- Formulated, manufactured, and tested in our Mt. Angel, Oregon facility.
How Eye Complete lines up with AREDS2 macular research*
The National Eye Institute’s AREDS and AREDS2 trials studied a specific mix of vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, copper, lutein, and zeaxanthin for people with intermediate age‑related macular degeneration (AMD). These supplements slowed progression to late AMD in many participants, but did not cure AMD or help early‑stage disease. You can read the official summary on the NEI AREDS2 supplements page and in the original JAMA AREDS2 clinical trial publication .
Eye Complete uses the same six core nutrient categories studied in AREDS2 and adds modern extras like bilberry and glutathione. It is inspired by that research but is not an official AREDS2 product. Always talk with your eye‑care professional about which formula is right for your eyes.
| Nutrient | AREDS2 research formula (per day) |
Eye Complete (2 capsules) |
|---|---|---|
| Vitamin C | 500 mg vitamin C | 500 mg vitamin C (ascorbic acid) |
| Vitamin E | 400 IU vitamin E | 15 mg d‑alpha tocopherol (vitamin E) |
| Zinc | 80 mg zinc (standard AREDS2) 25 mg zinc in a tested lower‑zinc variation |
25 mg zinc (chelate) for a gentler daily dose |
| Copper | 2 mg copper (cupric oxide) | 1 mg copper (chelate) |
| Lutein | 10 mg lutein | 20 mg lutein from Lutemax® 2020 |
| Zeaxanthin | 2 mg zeaxanthin | 4 mg zeaxanthin from Lutemax® 2020 |
| Plus in Eye Complete | Not included in AREDS2 core formula | 100 mg bilberry extract, 75 mg NAC + glutathione blend, clean excipients |
NEI investigators also tested a reduced‑zinc AREDS2 formula (25 mg per day) and found no meaningful loss of protective effect compared with the higher zinc dose. Eye Complete follows that lower‑zinc approach while doubling the carotenoid levels and adding extra antioxidant support.*
What Eye Complete helps support*
Macular health and contrast sensitivity*
Lutein and zeaxanthin concentrate in the macula, where they help build macular pigment. Stronger macular pigment supports contrast, glare recovery, and long‑term retinal health.*
Blue light and screen‑time stress*
Clinical research on macular carotenoids shows that supplementation can increase macular pigment, improve visual performance, and reduce symptoms like eye strain under high screen use.* Several trials with lutein and zeaxanthin blends, including Lutemax® ingredients, have reported benefits for visual processing, eye fatigue, and blue‑light‑related discomfort.*
Night vision and dark adaptation*
Vitamin A, bilberry, and antioxidants support the retina as it adapts from light to dark. Many users take Eye Complete to support night driving and dim‑light comfort as part of a broader eye‑care plan.*
Age‑related eye support*
Vitamins C and E, zinc, copper, and macular carotenoids help neutralize oxidative stress in the retina.* These are the same nutrient categories studied in AREDS and AREDS2 for age‑related macular changes.*
What is inside every 2‑capsule serving
Lutein and zeaxanthin from Lutemax® 2020
Each serving supplies 20 mg lutein and 4 mg zeaxanthin from Lutemax® 2020 marigold extract. These carotenoids are the primary pigments in the macula and help filter high‑energy blue light while acting as antioxidants.* You can explore more of the published Lutemax® research on visual performance and blue‑light exposure at the Lutemax® information site and in peer‑reviewed macular carotenoid trials.
