Posted by sally1b2b @sally1b2b, Jul 15, 2018

My eye doctor put me on Areds2 .it is causing an upset stomach, has anyone else had this ?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Eye Conditions Support Group.

Yes, same thing here. A couple of years ago I found some in gummy form and they didn't upset my stomach. But, I have yet to find them these days. I've checked online but didn't see any gummies for areds2.

I've never seen gummies; you just chew the ones I have. They are made by Vitalux, and the price is reasonable. There are other makes, some of which are very expensive.

My RS said this was bogus, that the study was funded by the genetic testing people.

There are articles from different publications and not by the dna testing firm articdx. I have a video call into the Cleveland Clinic on the 10th with a AMD research specialist. To help me explore this topic. I queried the macular society and they also said the AREDS study was not one supplement fits all. I will include their response.

Areds2 aside, I am even more interested in the supplement advice and guidance offered by Dr Rozakis in the macularprogram.com. I will ask also whether this program gives any hope in preventing AMD progression. I already met with my obgyn and she said she had no problem with me taking dhea. Dr Rozakis’ Homing study was just a pilot study. He was at Duke in the early days of Lasik and was one of the pioneers of this procedure. I just don’t see the RS commenting that they see the patient’s eyes improving from following the program, the results are self reporting only it appears.

Yes- very sick. Try The old Areds (1( better. But just eat before. It’s a tiny bit of help actually with eyes….

My Ophthalmologist prescribed preservision. The expense is keeping me from getting this over the counter supplement. Is there an organization that would allow me to receive for free ?

I ordered my Areds2 eye supplement from Amazon. It is the brand “UpNoursh”, cost less, same formula and only states 1 per day! I have had no side effects. ❤️

This is a post about ordering supplements from Amazon. Many years ago when I was taking Preservision Areds2 ordered from Amazon I received an email and refund from Amazon . They informed all customers who ordered from this particular seller that investigators discovered that they were bogus and the packaging was fake. I have no idea what kind of “vitamins” I ingested for several months. I had no ill side effects and could find no information online about experiences from other buyers other than the fact about the misrepresentation.
Amazon tries its best…as with EBay…but scammers do get through. Today I only order straight from the supplier. I know many reputable companies do use Amazon as a third party seller. So kudos to Amazon in this respect.
I would just be wary of ordering anything from them that goes into or on your body. That’s my take.

I had bruising for no reason, my Dr. said it was all the vitamin E in the Areds. I talked to my eye Dr and he said I am not the only one!

Vitamin E was also the culprit for me. I had been taking 400 IU since 1979 for breast problems and that combined with a multi vitamin was way too much. Since stopping all other vitamins I am doing fine.
