Can the AREDS 2 formulation for AMD be harmful to some patients?
JAN 29, 2019
Answer:
The AREDS 2 study carefully looked for evidence of any harmful side effects from these supplements. While the study did suggest that the substitution of lutein and zeaxathin for beta-carotene reduced the risk of lung cancer in smokers, there was no evidence of harm from the higher doses of zinc and Vitamin E.
