VisiVite® AREDS2 PLUS+ Gold's 99.8% Tolerability Means Better Eye Health for Seniors with Sensitive Stomachs

HUNTINGTON, N.Y., Oct. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- For the millions of American adults seeking to effectively support their eye health, there's now yet another reason to take VisiVite^® AREDS2 PLUS+ Gold: This research-backed macular degeneration formula has now been shown to exhibit 99.8% tolerability.

Dr. Paul Krawitz, President and Founder of VisiVite's parent company, Vitamin Science, Inc., is pleased to acknowledge the notable percentage: "The extraordinarily high 99.8% tolerability level means that our AREDS2 PLUS+ Gold macular health formula is easily digested and absorbed into the body," Krawitz explains. "High tolerability translates into better patient compliance, which is especially important for seniors who want to support their vision health, but may have stomach sensitivities that make it hard to take regular eye vitamins."

Approximately 40% of seniors tend to have age-related digestive concerns, with some issues potentially discouraging supplement intake. "Eye vitamins only work if they are taken consistently," continues Krawitz. "By featuring a science-backed formula that is comfortable to take, AREDS2 PLUS+ Gold macular health formula helps all populations, including seniors, to get the daily antioxidant nutrition they need for substantial macular health benefits."

Carefully calibrated in line with the National Eye Institute's AREDS2 study, the AREDS2 PLUS+ Gold complex supplies preferred antioxidant forms and potencies that have been linked to better absorption in clinical trials, along with lower zinc levels that have been tied to greater digestive comfort.

Among the antioxidant-rich natural compounds included in AREDS2 PLUS+ Gold are lutein, a key macular antioxidant, and zeaxanthin, a related extract sourced from paprika. VisiVite AREDS2 PLUS+ Gold further enhances the clinically proven AREDS formula with a complex that includes bilberry, grapeseed, L-glutathione, alpha lipoic acid and selenium, for even greater antioxidant support for macular health.

"Our AREDS2 PLUS+ Gold's high tolerability and superior digestive comfort may be partly attributed to the premium ingredients we use," says Krawitz. "Our lutein is presented as FloraGLO®, a natural and biocompatible form sourced from marigold blooms; while our zeaxanthin is OmniXan®, a wholefood paprika which is which is grown and extracted in the United States."

"We supply our advanced macular health formula in Vcaps® PLUS vegetarian capsules for fast dissolution and ready absorption," continues Krawitz. "We have found Vcaps® to be exceptionally well-tolerated in those with digestive sensitivities, including seniors... it's yet another step we take to ensure that our AREDS2 PLUS+ Gold formula is comfortable and easy to take, every single day."

Beyond digestive comfort, AREDS2 PLUS+ Gold's high bioavailability allows all of its nutritional components to reach their full potential within the body.  "Featuring the finest branded ingredients and the most easy-to-absorb delivery form, AREDS2 PLUS+ Gold is able to nourish the macula with protective antioxidants that support a lifetime of healthy vision," says Krawitz. "That's why we are proud to call VisiVite AREDS2 PLUS+ Gold the 'Ultimate Research-Backed Macular Health Supplement.'"
