Four minerals in specific forms: zinc oxide, copper gluconate, selenium chelate, chromium picolinate.
Retina ClearIn plain words
Zinc and copper were part of the AREDS formula, with copper added because high zinc can drain it. Selenium is a helper for antioxidant enzymes, and chromium is linked with how the body handles sugar.
Retina ClearWhat the evidence shows
AREDS used 80 mg of zinc, which is far above the general upper limit, under medical supervision. No trial supports selenium or chromium for vision.
In this capsule
Forms are named, and amounts are not, so you cannot check the zinc-to-copper balance.
Watch-outs: Upper limits for adults: zinc 40 mg, selenium 400 mcg, copper 10 mg a day from all sources. Add up your multivitamin and other products.
Common question
Why is copper paired with zinc?
Because high zinc intake can lower copper levels over time.
