Zinc in eye-vitamins

Avoid high-dose zinc for aging eyes if you've not undertaken genetic testing for zinc response.


Common drug store "eye vitamins" contain mega-doses of zinc, potentially accelerating the aging process for those with a common genetic profile- about 1 in 6 individuals. Your eye care professional will ensure you receive the right dietary supplement to help maintain eye health.*

PROFESSIONALS' FAQ

Answers to frequently asked questions

  • Why use Early Defense vs drug store Vitamins

    The Nation Eye Institute (NEI) and American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) Preferred Practice Pattern Guidelines advise against use of the common drug-store formulations in certain circumstances. 


    AREDS Report #8 indicated potential harm from zinc use. (Chew, 2001)


    Some individuals will experience harmful effects from taking mega-dose zinc formulations. Only the VitaRisk genetic test can identify people who may wish to avoid taking mega-dose zinc supplements. (Kaufman, 2020) (Vavvas, 2018) (Seddon, 2016) (Awh, 2014, 2013)


    Help support eye health with the macular carotenoids: lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin.

  • Who should avoid drug store vitamins with mega-dose zinc?

    • People with healthy eyes should not take drug store eye vitamins with a mega-dose of zinc. Your doctor can determine the best ocular nutrition product to help maintain healthy eyes.

  • Who should take a Zinc-Free or Low-Zinc formula?

    For those with aging eyes, a simple cheek swab genetic test is the only way to avoid the potential harm from consuming commonly-advised mega-dose zinc supplements (Kaufman, 2020) (Vavvas, 2018) (Seddon, 2016) (Awh, 2014, 2013)

  • Why is meso-zeaxanthin important in the Vision Elements formulas?

    Meso-zeaxanthin is the central carotenoid making up the macular pigment. While lutein and zeaxanthin can be obtained through a healthy diet, meso-zeaxanthin is scarce in commonly-consumed foods. Vision Elements Early Defense is a good source for this important carotenoid (Ma, 2016)
