Ocuvite 50+ Eye Vitamins, Lutein & Zeaxanthin Supplement, 90 Softgels Review

Ocuvite Adult 50+ is an eye vitamin and mineral supplement for adults 50 and older, from the eye care experts at Bausch + Lomb. The supplement is built around lutein, zeaxanthin and omega-3 fatty acids, which the page describes as nutrients that support eye health as people age. The product is a once-daily Minisgel, a softgel that the page says is 25 percent reduced in size compared with the original soft gel. The label directs adults to take one soft gel daily, in the morning, with a full glass of water during a meal. Each serving provides eight listed eye health nutrients: lutein, zeaxanthin, and omega-3s from highly purified fish oil, plus zinc, copper, and vitamins C, D, and E. The Supplement Facts list 150 mg of vitamin C, 30 mcg of vitamin D, 20 mg of vitamin E, 9 mg of zinc, 1 mg of copper, 250 mg of omega-3 fatty acids providing 160 mg EPA and 90 mg DHA, 5 mg of lutein from marigold flower extract, and 1 mg of zeaxanthin from marigold flower extract, which the page notes may be sourced from paprika fruit extract. Each Minisgel contains 5 calories. The page states the product is made with no FD&C dyes, and that it is manufactured and packaged in the USA with USA and imported ingredients. It also says the product delivers key nutrients that support healthy visual function and contains ingredients that are clinically proven to support eye health. The page notes that its claims have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration and that the product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. The question and answer section says Ocuvite Adult 50+ provides eye nutrients not found in most leading multivitamins and may be appropriate for adults already taking a daily multivitamin, while advising people to ask a doctor. It explains that the omega-3s come from refined anchovy and sardine fish oils and that the product provides 250 mg of combined EPA and DHA in one daily soft gel. It also advises consulting a physician about potential interactions and whether the product is right for the reader. The page says to keep out of reach of children and to store at room temperature.
