AREDS 2 and side effects

I’ve tried taking Preservision, Macuhealth and Macuhealth plus for the last year. Each one has caused extreme gas, diarrhea, upset stomach and bloating. I take the meds after I eat. I tried building up to a full dose but had the same results. I’m about to give up.

I have been taking Areds 2 twice daily and have no intestinal problems, but I take with Metamucil. Occasionally I just take with water and usually have nausea. Maybe it would work for you ?

I have taken all three. I feel like the MaccuHealth Plus is causing a little less gas and bloating but all three cause side effects. I do believe they help slow down my dry AMD, so I am sticking with it. If I am going out, I try and wait to take it. I split the dose and take the partial doses with meals.
