Great question! When it comes to AREDS2 supplements, there are many different brands available over the counter, and your eye doctor is really the best person to recommend a specific brand that suits your needs.

Great question! When it comes to AREDS2 supplements, there are many different brands available over the counter, and your eye doctor is really the best person to recommend a specific brand that suits your needs.

That said, here's what the standard AREDS2 formula should contain:

- Vitamin C – 500 milligrams
- Vitamin E – 400 international units
- Copper – 2 milligrams
- Zinc – 80 milligrams
- Lutein – 10 milligrams
- Zeaxanthin – 2 milligrams So when checking labels, look for 10 milligrams of lutein as the standard dose in any AREDS2 product.

A few important things to keep in mind:

- AREDS2 is generally recommended for people with intermediate AMD in one or both eyes, or late AMD in one eye — not early-stage AMD
- These supplements contain higher doses than regular multivitamins, so they can affect digestion and may interact with other medications
- Always talk to your doctor before starting them to make sure they're right for you
