ICAPS contains high potency
antioxidants, vitamins and zinc at concentrations deliberately set
above the RDA (Recommended Daily Amount) to provide maximum benefit.
Studies suggest doses above the RDA may be necessary to have any
positive effect on eye health. The Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) was conducted on a double-masked,
placebo-controlled group consisting of 3,609 people ages 55
to 80, to demonstrate the effectiveness of a high-potency
vitamin and mineral supplement on the preservation of eye
health and vision. Its findings proved that
high-potency supplement of antioxidant vitamins and zinc can
slow the progression of moderate to advanced age-related
macular degeneration (AMD)
and its associated vision loss.
In fact, when taking a supplement, those most at risk
for developing advanced AMD significantly decreased that
risk by about 25% and also reduced the risk of vision loss
caused by advanced AMD, by about 19%.
ICAPS was formulated after the AREDS
study BUT DOES NOT CONTAIN THE AREDS FORMULA.
ICAPS®
Multivitamin & Multimineral contains zinc, an essential nutrient
for healthy eyes. While other vitamins may also contain this
important ingredient, the ICaps®
formula features zinc in the form of zinc acetate, which is the form
most easily absorbed by your body.
The ICAPS®
formula provides time-released dosing. Time-released dosing allows
the ingredients to dissolve gradually over time, so that your body
may retain more. In addition, the slower release may result in less
stomach upset.
Now you don't
have to eat overwhelming amounts of vegetables to promote healthy
eyes. A University of Utah Dietary Study showed that the
bioavailability of lutein & zeaxanthin in ICAPS®
is equal to that in diets high in these carotenoids.
