs.com - https://www.drugs.com/sfx/preservision-areds-2-side-effects.html.

I'm not a doctor but if it were me, I would definitely stop taking the Areds 2 and possible discuss any interactions with other meds you take with your doctor or pharmacist.

Have you discussed it with your doctor?
