Vitalux Advanced Chewable AREDS2 Formula, Lutein Zeaxanthin and Bilberry with Zinc and Copper, Mixed Berry, 50 Chewable Tablets

Vitalux Advanced Chewable AREDS2 Formula Details

A mixed-berry chewable carrying the AREDS2 nutrient set — lutein, zeaxanthin, zinc, copper, vitamin C and vitamin E — with bilberry fruit extract. Two tablets daily with food.

One point is worth being straight about. The AREDS trials studied people who already had intermediate or advanced age-related macular degeneration, and found a reduction in the rate of progression — not prevention in healthy eyes, and not reversal of damage already done. The licensed claim reflects that: it helps delay the progression of AMD.

The chewable format solves a real adherence problem. AMD supplementation is a long-term commitment in a population already taking several other tablets, and the one that must be swallowed is the one most likely to be skipped.

The zinc here is 12.5mg per tablet, lower than the 40mg in the Vitalux caplet formulas. Across two tablets that lands at the level AREDS2 itself tested, and it makes this the gentler option for anyone concerned about high-dose zinc or already taking zinc elsewhere. Copper is still included to offset depletion.

Bilberry extract is a non-medicinal addition rather than a claimed active. Sweetened with dextrose, mannitol and sucralose, flavoured with strawberry, raspberry and blueberry. No gluten, artificial flavours or preservatives.

Chew with a meal containing oil or fat. This product has come into contact with milk and fish ingredients.

Vitalux is a Canadian eye-health range built around the AREDS and AREDS2 clinical formulations, sold largely through optometrists and pharmacies.

Who Vitalux Advanced Chewable AREDS2 Formula Is For

For people with diagnosed AMD who struggle to swallow caplets, and anyone wanting the AREDS2 nutrient set at a lower zinc level than the caplets deliver.

It is not a preventive for healthy eyes. It has come into contact with milk and fish — do not use with either allergy. Consult a practitioner before use if you have cancer, cardiovascular disease or diabetes. It contains dextrose and sucralose, which is worth knowing if you are managing blood glucose or avoid artificial sweeteners. Supplements do not replace regular eye examinations.