Vitamin C and vitamin E
500 mg vitamin C and 15 mg natural vitamin E work together as front‑line antioxidants.* They help protect delicate retinal tissues from free radicals generated by light exposure and everyday metabolism.*
Zinc and copper
Eye Complete provides 25 mg zinc (chelate) and 1 mg copper to support normal visual function and antioxidant enzymes.* Zinc also plays a structural role in the retina. Copper is included to help maintain mineral balance when zinc intake is higher than typical diet levels.*
Bilberry extract
100 mg bilberry fruit extract, standardized to anthocyanins, adds additional flavonoid antioxidant support.* Bilberry has a long history of use in traditional European herbal practice for night vision and microcirculation support around the eyes.*
NAC and glutathione blend
A proprietary 75 mg blend of N‑acetyl cysteine (NAC) and glutathione supports the body’s own antioxidant systems.* These sulfur‑containing compounds help maintain the redox balance that protects cells, including retinal cells, from oxidative stress.*
Clean, Oregon‑made capsules
Eye Complete uses vegetarian capsules and simple support ingredients like organic rice concentrate and rice extract. It contains no soy, salt, yeast, gluten, milk or egg products, sugar, starch, or preservatives.
Eye Complete vs. typical eye vitamins
| Feature | Eye Complete | Typical eye vitamin |
|---|---|---|
| Macular carotenoids | 20 mg lutein + 4 mg zeaxanthin from Lutemax® 2020. | May use lower lutein dose, less clear zeaxanthin content, or generic extracts. |
| AREDS2‑style nutrient pattern | Includes vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, copper, lutein, and zeaxanthin in research‑informed ranges.* | Some follow AREDS2 closely; others omit key minerals or carotenoids. |
| Extra antioxidant support | Bilberry plus NAC and glutathione for added retinal and whole‑body support.* | Often only basic vitamins and zinc, fewer premium botanicals or glutathione builders. |
| Manufacturing | Formulated, manufactured, and tested in Mt. Angel, Oregon in a UL‑audited cGMP facility. | Frequently contract‑manufactured with limited visibility into plant and testing. |
| Label and excipients | No soy, salt, yeast, gluten, milk or egg products, sugar, starch, or preservatives. | Commonly uses extra binders, coatings, colors, or sweeteners. |
How to use Eye Complete
Adults typically take two capsules daily with food, or as directed by a healthcare professional. Many people take Eye Complete with their largest meal of the day to support absorption of fat‑soluble nutrients.*
If your eye doctor has already recommended an AREDS2‑style supplement for intermediate AMD, share this label with them and ask whether Eye Complete fits your plan. Do not change any prescribed treatment without talking to your clinician.
How Eye Complete fits into a Mt. Angel vision and longevity routine*
Eye health usually sits inside a bigger healthy‑aging plan. Customers often pair Eye Complete with:
- Men’s 50+ Multivitamin or Women’s 50+ Multivitamin for daily nutrients, including additional Lutemax® 2020 carotenoids and antioxidants.*
- Everyday Liquid Sunshine 2 – D3 + K2 for bone, immune, and healthy‑aging support that complements long‑term eye health strategies.*
- Our blog articles like “Who actually owns your vitamins?” if you want to understand why locally made, rigorously tested supplements matter.

Eye Complete frequently asked questions
Is Eye Complete an official AREDS2 supplement?
No. Eye Complete is inspired by AREDS2 research and uses the same categories of nutrients, but the exact amounts differ. It adds extra carotenoids, bilberry, NAC, and glutathione. For the exact AREDS2 research formula, see the National Eye Institute’s AREDS2 supplement overview and talk with your eye doctor.
Can Eye Complete prevent macular degeneration?
Eye Complete is not intended to prevent, treat, or cure macular degeneration. Its nutrients support macular pigment, antioxidant status, and overall eye health.* NEI reports that AREDS2‑style supplements can slow progression in some people with intermediate AMD, but they are not a cure. Always rely on your eye‑care professional for diagnosis and treatment decisions.
Is Eye Complete safe if I already take a multivitamin?
Many customers use Eye Complete alongside a Mt. Angel multivitamin. Because both products contain vitamin C, vitamin E, and zinc, review your total intake with your clinician, especially if you have kidney, mineral balance, or bleeding concerns.
How long should I take Eye Complete?
Eye and macular support are long‑term goals. Most people use Eye Complete daily for months or years as part of a broader plan that includes regular eye exams, diet, and lifestyle changes. Your eye‑care professional can help you decide how long and how often to supplement.
