Co-Defense Multivitamins

Avoids overlap with AREDS2 macular degeneration ingredients

The National Eye Institute's AREDS 2 research showed benefit of these six ingredients:

• Vitamin C

• Vitamin E

• Zinc

• Copper

• Lutein

• Zeaxanthin

However, many over-the-counter multivitamin supplements contain one or more of these ingredients, creating overlap and possible over-dosage situations.

Co-Defense® is a multivitamin uniquely formulated for patients who take macular degeneration supplements based upon the National Eye Institute's Age Related Eye Disease Study.

• Co-Defense removes Vitamin A, C, E, Zinc and Copper - nutrients that already exist in high amounts in VisiVite and other macular degeneration supplements.

• Compared with other multivitamins, Co-Defense contains twice the levels of water soluble B vitamins and triple the amount of Lycopene, nutrients that are of importance as we age.

Why does this supplement use Vitamin D-2 rather than D-3?

Co-Defense is made with synthetic Vitamin D-2, since most sources of Vitamin D-3 are from animal sources, including fat from sheep's wool.
