Members shared a variety of retailers where they purchase AREDS supplements, with Amazon, Walmart, and Costco emerging as the most popular choices, often highlighting generic options like Equate brand at Walmart for being significantly cheaper while containing the same vitamins. Several members described their experiences with specialized programs through the Macular Foundation, which includes epigenetic bloodwork to ensure the body is functioning optimally to support eye health, leading some to switch from over-the-counter AREDS2 to personalized vitamins from companies like International Nutrition Inc. A recurring theme was the discovery of underlying health issues, particularly thyroid problems, through these advanced tests, with members expressing gratitude for catching conditions that standard eye care hadn't identified and emphasizing that overall body health is crucial for the supplements to work effectively.

I joined the Macular Foundation, and they do bloodwork on me to help thm see that my body is functioning at the highest level to help my eyes. It is called Epigenetics. They advise me to use the Nutrition vitamins because they have no fillers. they tell you what your eyes need. With the bloodwork they did they found i needed attention with something not working properly in my body. They told me to go to my doctor and let them know of their findings. Well, my doctor looking into it and i now am having it addressed. That is not the reason i have AMD but for the vitamins to work best i needed to fix that condition. Wishing you well with handling this condition

I took the best ones which was Perser vision Areds 2 for over 30 years As i am aging i decided to join The Macular Foundation. They did bloodwork on all my Genes . It is called Epi Genics because if you have AMD they need to know that your body is working properly. They found a Gene that was not working in me and I will be forever grateful to them. After that bloodwork They connect you to a vitamin Company that have no fillers in their products. It is called International Nutriton Inc. That is where i get all my AMD Vitamins

I took those over the counter Areds 2 for many years. Didn't stop me from getting full blown AMD I belong to the Macular Foundation and they had me do special bloodwork. They feel your body has to be in good condition to be able to help your eyes.
After result's they told me to contact my doctor and check out my Thyroid. They were right. I do need sugary
I take very different vitamins now that have no fillers in them to help me keep my eyesight strong as possible. I feel i wasted a lot lof years listening to my eye doctor. Wishing you the best'

I don't buy
areds. My nutrutionist makes a combination of natural plants that I make into a "beverage" that I drink three times a day. I has all the vitamins that Areds has but they are sources from nature.
