Formulation Notes

Lactose free

Systane ICaps Eye Vitamin & Mineral Supplement AREDS formula contains the same antioxidant and zinc levels used in the National Eye Institute's Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS). AREDS is a ground-breaking, 10-year clinical study that proved the benefit of these high-potency antioxidant and zinc ingredients in certain patients at risk. It is important to note that the high-potency Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Zinc ingredient levels found in Systane ICaps Eye Vitamin AREDS formula generally can be obtained only by supplementation and not through diet alone.
