Vitamin/Mineral Supplementation and Deficiency
"I am on this for dry macular degeneration.  Was unaware of any side effects of this supplement until I just looked at the listed ones online!  I started taking gels once a day for about a week, had hive like symptoms on arms, legs; my lip swelled up, and I SHOULD have looked sooner at list of possible side effects.  I stopped taking them, and all symptoms went away!  Now I&#039;m afraid to take any AREDS 2 that my Dr. recommended for fear of similar side effects!  She suggested Occuvite and another brand I couldn&#039;t find, told me specifically AREDS 2 formulas.  Will have to rethink this whole idea now!"
