Eye Health Adult 50+
Well At Walgreens
Overview
This eye health supplement contains several well-researched ingredients for ocular support, including Lutein, Zeaxanthin, Omega-3s (DHA), and antioxidant vitamins and minerals. While the ingredients are beneficial, some key components, notably Lutein and Zeaxanthin, are dosed below the levels often shown to be most effective in clinical studies for significant macular pigment optical density (MPOD) increase. The product's overall effectiveness is moderate due to these dosing considerations.
The Good
Broad spectrum of eye-supporting nutrients including Lutein, Zeaxanthin, Omega-3, and antioxidants.
Lutein and Zeaxanthin are specifically included for macular health and blue light filtration.
Omega-3 fatty acids support retinal structural integrity and overall eye function.
The Bad
Sub-optimal dosing of Lutein (5mg) and Zeaxanthin (1mg) compared to doses proven most effective in clinical studies (often 10mg Lutein, 2mg Zeaxanthin).
Exact forms of Zinc and Copper are listed as Zinc Oxide and Copper Gluconate respectively, with Zinc Oxide having lower bioavailability than other forms.
Contains artificial colorings (FD&C Red No. 40 Lake, FD&C Blue No. 1 Lake).
Is it for you?
Best For: Adults over 50, individuals looking to support macular health, those concerned about age-related eye conditions
Skip If: You are pregnant or nursing, or have known allergies to common supplement ingredients; consult a healthcare provider if on medication.
