Huntington, NY (PRWEB) August 28, 2013 -- VisiVite® AREDS2 Plus+ Gold is a breakthrough macular health formula based on the National Eye Institute’s recent AREDS2 study published on May 5, 2013. Among other discoveries, AREDS2 found lutein and zeaxanthin were 18% more effective than the original AREDS formula, which had beta-carotene; lutein and zeaxanthin absorption improved without beta-carotene; and AREDS2’s preferred zinc salt, zinc oxide, continued to drive the formula’s success.

VisiVite’s new AREDS2 Plus+ Gold Formula matches the nutrients and potencies used in the AREDS2 study, but also adds the following key upgrades and enhancements:

  • 50% more natural Lutein, as FloraGLO®: Macular antioxidant sourced from marigold flowers
  • 138% more natural Zeaxanthin, as OmniXan®: Prized broad-spectrum antioxidants from Paprika
  • Antioxidant Complex: Bilberry, Grapeseed, L-Glutathione and Alpha Lipoic Acid
  • Vcaps® Plus Capsules: Premium vegetarian capsules for easy absorption and peak bioavailability
  • Natural Vitamin E: 100% D-alpha tocopherol from natural plant oil, for double the bioavailability compared to artificial Vitamin E.
  • Selenium: Prostate protection for men taking Vitamin E
  • No Synthetic Ingredients, Artificial Colors, Sugars or Fillers: Eliminates tolerability issues
