Vitamins & Supplements

Vitamins and Supplements

This is the nutrition shelf of the store. Vitamins and supplements are food products, not medicines, and what we stock here ranges from single ingredient omega-3 softgels to broad daily multivitamins. Most people arrive on this page for one of two reasons. Either an eye care professional named a specific formula at an appointment, or a shopper is browsing to see what the eye care brands actually make. If nobody has pointed you to a product yet, that conversation with your own eye doctor or physician is the right place to begin.

What you will find

• Omega-3s. Fish oil, flaxseed and other omega sources in softgel and liquid form, labeled by their EPA and DHA content. Nordic Naturals, PRN, MacuHealth, OcuSci and Oasis Medical are all represented.
• AREDS and Macular Support. Formulas built on the AREDS 2 ingredient profile, which typically pairs lutein and zeaxanthin with vitamins C and E, zinc and copper. PreserVision, Ocuvite, Focus Select and MacuHealth sit in this group.
• Multivitamins. Broad daily formulas from wellness brands such as HealthyCell, Pure Encapsulations and Mary Ruth's, alongside eye specific multivitamins like MaxiVision and Retaine Vision.
• Liquid Vitamins. Bottled and pouched formats for people who would rather not swallow a capsule, including Tropical Oasis and the liquid version of PRN Dry Eye Omega Benefits.
• Chewables. Gummies and chewable tablets, such as the FitEyez grape gummies and the Focus Select citrus chewable.
• Electrolyte Hydration. Single serve powder packets mixed into water, including the Dry Eye Drink daytime and PM sets.
• Probiotics. Live culture capsules and powders from the general wellness brands in our range.

Formats, sizes and labels

Format is the first practical choice. Softgels and capsules are the most common, chewables and gummies suit people who dislike pills, liquids can be measured or mixed, and powder sticks travel well. Sizes are usually printed as a count, such as 60 or 90 or 180, and many brands also describe a bottle as a one, two or three month supply so you can compare cost per container. Some products are sold as two packs. The Supplement Facts panel on every bottle lists the ingredients and the serving the maker suggests, and it is also where allergen information appears, which matters if you avoid fish, shellfish, soy or gelatin. Flavor is worth a look on the omega-3s, since several are sold in lemon or other flavors.

Talk to your eye care professional

We are a retailer, not your care team, and nothing on this page is medical advice or a recommendation to take anything. Supplements can interact with prescription and over the counter medication, and some are not appropriate during pregnancy, while nursing, or alongside an existing condition. Bring the label, or a link to the product page, to your eye doctor, physician or pharmacist and let them tell you what fits your situation. If your clinician has already given you a plan, follow theirs rather than anything you read in a product description here.
