Vision Essentials
Dr. Whitaker
Overview
Vision Essentials is formulated to support eye health with a variety of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. While individual ingredients have shown promise in clinical studies for retinal health and visual acuity, this specific combination is less clear due to the proprietary blend and lack of long-term studies on the overall formula. Key ingredients like lutein and zeaxanthin are included at research-backed doses, but the efficacy of the overall formula is uncertain.
The Good
Contains Lutein at a clinically relevant dose of 20mg
Includes Zeaxanthin, an important carotenoid for eye health
Includes a wide variety of antioxidants
The Bad
High doses of zinc and copper may cause gastrointestinal issues
Proprietary blend makes individual ingredient dosing unclear
Potential interactions with certain medications

Best For: Individuals looking to support long-term eye health, those concerned about age-related vision decline, people with high screen time.
Skip If: You are pregnant, nursing, taking blood thinners, or have a pre-existing medical condition without consulting a healthcare professional.
