Formulation Notes

Co-Defense formula is a multivitamin specifically designed for people who take macular degeneration supplements that are based upon the National Eye Institute's age related eye disease study. To prevent taking unneeded ingredients already present in these eye supplements, Co-Defense contains no vitamin A, C, E, zinc or copper.

Compared with other popular daily multivitamins, co-defense contains more of the water-soluble B-vitamins and lycopene that are known to be of grater importance as we age.
