Side effects of AREDS 2 PreserVision

Answer updated ยท Editorial policy

Quick answer

PreserVision AREDS2 contains several nutrients, so side effects and interactions must be checked across the whole formula. Review other vitamin and mineral products to avoid duplicating the daily amounts.

What the evidence can tell you

A product label describes ingredients and directions; it does not prove that the finished product has the same effects as an ingredient studied in a clinical trial. The record date above is not a claim that the label was checked today.
