Six-dimension breakdown
Why this scored 77/100
PreserVision AREDS 2 mirrors exactly the National Eye Institute's AREDS2 trial formula — lutein 10mg, zeaxanthin 2mg, vitamin C 500mg, vitamin E 400 IU, zinc 80mg, copper 2mg — the only OTC supplement in this batch built on a landmark RCT (AREDS2 Research Group, JAMA 2013) showing 18% reduced progression to advanced AMD in a specific patient subgroup. Bausch+Lomb quality baseline is real; below Elite only for lack of NSF/USP certification.
Evidence & sources
The Vyvata score's Evidence dimension measures the quality of published RCT support for a product's active ingredients at the label dose. Our source hierarchy: double-blind RCTs in MEDLINE-indexed journals > single-blind RCTs > open-label trials > observational studies > mechanism papers > N=1 case studies (anecdotes). Predatory journals and manufacturer-authored studies without independent replication are weighted down.
Product-specific evidence citations for this item are embedded in the analysis text on the "Analysis" tab. For the full framework and evidence hierarchy, see the methodology page.
How to read the Evidence dimension
- 80–100: Multiple double-blind RCTs in indexed journals directly testing this product OR the exact ingredients at the exact dose.
- 60–79: Single double-blind RCT + supporting ingredient literature at the studied dose.
- 40–59: Open-label trials + ingredient literature; no product-specific double-blind evidence.
- 20–39: Ingredient literature only; no product-specific trials or trials in predatory venues.
